Maybe 46% of real men don't want to play video games or only play PC games? Why is it Wii if it's not XBONE or PS4?Quote:

I'm sure a lot of that 46% simply doesn't play games at all, and if they do, it's on PC or smartphones. I can't imagine a whole lot of manly men being interested in Nintendo products. Quite frankly, I'm a little surprised that a combined 54% of people they polled even want a next gen console. Seems high to me.

Good. I could fry an egg on the back of my PS3.Quote:

Not a surprise and it should as well. Technology is better and smaller in size.Quote:

Is the YLOD due to overheating?Quote:

Yes, YLOD is a direct result of the system overheating. It was mainly a problem with the fat models. The slim and later super slim I've rarely heard anything regarding overheating problems.Quote:

Yeah that was on my fat. My slim had the blu ray go out. Never overheated, it just gets damn hot on the back of the system.Quote:

I only play/played games on mine.
Ever since the PS played DVD's I never used it for it's other purpose. When I get a PS4 I'll use the PS3 for blu-ray maybe. I order most of my movies on DTV
Sony is very, very good at keeping all this stuff quiet. I've had 3 go out - all bluray drives. In all 3 of my cases, I was playing a game, the game froze and I had to reset the PS3. When it booted back up, the disc wont show up on the XMB and you can't play it. Virtually all of my friends have had this happen, too. Hell, one of them never got his replaced. He just buys games digitally off the store. :DQuote:

Heat is bad, mmkay....
Hell, I still have my PS2 slim to use to play the old PS1 and PS2 Final Fantasies. My fat PS2 eventually had its drive go bad, and therefore had to replace it with the PS2 slim, but the slim is still chugging along all these years later.Quote:

Considering all 3 of the bluray drive breakdowns were within a week of the warranty having expired, I've always kind of had this in the back of my mind. One of the ones I have now is around 3 years old, though, so it appears I've finally gotten a good one. I also have a super slim as a backup.Quote:

Still not a fan. Hopefully you can use custom backgrounds, which would make it a lot better. That screen with the chat is especially nauseating. Bright pink, green, and blue backgrounds with white text? http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...basic/puke.gif
