Last-Gen Console Discussions (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii)

Nintendo's problem wasnt the lack of hardcore titles, which Zelda and Mario were made for hardcore gamers, but the lack of titles in general.

They're able to find them that easily?

We've never had any supply problems with any hardware, you can walk in and buy one off the shelf. I should take a photo and rub it in. 😂

Don't worry, I still don't have one either. I got all pissed the other day when I was at work and walked into the back room and we actually had some because I didn't have enough money that I could actually spend.

Im still thinking about games, its the only thing holding me back...Twilight Princess, Super Smash, Red Steel seem wicked, but so do GTA4, Assassin's Creed, Killzone 2.....so many games...not enough money weep

I will eventually have a Wii, but only after all of the 360s AAA games are out.

Well maybe before since a host of them have been delayed to next year. Normally I would throw a fit over delays...but I thank god for them this year.

damn

thats lookin niiiiiiice

and maybe im crazy, but did anybody else hear anything about the DK barrel blast racing game?

first i heard of it was just now when i looked at the site

Yeah, it's taking a long time to come out for a port, it was supposed to come out for gamecube. The last tidbit I can think of was about the controls, although I can't remember what it was, but it wasn't about bongos. I think you used the nunchuck and wii-mote as drum sticks instead.

Do next gen consoles have wireless connections for online, or do you have to have a physical connection?

Wii and PS3 are built-in wireless, if I remember correctly.

you do

Latest Worldwide Sales Figures:

Xbox 360: 11,060,000 = 44%
PS3: 4,225,000 = 17%
Wii: 10,000,000 = 40%

These figures are rounded off.

go wii 😄

SO the other day I was connecting another controller to my Xbox360 but wasn't sure if I had done it properly b/c I thought when you connected a second controller, the second bar position was supposed to light up on the console and remote but the first player bar lighted up.

So I was confused. I had to go so I stopped and came back to it the next day.

So I go to turn my console on by pressing the button on my original first person controller and the controller button just blinked on and off back and forth and the console wouldn't turn on so I thought I'd have to reconnect it b/c the second controller had took it's place. So I tried to reconnect it to the console.

While trying to connect all of a sudden I get this orange light around my console power button.

Now I know about the Red Ring of Death but I'm not sure if it was a complete ring or not, so an error message came up on the screen and I turned the console off.

I then press the power button on my first controller again and waited a little longer while the controller blinked and the console turned on and everything was okay and I even played a game on it the same day.

So I'm wondering if what I got was really the Red Ring of Death and if the system malfunctioned b/c I was trying to connect a controller to the console when it was already connected while I was thinking I had accidentally disconnected when connecting my second new controller.

What I realize now, and didn't before, is that whichever controller you turn on first takes the first player position bar and whichever one you turn on afterwards takes the second position.

I was under the assumption that no matter which order you turned them on, the first controller that came with your console would always take the first player position and the second controller I purchased would always take the second player position.
Ex: I turn on my second controller first and it would take the second bar position instead of taking the first bar position.

So yeah.

So did I cause the system malfunction by trying to connect a controller that was already connected or did something else cause this and it just so happened to occur while I was doing all of this and does this mean that my console will definitely succumb to the Red Ring of Death in the future?

Anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

You can still play the 360 right?

If so, then dont worry about it. If it happens than it happens.

wow ive been away a long time... I just got myself a Wii 😄

hey ive been offered a low paying job at gamestop...should i take it?

It's a fun job that's not hard, really.

I think you got the Ring of Death, because it's not a full circle, like a ring.

And you will probably get it in the future. That's what happened to mine. It worked for a little longer than it was done. If you don't have a warrenty then you're f*cked.

If it happens again just send it in to MS, they'll fix it/send you a new one for free.
