NXE Countering Jasper's Benefits?

Split-Screen writes: "Microsoft's new Jasper chipset appears to address the burgeoning Red Ring of Death woes. But with the New Xbox Experience only compounding these problems in the older systems, you really have to question whether Microsoft's long over-due fixes with Jasper won't be hampered by the same. Especially since NXE glitches, like the RRoD and overheating, are yet to be amended."

so why make an article about it?

Oner5628d ago

Uh well maybe because it IS unconfirmed, yet people have been saying it does without question...remember the last 2 hardware revisions where ALSO supposed to "fix" the issue. As the saying goes

"He that deceives me once, shame fall him; if he deceives me twice, shame fall me."

DNAgent5627d ago

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

Bnet3435627d ago

There's another saying that goes "Whoever smelt it, dealth it"

chaosatom5627d ago (Edited 5627d ago )

When all the good exclusive games have passed.

Since I own a Ps3, there is even less of a chance for me to buy an xbox next year, because of Multiplatform games, and better exclusives by next year.

PoSTedUP5627d ago

the 360 will have to wait until its proven to be fixed AND after i buy my HDTV and surround sound and my logitec steering wheel for granturismo plus all the games coming out and by then gears2 will be announced for PC so i will be better off buying a better graphics card for my comp. ya know. i see no use for the 360.

SCThor5627d ago

Buy a PC good enough to play those games not available on PS3. It will cost you around $400 and it will last, no fear of hardware failure.

We don't know it "neutralizes", but Jasper certainly is going to decease the faulty hardware percentage. There's noway Microsoft would make the hardware worst because they already suffered the consequence and are still suffering. Therefore this article is still valid you newb.

trancefreak5627d ago

Jasper looks very promising! I will wait till i know for sure its a jasper in the box that I am purchasing before i get another 360.

Bathyj5627d ago

How do you know they cant make it worse? Its pretty obvious they dont know how to make it right. They're just guessing at this stage.

buy a ps35627d ago

MS has lied to many times before (about the RROD). don't trust them. they are business men over at MS you pathetic self means nothing to them. so please don't fall for their tricks and lies.

Kleptic5627d ago

MS 100% admitted that the RRoD issues are a moving target...and that not one box revision is going to fix them entirely...

the 'jasper' will not fix it completely...all they have been doing over the past 2 years is reducing that ridiculously high failure rate...the jasper will be the most reliable 360 to date most likely...will be it considered a reliable electronic though?...no...end_fact.exe

Darkseider5627d ago

Hmmm...

Windows 98SE --> Windows ME

Windows XP Pro --> Windows Vista

Office 2003 --> Office 2007

There are three quick examples of making it worse. Please NEVER underestimate the stupidity of the folks in Redmond.

lawgone5627d ago

Thanks for wasting our time with your unbiased comment "buy a PS3". By the way, Sony is a corporation too. Save up some money and you can buy both consoles and you won't have to be a fanboy anymore. If you can't, then please go to the open section.

can someone please PM me on these issues. I will look them up for now. I did not know that there were NXE glitches.

ElementX5627d ago (Edited 5627d ago )

I haven't had any issues. I love NXE. It's really easy to read and navigate. I wish the XMB on PS3 was as easy to read. The txt is too small!

*EDIT*
The only issue I have with XMB is the font size.

mrdxpr25627d ago

U are funny XMB is alot easier to use then NXE the NXE looks good but ms keeps making there menu hard to use...

No Way5627d ago

Uhm, I don't think the NXE is hard to use? o.O
But, that's just me, I guess..

Sure, it's a little difficult, or tricky.. shall I say, to find some stuff.
But, hard to use? Nawh.

Karum5627d ago

Font size is fine on my 40" LCD as far as the XMB is concerned.

What I do find a little small is the text when I am typing out a message to someone on my friendlist.

Dark_Overlord5627d ago

You do know that you can alter the font on the xmb?

My god can we stop with this non-sense. I am too busy playing WAW, GeOW2, Fable 2, L4D, and all of my 40 plus games on my x360 to worry about this BS. My x360 is going on 2 1/2 years and runs like butter. Can we post more interesting articles like when will Ps3 GT5 be released. Well, back to L4D and Gears.

If you are too busy playing all those games, WHY THE F#CK ARE YOU POSTING ON N4G? on the GT5 note, X-mas, 09.

on topic, sure hope the new jasper will work.

ultimolu5627d ago

Love how some 360 fans brag about their many, MANY games and yet they find time to post here on N4G. xD

pathetic fanboys5627d ago

what like all the ps3 fanboy/fangirls do??

08 the year of teh ps3! it haz all teh gamez this year, teh grafix, teh on-line. teh beztz exclusives!!111 in teh history of gaming.

yet n4g is full to the brim with sony lovers that troll every 360 thread, and hype everything that has sony in the title!

please, think before you post stupid comments. i know n4g is an unofficial sony site, with fanboys and pathetic fanboy admin. but everyone knows the claims that are made on here by them concerning teh gamez, yet they never seem to be playing them???

strange that!

ultimolu5627d ago

Oh, I play games hun. Eleven games and counting.

My comment wasn't even stupid to begin with. You should be against all fanboys, not just Sony fanboys.

But nice rebuttal.

Halo 4 UNSC Weapons, Vehicles, And Mechs

We've previously seen what we can take off the Prometheans, but what will Master Chief's backup be bringing to the fight in Halo 4?
Quite a lot of old favorites, as well as some new vehicles and an old enemy.

2012: COD Black Ops 2, A New Xbox & More

You mean 'Activision Presents: Man With Gun 2012, Starring Denzel Washington'.

Also, the new Xbox will be called the Ybox. You heard it here first.

jimmins4534d ago

More like Activision presents: one long cut-scene in which 'press X for controversial torture' comes up intermittently.

Biglet4534d ago

I expect Reservoir Dogs next time.

Skip_Bayless4534d ago

This is about Mass Effect 3. I always liked the series for its technical side and the dialogue trees. I never really liked the setting, the story, or the characters.

Other than the snow level in Mass Effect 1 and Wrex there's no memorable things really. Mass Effect 3 is going to be out on maxed out consoles so no technical or graphical leap there. Count me out on this game.

This being said Mass Effect 1 is a top 10 game this generation.

_Aarix_4534d ago

if that were true the xbox 360 would be Y box and the next generation xbox would be Z box.

DaveX3604534d ago

But what would the one after that be called?

irepbtown4534d ago

They probably think the world will end after that.
I mean, Lynx have made a 'end of the world'edition deodorant.

When we are here 2013 all and well, i'll be playing some GTA V.

joab7774534d ago (Edited 4534d ago )

They should go straight for inox or soon there will only b one console that's more powerful than any PC and it will b made by apple. It will incorporate everything apple and they will rule the world. So its better to simply release the Ibox and prevent future world domination.

As far as cod and black ops r concerned, it will sell 10 million copies on day 1, 8 million paid for by r government as unemployment will b 14%. There wont b a new console in 2012 because activision says so. They aren't done yet and until they r forced to use some ingenuity, expect the status quo. Why invest more $ right now if ppl will fork over their last penny to u for a rehash. So, as cod goes, so goes consoles and PC's as they will b held back.

Star wars will release and sell many copies just like battlefield did, but everyone will return to wow because activision obviously has the best games and the most talented warlocks casting spells on their products. Ppl wont know why but swtor just wont feel right. Everyone will say that its a better game and its fresh and many hardcore players will b converted but the masses will nitpick things like hotkeys and menu animations to declare wow as the enduring king of mmorpgs...and then the next expansion will release and swtor will go free to play.

On November 3rd we will wake to see if we get 4 more years of misery or a Republican (what a choice...no hope or maybe some actual hope with alot of immediate suffering). But to r surprise, we will c that Bobby kotick is president and EA is under federal investigation. And then 7 days later...the cod cycle begins again.

funny article
all i read was the first part where it says

1.January 2012
Industry analyst Michael Pachter says that another Call Of Duty game will be announced this year and that it will sell “lots of copies”. He also states with unsual specificity that an asteroid 100Km wide at its thickest point will veer from its predicted trajectory and on 12 December at 0043:29, it will smash into the South Pacific Ocean near Easter Island and cause the extinction of nearly all species on Earth, including 98% of the human population.

i was like what?

caseh4534d ago

Personally I like Pachter's CoD predictions, its the only f*cking thing he seems to get right. :D

CarlosX3604533d ago

Um. I'm like "Doh!" Of course they'll make a new call of duty game next year. It's already codenamed Iron Wolf.

Berserk4534d ago

Man imagine the sales... New xbox bundled with Black ops 2.

DARK WITNESS4534d ago (Edited 4534d ago )

We already got Black ops 2, it's MW3.. oh wait no, sorry.

To be honest though, my pet parrot Baba could have predicted that.

ZippyZapper4534d ago

Doesn't Black Ops take place during Vietnam? That isn't exactly what I would call modern warefare since it's 40 years old.

DARK WITNESS4534d ago

@ ZippyZapper

lol, I think you are taking my comment to seriously.

CarlosX3604533d ago (Edited 4533d ago )

I don't believe the next Call of Duty game will be called "Black Ops 2." Treyarch has a habit of changing names with their games.

World At War and Black Ops are different names. Iron Wolf may be a code name, but I believe the next game in the series will be different.

Aloren4533d ago

World at War didn't sell like black ops did. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to capitalize on the "Black ops" name.

I wonder how long they can keep this up.

SnipeySnake4534d ago

Till people start using their brains....

IaMs124534d ago

Well, we'll be seeing a lot more COD then....

AmaZinG4534d ago

Actually Black Ops had more innovation than Mw3, altough i like Mw series gameplay, maps and guns better i have to admit when it comes to innnovation Treyarch is winning the fight over IW. The emblems customization, the weapons customization and alot more were awesome additions to Cod that IW didnt put in Mw3... I wonder why

Dailynch4534d ago

Black Ops' campaign really wasn't that good. The original Modern Warfare is still the best, by far.

PetitPiPi4534d ago

MW3's campaign kills the original MW. Have you played it? Probably not. smh.

Majin-vegeta4534d ago

@petitpipi

No it doesn't MW3 story is a joke cod4 story is still by far the best MW story.

lsujester4534d ago

MW3's campaign doesn't kill anything, unless you bought the game for SP, then you probably killed yourself.

PetitPiPi4534d ago (Edited 4534d ago )

@ Isujester

I bought the game for SP, MP & Spec Ops. Why else would I buy the game? What a stupid comment on your part.

@ Vag

MW3's story is a joke? And you call yourself a gamer? lmao! PLEASE send me over your GT or PSN id. I need to see the games you've played.

jdfoster4534d ago

I agree 100%. Though arn't you sick of buying a game with no new modes in at all (multiplayer wise) BLOPS had no new game modes in competitive multiplayer and mw3 only had 3 new ones!! But I agree with the innovation side and I enjoy the maps more in IW games but I do hate the maps in MW3! I do... i try and enjoy them but I can't. I liked the crisp, clean look of cod 4 and mw2 maps to the look and feel of mw3. I also loved every map in cod 5! But hated every map in BLOPS!

DARK WITNESS4534d ago

I am not really defending Blops of poo, I hate the game, but I am sure it had 1 or 2 new game modes.

You had the one were you start with a single weapon and every time you kill someone it would randomly change to something else.. or something like that.

I took blops back to the shop after about 4 weeks or so, so thats why I can hardly remember it but I know it had one or two new modes.

Grendizer4533d ago

cod4:MW has been,currently is, and will probably always be my favorite cod game

even to this day i go on and play it every now and then.
