Does PSN+ include a YLoD? :roll:

WilliamRLBaker

whats a ylod? You Lose or Die?

yellow light of death which is the name of the general fault error the ps3 puts out and if its to be believed was at 11% of all systems sold at one point. *But only if you also believe the 54% failure rate of the 360* PS plus offers an extended warranty program but you have to pay extra.

54% fail rate for 360 lool :D microsoft made twice the profit they should have

Definately not all of them, some people can't be bothered with the hassle of rma so they end up buying a new one.

This rumors was going for a while a few years ago and nothing happened. Microsoft doesn't even officially regard the premium Live service as gold and the free one as silver any more. I doubt they're looking to complicate it any more.

I thought you buying a 360 would finally make you a manticore. I was mistaken. Why does everyone act as though the 360 has no games just because the first part of the year has been stale? Everyone knows Microsoft releases it's big titles in the holiday. After Alan Wake, I'm not sure I even blame them. This has been the gen of multiplats anyway. As far as XBLDiamond is concerned, I like IPTV - but it'd have to offer a great deal to get me to upgrade.

Because it's System Wars. Logic doesn't even apply to cows at all. They don't exactly know what MS are bringing out to the table as of yet. What they fail to realize, is out there in the real world, most PS3 players play multiplats & Blu-Ray movies much more than exclusives.

Stupid name. The next precious metal after silver and gold is platinum. XBL Platinum would have sounded better than XBL Diamond. But I know that's just my nit picky opinion.

MrSelf-Destruct

It's nothing that interests me, but MS do know what they're doing. Their system is growing year over year at three times the rate of the PS3. So Diamond may not appeal to you or I, but MS are doing really well for a system that's six years old.

I wouldn't be surprised if they announced this Diamond thing at E3 and really push this entertainment lifestyIe forward. But really, that is what mainstream consumers want and that is what MS is giving them. Sony might be more inclined right now towards traditional gamers which certainly makes them a bit more appealing. But I don't think MS gives a crap about GotY when they're tapping into a market that even Nintendo has failed to reach. It's very possible that with the 360, MS will surpass the Wii and PS3 without having to release another new console for quite a few years.

It really sucks for us gamers, though. What's the point of them harvesting new features for their system when they are neglecting the ones that gave the damn thing purpose to begin with? I understand what they are trying to do and agree that its clever of them, but it sure isn't that great for the people who bought it just to play games.

They are just kinda letting third parties carry the platform. Not nessecarily a bad thing, it just depends on what 3rd parties put out

Neat feature but I'm not interested in it. Knowing M$, they'll probably charge you $100+ for it.

Interesting if true. If it has a competitve price and good content, it might be worth it. Still, netflix instant is good enough for me (accompanied by a one dvd out at a time plan) to be bothered with anything other than OTA channels.
