But John Davidson is a total PS Fanboy. So don't you think he would make a case like this? John has done nothing other than work on writing for Sony Products, so Hello!

Actually, Triforceowner, he was just letting his kid play with the PS3 controller, pretending to play the game that his older son playing the 360 was on.

The 360 pushes plenty of hot air, it's called the XBOX division of Micro$oft. From Jay Allard, Peter Moore, Major Nelson and the biggest windbag ever, Bill Gates.

Can't ask for much more hot air than that.

Maybe some day they'll actually make a profit on XBOX.

I love how the fact that the PS3 gets ungodly hot - hot enough to fry an otherwise normally decently cooled box (by the blogger's own admission, NOT mine) - is portrayed as Sony somehow "winning" something... What did they win exactly? The potential for a liability suit to replace his Xbox?

The heat dissipation on both boxes sucks. Much like the fanboyism from all sides of this so called console "War." Get a grip. Buy em both and reap the benefits of being able to play ALL the good games.

It's John DAVISON, not Davidson. Also he's not a 1UP Editor, he's the Editorial Director of the Ziff-Davis Game Group. Show some respect.

4 red lights means that the video cable is unplugged.

are you serious? you're obviously a fanboy because what you said didn't make sense at all.

What doesn't make sense about 1up being biased? You obviously never go to their site. Look at the load of BS they wrote about the 8 reasons not to get an Xbox Elite.

Hey Grant, I'm sorry I couldn't get it sooner but I took two photos of the SNES VC top sellers from the June issue of Nintendo Power and sent them to you in my reply.

Man I can't believe it but I totally had all three Voltron toy sets. I had always thought there was only one Voltron and it was great. Then I discovered there was a vehicle Voltron and thought he looked familiar, but now I know the truth. I watched the entire series of Lion Voltron and most of the 3D one. I hope that Robot Taisen Generation with Voltron can make it over here.

I don't think that EGM is biased They had a picture of the PS3 being hit with tomatoes on the cover once and then they gave 8 reasons not to get an xbox 360 elite. They have probably said some thing bad about the Wii too but I don't remember right off the top of my head. So who's side are they on again I seemed to have missed it.

Anyway back to the topic at hand kids will be kids especially younger ones. I seem to remember my brother sticking a PB&J sandwich in my dads VCR when he was little, That was funny

Frank,

Bill Gates, "the biggest windbag of all"? That must be a joke. The guy is a downright nasty business man, but nobody ever accuses him of talking too much.

It wasn't the hao air coming from the PS3, even though the turbines behind the PS3 blow out a lot of hot air. The 360 preformed Harikari becaase it realized that it was playing Cars for hours.

Was the PS3 even running with a game? I don't have one yet so I want to know if it gets that hot without running a game. Otherwise, I'd be justified to actually wait longer just so the system design gets some much needed reworking (i.e. to increase disc read speeds with a new disc drive, decrease power consumption, decrease heat generation, etc.)

1up is full of sh!#. Everyone knows they are bias as hell. They're all a bunch of sony fanboys. The sad thing is that 4 red rings means that the tv cable isnt pluged into the system. Only the 3-rings means an error.

Yo, MS fanbois:


The picture in the 1up article is just a stock photo. It isn't actually of John's 360. Same way joystiq puts a Snoop Dogg pic up even though Snoop wasn't actually on scene when John's 360 died.

If you think the 360 doesn't put out hot air, you're nutty. Both put out a lot of heat, the difference is the 360 gave out first. How you can convince yourself that somehow a flaw in the PS3 made the 360 screw up I dunno.

Anyone who thinks John is a PS3 fanboy must have missed him plugging Forza 2 4 weeks ago on 1up yours or the 4 weeks John and Garnett spent stating how much they liked Viva Pinata. It got by far more press than any other game on the show this season.

"But instead of shutting down, it blows out so much hot air that it kills the 360."

More like the PS3 and the 360 share the same high temperature of air circulating in the contained area and the PS3 wins. Say it right pzl. You almost make it sound like the PS3 is some hot air gushing heatmonster.

@12:

Rank: 1UP Editor

Quoted from his blog page under his photo. Maybe that's where people get the idea he is a 1up Editor.

This fanboiism is so stupid, both consoles have problems with air circulation, and it's even funnier that everywhere i go, i tend to find that xbox fans are getting more more ridiculous with their comments, it's obvious that the xbox is a great console, and it's easier to make games for it and since it has about 1 year and a half advance in sales that the ps3 that it has bigger library,but hell both of them have their own problems, even pc's have problems sometimes... I believe John wanted to point out that it's funny that the consoles can't stand to be next to each other, just stop behaving like jack@sses
