PS3 and xbox360 are so difficult to choose.

X360 heard that it's easy to get three reds, so it's recommended to start with ps3, which can play cracking games. Online shopping 1TB hard disk only has more than 400 games, which is very cost-effective, and the effect is definitely better than x360. See why.

(PS:20 10 10 Starting from 10, the old brand-new 360 in the Mainland began to be out of stock. As of February 20 1 1 year, the new version of 360 has not been cracked. The new version of August 360 of 20 1 1 has been cracked. There are two ways to crack, but both are hardware cracking. One is to punch holes in the motherboard, and the other is to change the optical drive, in which the cost of changing the optical drive is higher. It takes about 200-400 yuan to crack it. You can choose the cracked version and the non-cracked version when purchasing. The former is more expensive than the latter about 200 yuan. )

Edit this paragraph of fault analysis.

After Microsoft launched Xbox360, many users complained to Microsoft that the game console often failed to varying degrees, and the probability was high. Someone investigated xbox360.

The results show that the early version of Xbox360 has a repair rate as high as 68%, while the recent report points out that the failure rate is still 33%, while the failure rate of competitors Wii and PlayStation3 is lower than 1%. If the average life span of human beings is 80 years, Wii and PS3 are like normal people living to 75 years old, while Xbox360 is like a child who will die before he lives to 10 years old. Microsoft can only be forced to extend the warranty period of three red faults of the game console from one year to three years, but other faults are still within the one-year warranty period. Microsoft once claimed that it would improve the manufacturing process in the newly released host version, but it was obvious that the failure problem was not solved at all. Three red and three red lights warn users in the United States and Europe to call it RROD〖 [Red Ring of Death] (players in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan call it "Three Red" or "Red Ring of Death"), which means that when Xbox360 is abnormal, four indicators around the power button will flash red. Although users often have this problem, Microsoft has not officially disclosed the real reason for the three reds. Even if the user changes the game console to Microsoft many times, this problem will reappear every once in a while; Players have made many repairs to this, and the problem still cannot be solved. People think there are several reasons for the three red lights: overheating. When the host computer is running, the graphics processor inside the host computer radiates a lot of heat, and the rotation speed of the cooling fan can no longer extract all the hot air, which leads to the expansion and deformation of the motherboard exposed to high temperature. Once the motherboard is deformed, the welding of CPU processor and GPU graphics processor is separated from the motherboard, resulting in the abnormal operation of the host, which leads to the emergence of three red light warnings. Some people think that the reason why the graphics processor is separated from the motherboard is that there is a gap in the welding of the processor during manufacturing, which leads to a large amount of gas flowing into the gap, which reduces the melting point of the solder joint and leads to the separation of the processor. High temperature will also bring metal fatigue cracks, and the cooling fan will run at full speed for a long time, resulting in huge noise. Inferior Sockets Microsoft employees privately explained the three red light warnings because players used inferior surge protection sockets when using Xbox360 consoles. Because the original components of Xbox360 are very sensitive to the change of current, and the change of current will weaken the working ability of the cooling fan and optical drive in Xbox360, which will lead to the appearance of three red phenomena. However, most people question Microsoft's statement. In the general surge protection socket, the current-limiting diode will generally limit the current flowing through the socket, generally within a safe range, and will not control the working current of the Xbox360 host. If the transformer of Xbox360 has quality defects and cannot handle current fluctuation, three red lights may appear. Abnormal current If the transformer works abnormally when the main engine is started, or the main engine voltage is abnormal, it will cause the main engine to display three red warning lights. Generally, it can be solved by unplugging the transformer and plugging it in. Other problems In addition to the "three reds", Xbox360 has many other major problems: scratching the game disk. At the end of 2005, shortly after the release of Xbox360, a large number of users reported to Microsoft that when the host computer moved slightly or the cooling fan vibrated too fast, the CD-ROM drive would be damaged to varying degrees. In severe cases, the host computer could not read the game files on the CD-ROM, and the scratches on the game CD were not covered by the warranty. It is reported that according to Microsoft's litigation documents about the phenomenon of disk dicing, this problem was discovered when Microsoft developed Xbox360 from September 2005 to June 2005. Finally, Microsoft only added a warning slogan on the door of the game manual and CD-ROM drive: "Do not move the host when playing CD-ROM games". According to another lawsuit file, when the Xbox360 host is running, the optical drive rotates as high as 7500 revolutions per minute, and the rotating force may damage the optical disc. But Microsoft claims that the probability of Xbox360 is less than 1%. E-code fault E-code fault refers to the code that fails in the Xbox360 host, which is generally displayed in the form of e and two digits, among which E74 fault is more serious. It generally appears in Xbox360 series consoles with HDMI terminals launched in 2007. When something goes wrong, the game video output screen is abnormal, resulting in noise or stripes. One of the four indicator lights around the host power button flashes red, and the system screen shows "E74 system error, please contact Xbox customer support". It is reported that E74 fault is another form of fault display, with three red lights warning. According to Microsoft, the cause of E74 failure was that the new interface design of XboxExperience was added in the system update of 20081October19, which increased the workload of ANA/HANA chip responsible for HDMI signal output, resulting in E74 failure. Subsequently, Microsoft was forced to include E74 fault and Sanhong in the three-year warranty. Fan noise Xbox 360 Because the fan runs at full speed for a long time, compared with competitors Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the fan noise is very loud, and some users say that this noise is more like a hair dryer. After Xbox360 went on the market, some hackers tampered with the firmware of the host CD-ROM drive and installed direct reading chips to bypass the genuine verification mechanism of Xbox360 host and read pirated CDs. Some players even use pirated game discs to log on to Xbox Live server. On May 17, 2007, Microsoft began to block a large number of XboxLive services for all users who modified Xbox360, and blocked their body identification numbers, so that they could not log in to XboxLive (commonly known as Ban machines). Users whose host identification number is blocked will not be able to enjoy the warranty service of Xbox360. However, some pirated players have not been blocked, and some people think that there are loopholes in Microsoft's piracy monitoring mechanism.

Ensure to keep in good condition or repair.

Microsoft will provide three-year warranty for Sanhong and E74 problems, but only one-year warranty for all other host problems. Microsoft does not provide any guarantee for the scratch of game discs. Some players pointed out that the failure rate of Wii is lower than 1%, that of PS3 is about 15%, and that of Xbox 360 is 33%, so it should be repaired for 33 years according to the three red problems.

fault rate

Sanhong initially had a high failure rate, but with the continuous improvement of Microsoft and the continuous introduction of new host models, Sanhong's current failure rate has been greatly reduced. Take the latest dual 65NM host as an example. Although there are a few Tri-Red machines, if you are afraid of Tri-Red, don't worry too much now. Although the situation of "Three Red" still exists, if you are good at maintaining the machine at ordinary times, you can avoid and delay the premature appearance of "Three Red".
