i hate this generation

Just because the DS' hinge cracks doesn't mean all is for naught. To paraphrase what someone else said on this forum, just dab a little two-part plastic epoxy into the hinge and wait for it to cure in 24hours- now the rest of your DS will break before that hinge ever does. It's probably best to use this while the crack is still the hairline type to nip the problem in the bud. If it's a clean separation all the way through you might want to use a quick 7-min setting epoxy.

FWIW, I used Loctite plastic epoxy, costs less than $5. Just be careful when using any type of epoxy, of course.

what if my DS' top screen doesn't have any resistance to it? it just sort of flops around like a dead fish and I have to put it on a flat surface to play it? will that fix it?

Bizzaro Kevar: YEP

AkumajinX: Wow...wow
Bizzaro Kevar: yep!
AkumajinX: Try the towel trick!
AkumajinX: We joked about this, too
AkumajinX: Granted, with Mass Effect
AkumajinX: but still the same idea
Bizzaro Kevar: wtf my wii overheated
AkumajinX: hahah
AkumajinX: Is the AC broken in your room or something?
Bizzaro Kevar: it's well ventilated :(
AkumajinX: Don't open your DS. At this point, it can only bring tragedy
Bizzaro Kevar: my hinge is snapped. io still need to call them about that
AkumajinX: on the bright side
AkumajinX: at least it happened now and not November
Bizzaro Kevar: maybe it'll happen again in november
AkumajinX: It could also not!
Bizzaro Kevar: "This is [name], how may I help you?"
"I got the red rings."
"Ouch, right before Bioshock?"

I edited my previous post, but if you use a quick setting epoxy, you could probably hold the two pieces together for ~10 minutes for the epoxy to set. Though I would wait for someone else to verify this. First time I used epoxy, but it worked like a charm.

Ummm, what's wrong with my post history? I'm pro-Ps3 and? Do you see me trolling 360 or 360 games in any thread?

Guy, how about this? Stop tracking my posts and stop following me around.

Oh yeah, a few exceptions apply. Bioshock! But that's a whole different matter not to be discuss here.

I was warning you, because if some specific people were to see that post, it'll likely develop into another feud.

Not 360.

And I'm with Segata, how did this become a Sony pep talk? Then you guys have the nerve to tell off people who say they don't want PS3 :lol
Click to expand...

Sure, it could be said of the 360. Though that will change in the months to come, just like the other systems.
 
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. If you have a PS2, I definitely recommend picking up a copy of Persona 3 or tackling some of your ps2/PC backlog in the mean time. It isn't a replacement for bioshock/madden/prime 3 but it should hold you over for the time being while your new refurbs ship.

A metric fuck-ton of gamers want their Bioshock, Halo 3, and Mass Effect very specifically. They don't care.
Click to expand...

I agree with Halo 3 but umm, Bioshock and Mass Effect? Yeah, okay. They are great games but they're not games that people cannot live without. People can even live without Halo 3.

Stupid, stupid statement on your behalf. Funny thing is, you claim it like a FACT. :lol :lol :lol

Sometimes, I'm astonished that people call me out.
 
Y'know... touch wood this doesn't happen and all... but PS3 is still a pretty young machine. It took a year for this whole RROD thing to reach critical mass. And I remember my PS2 DREs all too well.

I officially have no faith in any hardware manufacturer. My Wii has the overheat specks as well :(

RROD was a known and widespread issue just a few short months after the 360 launch. Some chalked it up to rushed launch units, but the problem persisted.

Drakes Fortune looks great, as does LBP and Heavenly Sword ok
 
edit: things are going good for me. 360s were failing right out the gate and the problem only got worse, so i never jumped in. there are so many games on the rest of hte platfroms that waiting for 360 to drop in price, fix it's hardware issues, and get some must have titles is effortless.

Sony isn't.

Poor people sure are a loud bunch though.
 
So

Most reliable equals the worst selling console
Worst graphics equals the best selling console

And it's been like that for at least 2 generations. A pattern indeed.

LEARN THIS, INDUSTRY
 
sorry for your losses.

one question though, when did we decide that the PS3 was more reliable than the Wii? what are we basing that on? i've only heard of sporadic cases of death in both cases. did i miss something?

Yes, you might've missed people having broken Wiis and them sending a PS3 to the surface of the sun and having it come back unscathed...


...and carrying some Carvel Ice Cream.

Most expensive = worst selling console
Cheapest = best selling console?

Seriously, I'm still surprised so many people are willing to throw down 500-600 for a console these days.

No it couldn't.

Yes. It could.

I haven't played anything on my 360 since Gears of War. That'll change in like a day when I pick up BioShock, and a few weeks later with Halo 3.

how did the ice cream survive the trip?

that's incredible.

me, i've got all three systems and haven't had a spot of bother out of any of them... nor do i have any precautions like turning off wii connect 24 or only using my 360 for exclusive titles and all that.

no problems with the ps3's bluetooth, although it's onboard wireless isn't so good... that isn't really a defect and i use the lan port anyway due to the wireless not working in linux either.

that really didn't help did it?

I meant library-wise. But at least DREs didn't totally nerf the console. Hell, you could get by on slow bootups for months or years before it got so bad you had to throw it out.

Regardless of how many titles you have happened to buy through 2007, there's no way to say 'there ain't much to play on it.' There's been at least one tentpole release every month of this year, never mind the 14 months before that.
 
FortunateSon said:
What's 360 lineup for 2008?
Click to expand...
You asked for a list, so I'll give you one:

-Splinter Cell Conviction
-Alan Wake
-Fable 2
-Halo Wars
-Banjo Kazooie
-Too Human
-Left 4 Dead
-The Marvel MMO
-Ninja Gaiden 2
-Infinite Discovery
-Cry On
-Castle Crashers (is this a XBLA title?)

And those are only the exclusives that I can name off the top of my head. There are tons of great multi-console titles and unannounced games, too.

And having read today someone talking about the expected 199 price tag for the Wii, i wonder how much it would sell if it came out with that one.

I think there's a slight chance that it would sell less because of being too cheap. I dunno, market is crazy!

i already have too much buzz with pc, ps2, psp, ps3, wii, and my ds. i'm good.

if there were must have titles for 360, i'd already have one.

Same could be said of the PS3 since it released for the most part with Resistance, Virtua Fighter 5, MotorStorm, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, WarHawk Beta, Rainbow Six Vegas and all the arcade titles.

My point was that there seems to be a lull on all the consoles right now, and that'll change this fall as each one seems to have some pretty damn fine titles coming out for it.

If you just pick up a PS3 for the first time, you'll have plenty to play.
