To be honest I get the three red lights every time I turn the console on. I just turn it back off, leave it for about 30 seconds and then turn it back on again. Works for me.
Again... call Microsoft to get it repaired, you got a 3 year warranty on it.Quote:

( its all the same . . . Hardware Failure... who cares what name its given)...
Ps3 is just as prone to hardware failure in many aspects not just overheating . . .
Xbox 360 has mainly only 1 problem and that is the Environmentally Safe solder they use....
Also my friend gets RROD all the time he just Unplugs it plugs it back in and hes good for hours and he abuses his xbox system. . .
And yes I am an Xbox 360 Fan and DAMN PROUD! Does it mean I wont buy the Ps3 at a future Date? NO but damn it im not gona spend 400$ on a system that has no Content and nothing Im looking forward to playing... Now if it was 250$ That is a Value cause at least it would make a Nice Blue Ray Disc Player. . . Not that I own any Blue Ray discs . . . Im happy with DL DvD movies . . . that I can rent from BlockBuster... (who really cares about the format, I hate Format wars... Blue Ray is Sony's last ditch attempt at marketing. . . "It has Blue Ray" Omg the "way of the Future" in a few months they will Invent something new allowing you to fit 200000000Gb's on a Dvd and then what will Blue Ray be? Garbage thats what. . . Both DL and Blue ray will be obsolete . . . its inevitable so why get caught up in a format conflict.
So if you wana play Ps3 go ahead have Fun with your Door stop "Blue Ray Disc Player" and stare at it till some Fun Content comes out. . .
Even if my Xbox Died Tonight I would Just send it To Mc Soft .... and they will take care of it.

pfffff why all the xbox 360 videos are the same age from xbox 360 launch . . .
and people throw them at me all the time....
Im done with this topic say what you will about xbox 360 etc.... wont change my mind and everyone who buys a Ps3 and truely believes it is better than xbox is a retard. . .
No matter what anyone says
Xbox 360 has a better video card. . . and more/better titles...
Most 3rd party titles are ported to both systems (but look better on the xbox)
Sony Ps3 Does have a faster processor, but none of the games on the ps3 take full advantage of it. . .
Sony is dealing with a very limited slowly expanding list of titles... sure it has a few good future lineups. . . but nothing to get your panties all in a bunch about...
Anyone who believes anything Different is a retard....
Assassins Creed = Great Game On Both Ps3 and Xbox
Grand Theft Auto = Great Game now on Both Ps3 and Xbox
Theres even talk in the mists of the internets that state that theres a possibility that the Metal Gear Solid series being ported ( I doubt it as that would spell doom to Sony's Ps3. . ., there will probably be a timed exclusive for the most part) I dont care much as MGs4 isn't really a Multyplayer type game in my opinion. . . so ill just go to my friends house, finish the game and never look at it again just as i did with the rest of the Mgs..
Unreal Tourny 3 also will have a delayed release to the xbox...(((05/01/08)))
There are Tons of Xbox games out now already and tons more planned for the future...
DOA4 (awesome game)
Quake 4
Elder Scrolls series. . .
Prey
Orange Box (portals, Team Fortress, HALF LIFE)
Halo Series
GTR
Huxley
What does that leave the ps3? well lets see
The Tekken 6 series ( Great game cant dispute that)
KillZone 2 ( Killzone 1 wasn't that fun i have played it.... maybe 2nd one will be better but dont know. . . as most videos are just cinematics)
MGS4
Unreal Tourny 3(Timed Exclusive)
Final Fantasy Crap ( Hate All of them after 7) (especially 10)
Heavenly Sword ( I will take Ninja Gaiden on xbox over that title anyday)
God Of war ( again ninja Gaiden better...)
Socom
Heres a more extensive list. . .
The Exclusive Arms Race: June 2007 Update (Special) @ Gaming Target
I truely Believe the Xbox 360 holds a Better Value in Current and Future content, But less Value in Hardware(despite better video card)
So pick
Value in Hardware
Or
Value in Games
Ps: Put what to shame 98% of what I stated is MY OBSERVATION presented from My Point of View in Consumer Value.... (My view of consumer Value), Different people hold Different Values... some people just want a ps3 because it is just that "A Ps3 ... the 3r rendition of a console they owned the previous 2 renditions to...) and to some people that in itself is enough value...
But for someone to blatantly say that the Ps3 is Better than the Xbox 360 in every respect is just ignorant.... there are Pros and Cons to both systems. . . but Hardware Failure is something bost systems share in common even if you chose to ignore it.
Also my apologies on the aspect of Ps3 overheating, Maybe it doesn't overheat. . . but they still have general hardware failures...also perhaps the Xbox 360 problems are not generally 100% an overheating issue. . . i go into forge mode in Halo and Blow up 30x Fusion Coils just for Fun in a non-stop contiguous loop "just to mess around" and the Xbox Barely Pulls a hick up and stays around the same operating temp... as normal +/- a few degrees... i would like to actually get a heat sensor (other than the back of my hand) to test heat but the differance is relatively small for my system under load/idle.....
I think for the past xbox failures there is more to it than just Solder and heat...
A general Question to NoPeace
All FanBoy/Blablabla Bable put Aside Hands Down
If you had to chose which system you "enjoy playing more" which would you pick
Xbox 360 or Playstation 3?
I would pick the Xbox 360 just because I like the Lineup and enjoy it more online.(and yes I have played Both, I played Resistance fall of Man, at a friends house, It was a good game but Halo 3 was a lot more fun just because of the random things that seem to happen in the game... "you cant play it 2 times and have the same thing happen everytime" To date I have finished Halo 3 On legendary about 8 Times "Onetime for each time a friend purchased an Xbox and Halo one week after playing at my house, most of them came over without influence from me and picked up the control and said "this is f%## FUN" at which point i replied "wait till you play online..." then they said " You can play this crazy shit Online o0?"
Atleast 3 Days out of the week each week for the past 3 months its me and 5 - 9 other people playing anything from custom games on halo, to matches in Dead or Alive 4.... its just Fun.
Atm I am even getting ready to go out an get Call of Duty 4 cause my cousin got showed me it at his house, it was nuts and a ton of fun the multi player is Fun but i dont like the radar in the standard settings... all i have to say only1 bad thing about the game is the standard Radar settings that show enemy positions all the time.
whats the best way to keep your 360 from getting the three lights i means theres alot of minor things to look out for what is the best thing to do from keeping it from the red light?
------15 Rules------Quote:

6) Don't put it next to a space heater
7) Don't shake it Violently
8) Keep a stable voltage to it ( Apc/un-interruptible psu)
9) I would put a little electrical tape on the power cord connection to make it tighter as it is loose sometimes.
10) I prefer to stand it vertically so that minimal heat is traped within a smaller surface area apposed to flat where one entire side is focusing heat.
( i know what your all gona say "your Blocking Fans" but your not there are no Fans on that side ;) ) + I have it on a custom built stand so that it is levitated thus it is floating in mid air)
11) If you have a white Xbox from Launch kiss it goodbye and go buy one.
12) Keep it out of an entertainment center that gets cramped in space.
13) Don't put it on any other Set-top Boxes liek a vcr/dvd player.
14) Do NOT use third party Coolers as they can ruin your xbox... as they draw power from your xbox straining it...(intercooler)
15) Id say let the thing warm up over 2 minutes @ dash board b4 playing if you have a really cold room like in a basement as to reduce sudden stress fractures.
Notice most of it is common sense.
Same question goes to you. Why would you suggest it?Quote:

Read that and you'll be amazed. The PS3 can run for days at temps over 100f. Unlike the x360, that will crash if the room temp is at 90f.
The fail rate for the x360 is 33%. Which is 1 out of ever 3.Quote:

Now a 5-10% fail rate is standard for electronics. A 33% isn't.
And you can tell this by looking at the warranty. Both came out with a 90day warranty. MS on the other had had to keep increasing it because of the high fail rate, which unlike Sony who doesn't have to.
MS would not waist money on buying out the major game publishers. Why? Because it's not profitable to them. Sure spending 50m one company is no deal to them but to spend 5b on one studio is a big deal.Quote:

Nice one. He is turning it off as soon as he turns it on. -.-Quote:

And not all of the problems with the x360 are with the solder. There are some bad drives and a lot do over heat and that's nothing to do with bad solder.
What your friend suffers from is overheating. That is why when it leave it off for a few mins and turns it back on it works.
More like a few years. They do have 1tb single layer optical disks in development but they wont be out on the market for nearly 10 years.Quote:

DL DVDs are at their limits. They cannot hold HD video and with games they are getting pressed for storage capacity.
Look at the game UT3. It's going to be on several DL DVDs for the PC and 1 BR on the PS3. Both will have the same content but when it comes to the x360 version of the game that will require 1 DL DVD to do the job, it wont cut it. Epic has announced that the x360 version of the game will lack a big chunk of the content because of it.
The extra storage of BR disks benefit greatly. Why? More data can be stored on it and less compression is needed. This means that you'll have more stuff, better audio, and faster load times.
Actually I do have fun playing my PS3. I'm actually playing it at the moment (replaying to this in between games).Quote:

Wow Cod 4 is F#$#$ Awesome o0...
Lets all just agree that, both systems are unique in there own respect each has pros and cons and that neather system is destinctly dominant over the other in all respects....
Both systems have great games. . .
Both systems are Next Gen. . .
Both systems are at a moderately good value. . .
Xbox 360 does have heat issues . . .
Xbox live is WAY better than Ps3's online system. . .
But ps3 in all Fairness does a good job in providing online content for free...
Many games are shared between the systems...
There are some GREAT Exclusives on Both Systems...
Now lets all pass the Brews and Enjoy our games ^^...
*But so help me god if i hear one more "Ps3 is Better" I will snipe that persons Avatar with my SRS 99D Am Sniper Rifle. ^^

hahahaha this has nothing to do with anything but i thought id share what a friend sent me.
YouTube - Halo 3 Baseball Homerun
^^ That is what i meant by "Random Stuff" in halo ^^
Umm... If you haven't noticed. I am saying the PS3 is better because in many ways it is. Thanks to its much better hardware.Quote:

You couldn't just take the olive branch ;) . . .
here we go.
Xbox 360 Video Chip = Better than Ps3 Video Chip . . . to me nothing else makes any differance at all as a game is only as good as it can be displayed and played. . .
Go have fun with a useless 9 core processor ( 8 with 1 disabled) nothing even uses it . . . just as is the case with quad core systems not being able to run games that well because the games are not programed to take advantage . . .
And I'll take the adaptive 512 mb Gddr3 Ram Of the Xbox 360 over the segmented 256 and 256 system in place on the ps3 any day. . .
Who needs:
Blue Ray
Sd Card readers
10 usb ports
And 5 Extra useless Processing Cores. . .
The Xbox 360 has 3 Usb Ports and they have more functionality built into them than 10 ps3 usb ports . . .
Xbox 360 is:
Ipod / External HDD Capable / Usb Keyboard capable . . . and they even sell special plug ins that let you use a mouse / Keyb In Fps Games . . .
What does the Ps3 do with all its ports ? Load Grandmas Photos? O how nice.
I can play TONS of media content off my Networked Pc's and External Drives and Mp3 Players, Dl Tons of Full Length Movies and even Purchase games Chat with friends, Live voice chat (VOIP), Leave Text/Audio Messages . . . The way the Ps3 even attempts to half of that is barbaric at best in execution.
So " go ahead and revolve around /hide behind the Cell Processor" if you ask me its not all that great for the hype it creates it sure falls short . . .
and keep bringing up failure stories of systems built over a year ago. . . anyways Intel claims 80 cores in around 3 - 4 Years. . . So figure in another year they will be running 8 to 16 Core systems on a 45nm lithography...(maybe even smaller who knows by then)
The PS3 is not ahead of its time its already Behind its time and its early failure will probably go down as sony's BIGGEST mistake Ever.
