That's one way to do it, take out the red lights.

i hate the fact they're taking out MU support. After charging through the nose for what was the only way to store files you wanted to move (saves and the like, I know there was already USB support for music and shit) for most of the life of the console so far, it's kind of irritating that they're now making them completely obsolete.

On the other hand, I no longer use my MU anyway, so it's more annoying than in any way disruptive.

but hey, no RRoD.

Don't understand taking away the red lights, as they had a legit purpose.

PS3 has yellow.
Wii has red (I think)

Now the 360 has nothing to differentiate between "fucked up" and "just fine"? Only real reason is so people can't call it the RRoD anymore because it's bad for PR or whatever.

Unless of course they just put the light somewhere else so we could have a new name

That ring of light was apparently expensive initially, dunno if they saved cost getting rid of the red light.

You'll be able to tell it's fucked up, it won't turn on

Ohh pfft, it was more complicated than that

For certain errors certain quadrants would light up red or whatever. Not sure exactly how it works, only problems I had with my 360 were the time I accidentally knocked the AV cables out and the lights came on and when it died. And even then, no lights or anything. Turned on, but everything was fucked up and games would play for like a minute before turning green and freezing

On the other hand, I once left my PS3 on for 3 days on accident, and not only did I not even notice, it wasn't even warm when I found out

How the Hell was it not even warm? You can fry an egg on my PS3, even when it's idle. I mean, it handles heat better than the 360, no doubt, considering the YLOD happens less than half as often, but Jesus, it only does everything...Including serving as a hot plate.

yeah i call bullshit as a 360 and PS3 owner. The PS3 runs hot after about 6-8 hours, let along 70+.

You can call bullshit all you want but it was perfectly fine. Not saying it was ice cold, but it wasn't what I'd call warm either.

Only about twice ever since I've gotten the thing has it gotten hot. Dunno if it has to do with the model or what, but I'm not being some lying ass fanboy here

This is why I have mine set to shut off with inactivity. Well, that and for some reason, my remote turns it on reliably but not off. It's not hard to get up off my fat arse and turn it off manually, but remembering to is another story.

yeah the PS3 turns on waaay too easy. I have it set (and the 360) to shut off after a few hours of idle, especially the PS3 because i dont even pay attention to the color of the little light.

That's how mine ended up on for a few days, I remember the cats running over it and hearing it beep on and then thinking "I'll turn it off in a minute", but then I forgot. And due to the way I had everything set up (everything on this big coffee table in the living room, TV on the front half, PS3/360/Wii behind the TV) I just didn't notice it until I tried to turn it on a few days later

I have left my PS2 on for a couple days and the thing was scorching hot.

I cant imagine a PS3 would be any different.

I had a fan going the whole time as well, the system was still hot as fuck.

Sidenote, I went to a friends house unexpectedly for the weekend and didnt shut it off. It was the middle of summer as well.

lol, come on guy, you can't be serious.

I never said this was typical of all PS3s, I simply said on this occasion, freak occurrence or not, it wasn't hot. But still, of all the times I've had it on for 6-8 hours, only a couple times has it gotten warm.

But I really dunno, may have just got the freak of the bunch. It's one of the original 60GB models and I've never had any kind of problem. Had it for about 3 1/2 years

I never said this was typical of all PS3s, I simply said on this occasion, freak occurrence or not, it wasn't hot. But still, of all the times I've had it on for 6-8 hours, only a couple times has it gotten warm.

But I really dunno, may have just got the freak of the bunch. It's one of the original 60GB models and I've never had any kind of problem. Had it for about 3 1/2 years
The earlier models run hotter, if anything.

For certain errors certain quadrants would light up red or whatever.

Turned on, but everything was fucked up and games would play for like a minute before turning green and freezing

On the other hand, I once left my PS3 on for 3 days on accident, and not only did I not even notice, it wasn't even warm when I found out

http://www.xbox360repair.ca/2redlighterror.html
http://www.xbox360repair.ca/redringofdeath7.html

Don't worry about all the repair crap, just know that it has the meanings of 1-3 lights.

Again don't worry about the repair crap, just read up on the meaning.

FS was pretty much just affirming that the four lights served as error codes.

They're kind of a simplistic diagnostic.

Yeah, I remember googling error codes early on, and it was a bitch to get detailed info.

OK, maybe they have done something useful about the RRoD.

New box tear-down. And it looks to be a pain in the ass to disassemble, too.

Interesting read. Am seriously tempted to get this, found out I can get it half price if I trade in my older version.

Pre-ordered mine the other day, seems like a good move really, especially when I can get it for half price.

Right, shops near me are doing a deal where you get it half price if you trade in your 360 elite.
Is there any way I can put the save data onto a USB device and then transfer it to the new one? Without using a data transfer kit, as the 360 and hard drive will be gone before I have the new one.

You can stick the saves etc on a USB stick and move it that way, or Game are going to be hiring out transfer kits for people to use if they need them, thats what they are doing round my way anyway.
