The 3 rings of death as people call it. It's simply what the console is designed to do if it has some hardware issue. It's obvious that some consoles will have problems... and it only takes 1 person to have a problem and post it in youtube or the internet. The power of the internet.
Also, let's not forget how fanboys are.
Sony fanboys, if you had the money wouldn't you buy a 360 elite and break it to the point that it makes noices and displays the ring of death just to t...
No, you are not blind. But if you are weak minded and you fell for PR marketting easly you would actually start seing a difference.

What kind of idiot would try selling a console (which as far as game is concern it's the same?). People did learn from trying to sell PS3 on ebay you know. also, I tell you.. you will see lots of XBox 360 on ebays (Premium) now that some people will try to get them replace. Anyways... expect microsoft sell charts to go high in the following months.
LOL.... Do Microsoft make money? Ok, put it this way... All those people that purchased the DS and then later purchase the DS light does that cound as sells? uhhh.... ok.. let me try another one...
To all those people that replace their PS2 more than 2 times because of hardware failure... and then Sony came up with the PS2 thin version and people replaced their fat with the new one... do those count as sells?
What's really keeping Sony alive are cameras + HD TV. My tvs and cameras are both from Sony. Only problem I had with the camera is the flash light popped and I called Sony and they wanted to charge me $180 to replace it. I asked them to send me a replacement ($40) and I did it myself. Sony's very expensive when it comes to getting anything fix. Make you have have extended warranty for stuff that you don't want to have to give your new born for.
YAWN to playing the same game iteration year by year. Fanboys if it's not GT than it's not good? Give this game a chance to be released before making any judgement. "great but the gameplay seems like GT5", "this will have nothing on motorstorm"... 1) GT no damage. 2) Motorstorm arcade and no customization. get the idea?
Note: You will get this game on the PS3... no reason to flame or b!tch about it.
I'm not impressed by these numbers. I guess they don't play that much games in France... these numbers wouldn't make a dent in the overral... we are talking about PS3 27K per month, XBox 360 14K per month... hardly anything to make a party over it.
@Raist - Explain to me what "Sales hardware in France (1st quarter 2007)" and how many months there is in a quarter? Now divide the number of sales for the PS3 during the quater by number of months in a quater.
Define getting a life? Tell us how to get a life. What do you do that makes you feel like you have a life?
Let's see.
Most of us here have jobs... Check!

Many of us Have the money we need to buy the toys we want and pay the bills... Check.
Tell me what do you do that shows that you do have a life and we don'...
For some strange reason I feel as if you were talking about the PS3. The Xbox may be doing bad in Japan, but as far as it seems only the wii counts in Japan. Nintendo owns Japan. At least The 360 rules in America.
I don't think they do... look around... Don't you see how Sony fanboys see it? To them it's perfecly normal. As matter of fact, they love it. and as indicated by some comments they would love to be there. Sony's PR are just marketting their product to their like. And it's working. Where are the animal activist when you need one. I hope this is played in CNN and all major networks. If it's normal and nothing is wrong with it, the general public should join in celebration of goats decapitation....
First that weird movie posted today and now this. Keep it up Sony. You are just doing fine. Sony's PR have to try another drug dealer because those drugs they are using are going to ruin the company more than what they are. What's next? Satanism? Animal sacrifies?
So, that's the reason why the PS3 is not selling as Sony expected. They are trying to market this product to people like the ones that appear on this video.
1) A guy that masturbates in from of a TV while watching a soccer game.
2) A drug dealer.
3) Some guy with post dramatic stress disorder and dreams about killing people.
4) A girls that uses drugs.
5) Prostitutes at a local motel.
6) Homosexuals (Or the same guy hugging another man after masturbat...
They stated their reasons, "Calling All Cars! has the makings of a fun and exciting multiplayer game, but it feels more like a demo than a full game. With at least double the number of maps, weapons, and cars, this would be worth checking out. As it is now, there's just not enough content to justify spending $10 on this game." Are you saying that it's not true? That this game has plenty of maps, weapons and cars?
We can all agree we are sick of WW2 games... but COD3 was not a bad game. Well, at least online multiplayer on xbox live (Game Invites, voice chat, etc). I am glad that they will be moving away from WW2, but the game was not as bad.
It's paintful isn't? People can't deal with the fact that microsoft is profitable. LOL. Now, we are seing a bunch of articles questioning that fact... I heard of companies ilegally lowering their earning to give less to investors... but exagerating it? LOL.
Converter? Do you people actually think that the performance will be the same? Emulation <> the real thing. Save yourself the trouble and get vista.
If what sony is saying is true (PS3 will last 10 years)... I wonder how accurate they can estimate the kind of harware that will be available during that time + what people will be interested on.
"Yes, there are alternatives, but they're not convenient (yet), so most people have no choice but to have Vista shoved in their faces" ahaha.. That's interesting. Vista sucks but, "there are alternatives, but they're not convenient " which means they suck more!? So people are forced (gun on the head) to buy vista. Now tell me who is forcing who? Do you need a permit to buy a mac, linux or unix box? I wonder who's focing who? If Linux or Mac would be more convenient for emp...
You are a funny character. 10 Mil consoles in a year does not sound that bad. How many consoles you think Sony will sell in 1 year at the rate they are going? How long has the PS3 being out? How many they sold and how many they are selling?
wow, Loot Ninja is on a mission today to try to take the xbox 360 down!
By the way... is it as bad as PS3 sells? people were saying the samething about the PS3.
