the arrogance of Microsoft man. Apple dropped the PowerPC platform because they needed to WATER COOL the systems to keep things running smoothly. What does Microsoft do? Release a console with the same platform with poor airflow and inadequate coolingI must have had atleast 3 separate units for every configuration of the 360 that was made.
What a shoddily made system.
That is my favorite design of the PS3. I wish they released a truly BC model and that would be the one I still have. I know some prefer the look of the phat model, but that behemoth is a dust magnet and loud as shyt.I never upgraded. I bought my 360 and sold it years later and bought a used one again for Gears 3.
PS3 Slim was my first entry into PS3.
Actually my brother had a Fat PS3 so I used it as a modded PS3 for a while. shyt was overheating and loud as fukk. I tried fixing it but couldn't. I think it was beyond repair at one point. The Slim I had worked perfectly for years. I sold it in 2014, had it since 2010 and had zero issues. Even flashed it with CFW for a while before being FORCED to play online and upgrading.That is my favorite design of the PS3.

Yeah they got it under control after several revisions (die shrink etc).Didn't they try and fix it in the later models? I remember around the time they were creating the smaller 360's they had that extended ass warranty for any 360 you had that red ringed they would replace with refurbished units at no cost.
fukking must have shipped 360 units to America my damned self. I've lost count of how many different iterations of this shyt craped out on me to even note which configuration it was.
Yeah the XB1 really looks like a bigger X360 Elite.Bought both the slims for PS3 and 360. The two best models during their lifecycle imo. The superslim PS3 looks like shyt with the top loader and not a fan of the XB1 looking 360.
