Sony: “PS3 Bug Has Fixed Itself”

+360

I was saying to my friend earlier, all 3 consoles have their ups and downs, I own all 3 of them, and love them all. Fanboys just get angry because they're jealous that they can't enjoy the benefits of the other consoles.

Wow, Anonymous 22:19, considering how many people's 360's RROD on them you're getting lucky.

I myself have had three of them. My circle of friends couldn't afford the PS3 when it first came out so they all bought Xbox 360's meaning I got an Xbox 360. Well now that it's cheaper they all prefer the PS3. Personally I like 360, PS3, and Wii, but you've got to be blind if you don't see something amiss with the way Microsoft's made their consoles. Even if you've had absolutely no problems, it seems like for every one good Xbox there's about three broken xbox 360's.

After all I'm no fan boy I love gaming on the 360 but as a gamer I hold no allegiance towards one more than the other but I do feel like my ass is a little sore after having spent so much on this generation's consoles, primarily the 360, Wii's been great though.

>If I were inclined to believe you I'd tell you that I'm 99% positive your issue is you're inclined to use your 360 in tower mode, either that or you use one of those "cooling fans".

Although I'm not the one that uses the 360 in this house, we have a cooling fan AND the console always standing. It's even modded (Funny thing though, it hasn't been banned yet. I mean, sure, we removed the ethernet cable before turning it on so it couldn't connect to the internet, but still). There were even occasions where the console would be running for 24+ hours (forgetting to turn it off). No overheating, not a single RRoD. Go figure.

Anon 15:51,

"Lack of spell-check makes me disappoint," really? Do me a favor and look at what you just wrote followed by your next bit of text and tell me who needs spell check more.

I honestly can't say I'm the retarded one for purchasing that many systems as I do enjoy the 360 and it's certainly not hurting my bank account any. Maybe if I spend enough money this time around I will not have to the next time.

Furthermore I'm not saying you have to believe me, honestly I couldn't care less if you did I was simply stating what happened in my case and what happens to a lot of people. No I don't use the 360 in tower mode as that's what I did with my first 360 and after it scratched the shit out of one of my games I never placed it in that position before. I also don't use the cooling fans as I believe the systems shouldn't NEED a cooling fan if built properly.

Lastly, I've built a special shelf next to my television where the 360 can be away from any and all other electronics (about 3 feet from the t.v.) and can believe perfectly fine. My playstation 3 doesn't even get that much attention. So I'm sorry sir but you fail at your assumptions. I've got a friend that's an Xbox fanboy and he even considers himself lucky that he hasn't got the RROD, at least he can admit that it's a manufacturing problem.

"'Lack of spell-check makes me disappoint,' really? Do me a favor and look at what you just wrote followed by your next bit of text and tell me who needs spell check more."

Should read,

"'Lack of spell-check makes me disappoint,' really? Do me a favor and look at what you just wrote then tell me who needs spell check more."

I misread your second sentence and I apologize you actually spelled everything correctly.

My two brothers and I do the exact same. Take care of every electronic apparatus we own as if it was golden dust. Yet, they are now waiting for their fourth 360, while I bored myself to death today... Waiting for the clocks of by two PS3s to get off that idiot lolercoaster.

Your lack of spell-check makes me disappoint.

Not to mention the ridiculous claims you make belie your argument.

You say you've gone through 5 consoles, you're retarded simply for that.

If I were inclined to believe you I'd tell you that I'm 99% positive your issue is you're inclined to use your 360 in tower mode, either that or you use one of those "cooling fans".

Open area, lying flat, not one of those fans that blows the hot air back into the damn console.

PC gaming is FAR SUPERIOR to Console gaming! Better graphics, better movement, easier more accurate aiming, always online for games, cheaper to buy on launch (and a month later even cheaper!!!!), MORE GAMES!!!!, BETTER GAMES!!!!

I own a PS3 fatty, and when it went down, i just played on the PC...how impatient are people...lols

PC GAMING FTW!!! I SECOND THAT!!!

lol someone's a little butt hurt...

you may think you're making a good point/being funny, but really you just sound jealous... and butt hurt. either way consoles are gay.

pc gaming ftw!

And to be clear, I'm not one least bit satisfied with the way things turned out. Sony DID NOT FIX the issue (nor I think they will). It was a mistake in design and another in quality assurance to let that flaw pass, I think. Still, seen as a whole, this ridiculous issue with the clock is small, in light of the flaws found in the 360.

The PS community I observed in the PS blog behaved like spoiled children when in confusion and asslickers when the problem subsided. Quite the amusement, that was.

But hey. Go back to enjoying your Xbox... while it lasts... I'll do the same with my PS3... while it lasts as well.

"I was too busy enjoying my 360 the entire time you were all crying to laugh and make fun."

That is good then... Most of the PS3 users (including stupid fanboys) will go back to whatever games they were playing before.

"Also, not sure what huge cock I was dealt, the PS3 returning to a functioning state after Sony's usual prowess in the realm of programming caused the error in the first place?"

That, coming from a user who pays for hardware with a low quality standard overall. Real genius there. Buying and staying with a brand is not a matter of being offered a great warranty (which let's face it, it IS good), but having a machine that won't break down in such a miserable manner, only to be sent back to get a different one, which may (and most likely will) fail down the line.

"Oh, please, it's too big, you're hurting my anus."

I wouldn't be the one hurting your anus. I don't have (nor want) anything to do with it. And now that I think about it, I made a mistake. The dick in your ass is Microsoft's. Enjoy.

If you mean I'm an anoyed customer, yeah, I am one to a certain extent. I didn't like it when the shit hit the fan and I didn't like the way it "magically" solved itself. Sony should make a patch addressing this issue.

"you may think you're making a good point/being funny, but really you just sound jealous... and butt hurt. either way consoles are gay."

Jealous of what? PCs are only for working in my case. I don't see the need of spending large amounts of money for the latest hardware, when a console can deliver the same experience in some cases, or a better one according to my tastes in many others.

"pc gaming ftw"

Fanboy stance...

And while my current behaviour may seem to be that of a fanboy as well, regarding my dislike of the 360, that only extends to the hardware itself. The games are different. I'm just lucky I can enjoy them without having to drop cash in a drainage for the system.

"And to be clear, I'm not one least bit satisfied with the way things turned out. Sony DID NOT FIX the issue (nor I think they will).

Nah, I was trolling a bit, I should apologize, I'm most of the anonymous posts here, except maybe the tool above me. One of my friends is an avid PS3 fanboy, so my gut reaction to your comment was to lash out.

I'm mainly just trying to make a point that neither company is above board on a lot of issues, and nothing seems to get resolved, just patched up with duct tape until another seam bursts.

By the way, tool:
"Fanboys just get angry because they're jealous that they can't enjoy the benefits of the other consoles."

Sony cares about as much for their customers as Microsoft does... If you ain't throwing green at them then your barely a spec in their rear view mirror.

Bayonetta was well received and I am sure it sold well enough due to that alone. Sony wouldn't sit by watching a game that has buyer potential and let their competitor reap all the sales now would they?

I think everyone is delusional if you think the CEO's of either company and the leaders in their console departments wake up every day with a smile on their face and you on their mind...

false alarm?

just like Y2K!

too bad this never happened for my XBOX -.-;

difference ps3s worked

What he most likely meant was that some PS3s were working properly (not just Slims but also some phats) and even the ones with the issue were able to play some games, although ones with achievements would crash when unlocking an achievement. All in all, still more useable than the Zune, I'd say.

@22:31 02/03/2010

Eh you do know the zunes self fixed also right?

Nope, he obviously doesn't.

I was also one of those Zune people who dealt with that. It was terrible and yeah its not cool for anyone to lose something they paid a lot of money for.

stfu :D

PS3 games are great. the console itself is even greater lawl

all hail sony!!

or at least when they didnt try anything funny liek microsoft

It only fixes it self and come back from the dead like jesus.
Can the 360 do that? O wait they still can't fix that RROD

Dear Anons 23:14 through 00:44 and any registered users whom I have failed to mention,

We regret to inform you that your asses just got trolled. Furthermore, we have determined that you lack a sense of humor and/or sense of sarcasm to determine that said comment was, in fact, intended at best as a joke or, in the worst cases, as an intentionally poor troll.

Sincerely,
Department of Jokes, Trolls, and other Humor; the Internet.

You know there are more than enough great games on the PS3! That joke may have been true in 2006/07, but now it's safe to say that the PS3 even got better exclusives than the 360. So just stfu already scumbag!

right right...

PS3 has no games...that are crap. Fix'd

Really? people still say this?

Much as I love demon souls, 360 has some great stuff too. im@s and dream c club are some examples.

I'm happy that PS3s are fine. I was worried my Rorona would be unusuable.

PS3 has a few good games. Too bad they are all short with no replay value.

UC2, MGS4, Heavy Rain, Infamous.

Only one worth playing over is Demon Soul and honestly that game is way over hyped.

@23:38 02/03/2010

The zunes did it first dude

Xbox fag detected...initiating 3RLoD sequence...hehehe

MGS4 has massive replay value granted you dont cheat, and Demon Souls kicks the asses of all Xbox Games.

That wasn't a "safety mechanism". That was just how EPROM worked. They wanted a way to rewrite it but it had to be done in a way that wouldn't occur normally. Of course, EPROM had lots of issues with the rewriting process so they eventually created EEPROM which used electricity to reset it and things have been far easier since.

not always a biod can be a rom that cant be reriten tho in sum older bios's u needed uv light on the biod when u rerote it as a safty mechinism u wonder y most people leave the bios alone

A hardware clock error can be corrected with a software solution. Most PC OSes will do this automatically if a motherboard's clock isn't accurate.

Besides, there is no such thing as a BIOS clock. The BIOS is a little program held inside a rewritable memory (EEPROM) attached to the MB.
A hardware clock stores data inside another rewritable memory called CMOS and is built from specifically programmed ICs.

PS3 doesn't have a BIOS clock.

@Anon 11:36
You are obviously a wii user, since wii users are very peaceful, since htey dont put up any competition anyways, and they always lose

Xbox has a few good games, just like PS3...
unfortunately Xbox does not always provide a functioning system to play said games on... to my everlasting dismay.

Can we just stop these stupid "ps3 has no games" "xbox RRoDs and has no games" arguments already? They were funny once upon a time... in 2006.

Please stop repeating the same jokes. If we let them any longer, we'll have to start sending them to school.
