"And with fellow GamerZines colleague Jon telling me only yesterday that his brand new slim started displaying something that looked like it had come straight out of the Matrix, something tells me these won't be the last."

The whole point of this article was that last sentence. Keep spreading that FUD.

phatak4885d ago

just for the record. My launch ps3 still kicking and alive 4 years and 5000 hours l8tr

Government Cheese4885d ago

I bought all consoles on launch, and they are fine, except the Wii ironically was the only one to have disc reading problems that I had to get repaired.

sku7790tz4884d ago

my 12th 360 just RRODed awhile ago.

Jack-Pyro4884d ago

You never owned a 360 troll, now back under your bridge with you, Shoo!

Peppino74884d ago

My launch 360 still works but I don't play it much. Last game was gears 2. I do wanna play me2 and alan wake though. My 60 gb ps3 also is working really well but im playing that every other day or so.

kaveti66164884d ago

my 360 died a few months ago and I got it repaired for free. i didn't feel the need to write an article about it.

OneSneakyMofo4884d ago (Edited 4884d ago )

A few months ago compared to five years ago when the three year warranty was nonexistent. Nice damage control though.

On topic: Mine died back in August. I didn't care to pay $60 Live when the PS3 does the same thing for free. I don't miss it a bit.

FLIAMBAIT, now that GT5 storm is over and its not perfect as it was made out to be. PS3 fanboys return to bashing Xbox. What a suprise.

deadreckoning6664885d ago

Saying that your 360 got RROD constitutes being a PS3 fanboy?

Matthew944885d ago (Edited 4885d ago )

well if i say ANYTHING ps3 critical everyone assumes that i own a 360 and love gears of war even thoough i have a ps3 and pc and thats it

kaveti66164885d ago

talking about your xbox 360 from 5 fucking years ago? and posting it on a fanboy site? and implying that the problem continues with the Slim models?

yeah.

Vegeta90004885d ago

Saying that your 360 got the RRoD doesn't make you a PS3 fanboy. I guess it's an easy mistake to make because smart people often buy a better console when their 360 dies.

karl4885d ago

actually .. now that the Gt5 trolling articles storm is almost over

Now 360fanboys go back to their caves and wait for the next ps3 esclusive to come out.... its so calm again that we actually have the chance to see articles like this...

they used to be overrun by the GT5 is crap articles u know

Parapraxis4885d ago

@Matthew94 , you do realize your comment history is EASILY checked...right?

Please stop lying.

TreMillz4885d ago

LOL WAT! DAMN! I guess those millions of ppl with rrod 360s love Sony. DUMBEST COMMENT THIS WEEK!

RedDead4885d ago

I never got the red ring, I got the E74 once though which got refurbished for free, but that one was a replacement of another replacement, i've had 3 360's now and the one i have right now is a refurbished model...

Theonik4885d ago

Honestly i don't even know anymore, criticize either of the 3 consoles makes you a fanboy these days apparently. Infact you aren't even allowed to say that your console broke. Things break and that the way they're meant to be ya know?

HolyOrangeCows4885d ago

"Saying that your 360 got RROD constitutes being a PS3 fanboy?"

Of course; 20-50% of all 360 owners are PS3 fanboys. Didn't you know?

RedDevils4885d ago

the pint is kaveti6616 is what percentage of the slim died compared to 360 RROD guess you already know the answer

shoddy4885d ago

RROD = shoddy hardware

JUST died. Took 5 years. Had a good run with it.

:-(

HolyOrangeCows4885d ago

If 5 years is a "good run", then I guess all of my 6th generation and before systems surviving 10+ years is a freaking miracle? No. No, 5 years is NOT a "good run"

Newtype4885d ago

Wow, even the new ones break?

I never knew of the Red dot of death...I thought they fixed it ^ oh well.

gamerz4883d ago

We don't know yet since they typically take 12-18 months to fail. Though it's unlikely a redesigned console would have the same problems.

Buffniceguy4885d ago

Yeah if you don't like the 360 automatic Ps3 fanboy I love the logic here :)

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

Friendlygamer1h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

ZeekQuattro5h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B3h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21833h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh3h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia2h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins3h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal2h ago

The first game was the best imo.
