Red Ring of Death anyone? code of death   -- Posted by LudovicoTechnique at 2:34 pm on July 4, 2008 I think it bricked maybe 3% of the PS3s that d/led it. Compare that to the steady 33% failure rate of Xbox 360s that hasn't dropped since launch. -- Posted by King Kong at 2:36 pm on July 4, 2008 Quote: from TheFortunate at 10:34 pm on July 4, 2008 I think it bricked maybe 3% of the PS3s that d/led it.

You're right, the RRoD shouldn't be brought up, unless of course a PS3 hater is bring up the 2.40 glitch as worse than said RRoD, which it isn't. -- Posted by King Kong at 2:54 pm on July 4, 2008 Quote: from BrokenBelief at 10:47 pm on July 4, 2008 Quote: from King kong at 2:42 pm on July 4, 2008 Quote: from BrokenBelief at 10:41 pm on July 4, 2008 Quote: from King kong at 2:36 pm on July 4, 2008 Quote: from TheFortunate at 10:34 pm on July 4, 2008 I think it bricked maybe 3% of the PS3s that d/led it.

All consoles have problems, don't judge them because of those problems -- Posted by Link01 at 8:22 am on July 5, 2008 that why i wait few days before i download the firmware so i can know what it does and any faults in it -- Posted by Ju5tin at 2:49 pm on July 5, 2008 Whoa, that sucks. Looks like the PS3 wasn't the problem-free console everyone thought it was, yes? -- Posted by Trastie at 4:10 pm on July 5, 2008 Quote: from Ju5tin at 3:49 pm on July 5, 2008 Whoa, that sucks. Looks like the PS3 wasn't the problem-free console everyone thought it was, yes? Who thought that? Also I fail to see how a fucked up update has any bearing on the ps3 being a problem-free console, but that's just me. 360 updates have bricked systems as well. -- Posted by Ju5tin at 4:31 pm on July 5, 2008 I don't know, just some rabid fanboys who think the PS3 is the greatest console ever. Some of them just think that because their console doesn't get the RRoD or it doesn't overheat or whatever makes it 100% bug-free. >_< -- Posted by theAnomie at 12:16 am on July 6, 2008 That's unlucky, the definitive update destroying systems. -- Posted by imakethetest66 at 4:09 am on July 7, 2008 I got the update and it's still working perfect. I love in-game xmb. :) -- Posted by theAnomie at 5:16 am on July 7, 2008 I'm borrowing my friend's PS3 to play MGS4, saves me spending about £400. I can't believe you actually have to leave games to send messages. Shame he handed it to me a little too late to get the xmb for his console. -- Posted by imakethetest66 at 9:35 pm on July 7, 2008 Quote: from quietboy at 8:16 am on July 7, 2008 I'm borrowing my friend's PS3 to play MGS4, saves me spending about £400.

The updat was just taken down temporary. A lot of people still have the update that was taken down, which is working, but some people couldn't download it, so they took it down...and so on. I just repeated myself like 3 times, but I'm too tired to give a fuck.   -- Posted by theAnomie at 12:09 pm on July 8, 2008 Quote: from imakethetest66 at 5:35 am on July 8, 2008 Quote: from quietboy at 8:16 am on July 7, 2008 I'm borrowing my friend's PS3 to play MGS4, saves me spending about £400.

I just completed MGS4 so I'm gonna hand the PS3 back to him tomorrow, he doesn't have the internet. -- Posted by hivemind at 1:41 pm on July 8, 2008 Quote: from BrokenBelief at 10:32 pm on July 4, 2008 Why is this so amazingly funny?

Red Ring of Death anyone? he does have a point...however it is funny when friends who own ps3 have being sayings that the ps3 is flawless, now its bein proven it isnt lol -- Posted by mond alor at 2:17 pm on July 8, 2008 well its a good thing i cant update it till i get home in september so the bug should be fixed.  now i couldnt red the link since its blocked but im guessing it has something to do with the stupid in game messaging shit -- Posted by Decadence at 4:22 pm on July 8, 2008 Firmware 2.41 is out. Fixes the issues. Oh, and, 'Ring of Death'. And, gimmick. Stop hyping. -- Posted by Daveh at 5:41 pm on July 8, 2008 I had no problems downloading or installing it. in fact. I've had no problems with the firmware update at all. I did however download yet another firmware update the very next day. 2.41. i assume they fixed it with that. but, i wouldn't kow. -- Posted by King Kong at 1:07 am on July 9, 2008 Quote: from Decadence at 12:22 am on July 9, 2008 Firmware 2.41 is out.

The "Code of death" is much rarer than the "Red ring of death". and i think it only exist on the orginal 80gig PS3 models. -- Posted by King Kong at 12:16 am on July 10, 2008 Quote: from daveh at 12:44 am on July 10, 2008 Quote: from King kong at 1:07 am on July 9, 2008 Quote: from Decadence at 12:22 am on July 9, 2008 Firmware 2.41 is out.

The "Code of death" is much rarer than the "Red ring of death". and i think it only exist on the orginal 80gig PS3 models. we don't hear about it, as sony delites topic about it in it own forum   the only reason rrod sems like a problem is because of the internet. microsoft have also fixed the problem. the code of death is when the lens burns. so it's on all ps3
