I'd love to get my hands on a blood red PS3.

THWIP6172d ago

...as that's the color Sony is seeing in their financial reports. ;)

beast6172d ago

And sure the rings of death problem is FIXED yeah sure ..i mean it really...

sandip7876171d ago

well, you and many other fanboys have 2 red rings. the red ring on your console, and the red ring microsoft gave you for buying their console!!!

Shadow Flare6172d ago (Edited 6172d ago )

the red and white ps3's look so good

[edit] THWIP

thats hilarious John Merrick. Coincidently red also suits the 360 really well since thats what colour 9/10 customers see on their 360's ring

THWIP6172d ago

Yeah, whatever. We both know if it was anywhere near even HALF, there'd already be a government investigation underway, as well as a multi-billion $$ class-action lawsuit. With the redesign, the "red ring" will soon be a thing of the past anyway, so it's a dead issue.

And for the record, my launch 360 is still working flawless, quiet, and cool as a cucumber. A meager $10 investment in 2 quality external fans (originally used with my old XBOX), for active airflow (necessary for my setup, since the 360 is inside an enclosure), is all it takes. ;)

Kleptic6172d ago (Edited 6172d ago )

a thing of the past?...and that doesn't anger you, an obvious 360 owner, at all?

So what about the 10 million plus 360s out right now, one of which you own? When MS starts rolling out "fixed" redesigned 360s...and does nothing to help the current base (which will still keep popping), you think they are going to help them out after warranty expirations? They sure don't now...why would they change...

Its really funny how when this issue gets brought up (which you completely walked right into...it is your fault this is even being discussed in a thread that has nothing to do with it), most 360 owners act like its no big deal, and point out that MS is doing their best to prevent this for FUTURE OWNERS...they have not once admitted to it being an issue, and have all kinds of customer support problems going on with current owners...

They keep crapping right in your mouth...and even when a little crap rolls off your chin and onto the floor...you guys scoop it right up...eat it, to make sure you didn't miss any crap consumption...Then come into the discussions not at all related to your system and vomit the crap onto us...We didn't eat it in the first place...keep it away from us...

Don't be takin' my bubbles either people (or please someone give me them back)...the day I go into the 360 section and make stupid posts to make little digs...take my bubbles so I can't post as much...but I am hardly a fanboy by simply calling out ignorant posts by ignorant people...in a relevant section...

BBsin6172d ago

that must mean theres an invisible xbox360 somewhere since it's still non existent in japan even with all that effort and with MS still not making a penny worth of profit through their whole console venture. otherthan that sony's financial status fine.... the camcorder,movie, and tv sales stabilizes the losses through the PS3. The stock prices has risen more than 10 percent since the ps3's launch. shows how much you know.....

JUSTaGAME6172d ago

Developers must not think the Xbox360 hardware failure is a big issue, because they keep jumping from the SONY ship and right into the Microsoft life raft! LOL

fenderputty6172d ago

bash the PS3 for having to buy an HDMI cable yet the 360 owners have to buy a fan to keep it from breaking.

BBsin6172d ago

JustaGame. last I checked most developers still develop games for the Ps3. Most games happen to be multiplatform, you talk as if Ps3 owners are not getting the games at all. And the developers can careless about rings of death. As long as the MS fanboys are stupid enough to buy 2-3 systems to replace their first system. they won't care. If my 360 ever pulls a ring of death on me, I'm not getting another till it's less than $250. Why are you fanboys in here anyways?. this topic has nothing to do with the 360 but some idiot fanboy trolls in (as usual) and posts a false smartass joke. this topic changed from "red ps3" to flamewar. seriously get a life fanboys and stop obsessing with the ps3. If the 360 is as good as you say it is then you should be playing it, instead of talking sh!t about a red colored Ps3.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1822d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie2d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 19h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow1d 5h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney23h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno2d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno2d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii2d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno1d 23h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
