Thread: "PlayStation 3 Stress Tested, Found Virtually Unbreakable"

The guys did three tests, one at room temperature, one down at 0 degrees F (below zero), and one at 120F. Besides slight condensation on the cord in the cold and a burning smell in the heat, the PS3 actually held up perfectly fine. It went back to a working environment and plays just like normal.

What a surprise... rec posts another 'finding' about the PS3 :eek:

We get it already, you like the stupid black box... enough please :p

From a games machine perspective it's actually still a box of useless crap, mainly because there's still no good games for the platform. That should be rectified very shortly though.

I disagree.
There's quite a few great titles out.
I'm currently weaving my way through Ninja Gaiden Sigma and F1 Grand Prix.

That said, bring on Heavenly Sword and Genji

Genji?, isn't that a launch title for the system. Im actually waiting for Stranglehold now, it looks similar to Max Payne which I enjoyed and various in game video's of it just look fun. Its just a pity Australia doesn't get the collectors edition that have the movie Hard Boiled on the game disk

a burning smell in the heat? ok then...

I like this thread when it was the Laystation

Probably, but again, the stores up here are shit.
There was only one copy of Ninja Gaiden left in Darwin and I managed to score it.

WoW and JB arent getting any new game stock in for at least 3 more weeks.

It's targetted at hardcore sim racers, the multiplayer system/netcode is terrible and there are lots of bugs to exploit to improve lap times. Harsh learning curve, and casual gamers just can't get into it.

Regardless, I still think we should have a race on PSN!
