Yes, it's the weekend and yes the PSN is still down. Sony went from May 3or 4 to not giving a set date. But that's okay with me. I want it back, but I also want it fixed properly. So in the time being, why not reminisce about other problems of the seventh generation of consoles?
Remember that weird Leap Year bug of last year? It's was only if you had a fat PS3 and I had one at the time. I remember hearing that we shouldn't even turn the thing on all day. It wasn't so bad and it only lasted a day or so. It was more strange then anything, really.
Then there was the great "Wii remote breaks everything" situation in 2006 and 2007. Wii remotes were slipping out of sweaty gamers' hands at an alarming rate. It took Nintendo a year to start shipping silicone gloves for the remotes.
The worst, I think, is the Xbox 360's RROD. I'm not exaggerating when I say everyone I know had to ship a console back for the Red Ring at on time or another.
I guess this is the price we pay for the latest console tech. Every system has its flaws and failures, but I'm still happy to call myself an owner of each one.
Other console problems and more details
love it! :)

ReplyDeleteI was lucky that by the time I got my Wii, the silicone covers were already available!
