I have finally decided it's time to bin my PS2, I am going to get an Xbox 360 next week hopefully. Could you tell me a little about them and what can go wrong with them... Stuff like that because I'm a little worried, I'll be buying one of eBay and I heared Xboxes get the 3 lights of death quite AKA ring of fire a lot. I'm not sure if I should risk it.
-
I on my xbox a lot of the time... Rainbow Six mainly :D
There is a lot of speculation about the red ring of death, I haven't encountered it yet, but I am prepared.
The online gaming is excellent, good communication, graphics and so on.
you'll enjoy it, provided you get the right games of course.
-
you can only risk something on ebay, when you don't buy at shops. Never buy such electronic things from normal guys. Go to the trusted shops and bet or buy at once there.

Yeah I saw a good deal on Amazon £230. I can afford that. :lol: I just purchased my new bike so I don't have much cash.

I had the 'ring of death' i shipped it to MS and it works now , but is still prone to crash , I have however heard they fixed a lot of problems with the later versions ( I bought one in the first few months) But i hear PS3 is more stable , better graphics (and more $$ ofc)
Bottom line Its not bad but not the best; if you buy one make sure its not one of the first versions (so dont buy second hand) > MS did however tripple the warantee period (wel they were forced because its a known fact that they would crash /brake down)
-
Well i have an xbox 360,,,,Its awesome and has the very good games...U can Pimp your xbox too with diferent colours .... :)
Dont buy a playstation ...Its too expensive and Xbox 360 got better graphics .....
-
I like PS3 more, free online, easy playing, wireless controlers, ect ect ect..
(PS: don't start a fight now what console is better :roll: )
-
Never stand them up on end. Ever.
I mean, you can if you have around 5 copies of each game. Scratchtastic! :D
Only problem I've ever had with 360 really is scratched disks, so should be fine. :conf:
-
Well i dont want to provoke any war :)
Btw PS3 its really good,but i like xbox 360 more :)
-
3RDoD ( 3 red lights of doom) is aload of ballocks, i've got it 10 tiomes, and nothing, it is just a way of turning the Xbox off when it gets too hot, ye it can still happen, spend 14.99 in GAME and get a cooling fan. ;)
-
Red Circle of Doom is a "Hardware Error", which is doom.

So the console has to be sat horizontal like the PS2? The old PS2 scratched disks when vertical to.
-
Don't trow your PS2 on the bin, poor children need it, I'm poor and I'm only 19, I need it very much, plz send it to me... :redface:
BTW HD DVD died yesterday. And 360 is falling down with it.
Better go for the PS3 if you want to see vids on it.
And money is no excuse cause they cost the same now.

Mate, i made the transistion from ps2 to 360 a couple of weeks ago
Bought mine from gamestation, new, 275 quid or thereabouts (PREMIUM), with 3 games, forza 2, viva pinata, BURNOUT PARADISE <<< MUST BUY :D:D:D:D and extra wireless controller,
10 quid for play and charge kit (I bought my 360 at the same time, normal price is £15), GET ONE FOR SURE MAN :P nothing more annoying than being in a race on forza, and seeing, "please reconnect controller" while being online, it does pause when u run out of batteries, but u cant pause online lol.
i also got, 2 for £40, rainbow six vegas, and halo 3
rs:v crashes a fair bit if im honest, thats the game though

-
Microsoft is a cocksucking biatch.
I only use their free stuff.
They will never get money from me.
-
Ah, see how much the PS3 "will suck" once their Xbox breaks down and they will get a second, maybe 3rd hand Repaired one back for it. :rofl:
Sony will give you a new one back :)
Plus, once game developers will use the full capability of the PS3, where will the "Good" games of 360 be?. On their pixelated screen, lmao.
PS always had the better controllers, better service, and what not. Bill Gates's place taker is laughing at you people. Spending your nice money on Xbox live and 2 Monthly Repairs Hahahaha.
:ps: PiMP i used to play LFS with my steering wheel. I was damn good at drifting. I'm thinking of downloading it again.. nice game, best driver game i played after Gran Turismo.

The PS Controllers make me die :(

Actually, the repairs are free, and you get a free month of Xbox Live with each one. So you never have to pay for either :lol:
-
I like the idea of paying for Xbox live, because, you pay for an excellent service that trolls don't exist on.
Also, by the time game developers are using the PS3's "Full gaming capability" Microsoft will probably have some uber 1337 console that will still be cheaper than a PS3 :lol:

OK, well, Xbox FTW! :lol:
But seriously, something tells me Microsoft will always have the upper hand when it comes down to gaming since the release of the Xbox.
-
the problem with Microsoft is that they wanna have money out of everything.
I check the Xbox life online stuff from a friend of mine.
The servers are the same as PS3, no lag.
So i dont understand why it needs to be payed for.
Halo 3, if you want more maps, you need to buy it...
Halo 3 on PC, you need to buy a xbox life card to play it... wtf?
Xbox is just killing your wallet, no, give me the PS3 that makes me plug and play.
I make use of online everyday, and it works fine.

Fanboys, I'll stop arguing...

What upper hand. Who ever said the Xbox has the "upper hand".. Xbox fans - yes. I will never touch a Xbox again.. I don't care if Sony will get terrorist bombed so they cannot make anymore. I will not touch any Microsoft shit apart from my PC. Microsoft is total wankjuice,.

Xbox 360 controllers - To big for my hands. They're frigging huge and bulky and horrible colour.

The thing I heard the most on these links is the price. Bullshit, cause in europe the cost the same now.
Other thing is them comparing games that are worse in PS3.
Sure, they are ports. Wait until a completely PS3 game to came out and you will see.
GT5...
PS3 has more powerfull hardware.
Remember Dreamcast VS PS2 war, it's the same thing, only Microsoft has money to keep advertising, sega didn't.

The Playstation 2 was the inferior of the three in its generation, the superior Xbox and Gamecube did worse because they came out later.
Its the same now. The supposedly superior PS3 will do worse than the 360, because it came out later. And it costs more.

The 360 controlled slips from my hands when they're are sweaty, which never happens with the ps controllers.

The PS Controllers kinda slip in my hands when they aren't sweaty. :(
The Xbox controllers aren't anything amazing.. they aren't fitted to your hand or anything, they just get the job done, and with a crapload of buttons.
The PS controllers kinda hurt my wrists, because of how you have to hold your fingers around the back.

I really don't see how you could lose a 360 controller by hand-slippage, thats what the groove between the battery pack and the handles are for. Also, why would you need to be able to press 2 buttons at once? Which ones do you mean? :conf:
-

A neat pic you might have already seen.

fighting combos.
Anyway. I preffer the ps controllers. I like the style of them, it's like if you were holding two guns.
the black version the PS3 is neater.
-
I am not sure, they both have their bad points and good points, I do believe on the Xbox the left thumbstick and Y, B, A, X buttons are located to high to reach in complete comfort but it's not a major issue. The PS2/3 controllers are good but I find the buttons to cramped together and it's bad for your hands but great for young people. I guess it's just up to personal choise, how long your fingers are and how large the surface area of the palm of your hand is.

XBOX 360 doesnt have better graphics or atleast it shouldnt have because the PS 3 is the more powerfull machine

True, and PS3 is waaaay faster then Xbox

One question that I have is, should I have my Xbox horizontal or vertical. I know that if you move the console with the disc in then it scratches it but which is the best way to have it to combine disc life with a good ammount of air flow.
-
I have my PS3 Vertical, and i never had any problems with it. Ofcourse the Xbox is total bollocks and will eat your CD in 2 weeks when vertical. So Horizontal :)

It scratches even if you have it horizontal or vertical.
You need to send it to mircosoft, they fix the problem, atleast thats what my mate said.

Have it horizontal
Overheating isn't a major problem anymore.
-
Why not just buy a PS3 ? but i love 360.. its great..
-

Because I don't like the PS3 and I don't want one.

Trojan, it really doesn't matter, I don't find overheating a problem and my discs are fine.

Yeah I'm probably going to have it horizontal and buy an intercooler.

I personally have both, and i am sure that the PS3 on HD would pwn the 360 on HD

OK, this topic is titled Xbox 360 chat. It is not titled PS3 fanboy VS Xbox community chat nor is it even called PS3 chat. So don't speak about PS3s here. My topic was a question about the Xbox 360 not the PS3. Now the topic is about general Xbox 360 chat. People have the right to choose what console they want. I don't care if you have a Nintendo Wii, I don't care if you have a PS3, I don't care if you have some 8 core processor 10gb ram 1tb hdd computer... This topic is called Xbox 360 chat for a reason. My question still stands...

As long as you don't have your Xbox in a confined space, it wont over heat, and if you do have it in a confined space, it will take a good few hours to overheat...
When it does overheat, you get frequent crashes... So, you turn it off.
As I said earlier, vertical and horizontal really don't matter, just pick which ever you prefer whether it be because of space or airflow or whatever...

I have to say, I have personally had bad experiences with the Xbox being Vertical and discs being scratched. I've also never had a problem with air flow in the Horizontal position.

OMG now I am confused!!! Microsoft made the Xbox to stand vertical but can only stand horizontal? The idea was for it to look like it was taking a deep breath, when horizontal it looks like a crushed pancake.
-
look they are both potentially good machines (xbox360 and ps3) but Microsoft rushed the xbox out before the Ps3 because last time (ps2 xbox ) it was the other way arround >>
the Ps 2 was less powerfull but put on the market before the xbox , this resulted in the ps2 to be more popular even though it was less powerfull , MS saw this and that is why they tried the same , but they rushed it so the 360 wasnt tested enough . thats how it Happened

Well, its your choice as to how you do it. But certainly in Game and Gamestation they advise everyone to put it horizontal. However, the worst problems have been with the older (2005, 2006) versions, so maybe they have corrected any error. So maybe its fine. :)
-
Lol i got kicked out of a "Game" Store today. I went to have a look at the PS3 games and i saw an xbox 360 u know as they do on testing thingys. Anyway i was playing it for about 5 minutes when it just went off. Then a store guy came up to me and kicked me out :(

I got one made in November 2007, just delivered today.
:ps: I don't care what console is the best. I back Microsoft all the way. Sony has made 5 consoles (PS PSone PS2 PS2slim PS3). Microsoft has made only 2 consoles and already they have made a great console worthy of competing on today's markets without as much experience as Sony.

:ps: I don't care what console is the best. I back Microsoft all the way. Sony has made 5 consoles (PS PSone PS2 PS2slim PS3). Microsoft has made only 2 consoles and already they have made a great console worthy of competing on today's markets without as much experience as Sony.
Got it on LIVE yet?

As long as you don't have your Xbox in a confined space, it wont over heat, and if you do have it in a confined space, it will take a good few hours to overheat...
When it does overheat, you get frequent crashes... So, you turn it off.
As I said earlier, vertical and horizontal really don't matter, just pick which ever you prefer whether it be because of space or airflow or whatever...
My 360 is right next to my Wii and Ps2 standing vertical.
Wii is much smaller, so should it cause much problems?

No...
It overheats after like... 3 hours or something anyway.

I have mine on with a fan next to it blowing on it to cool it down, I've played on it for like 6 hours, no crashes, no problems at all just warm air coming out of the back.

Better to have the fan facing away from the xbox...
Basically, you want the fan there to extract hot air, and depending on where you have your fan, you could just be blowing the hot air back into the system.
So... Try and get your external fan to work WITH the xbox fan.

No, think of it this way... If you're looking at your Xbox in a horizontal position, the side vents allow cold air into the Xbox to cool it down. The fans at the back of the Xbox are to extract the warm air from the Xbox so there is a continuous circulation of air in the Xbox. I have my fan pointing at the main vent at the right side to keep the air flowing more efficiently. If I had a fan blowing the back of the console then yeah it would just blow air back at the fans.
I think Microsoft should think about making the air flow more efficient in the next Xbox. Maybe two quiet fans to extract air and one quiet fan to draw cold air into the Xbox but if you live in a hot country then that would be useless.
