I always thought the PS3′s equivilent of the RROD was the “Clinicaly Ill Disk Drive” basicly when you PS3′s disk drive just stops working and you either have to get it fixed or you have to get a new PS3. It happened twice to me within a year, fortunatly I was able to get it replaced both times and the last time I ended up getting what amounted to a free HD upgrade, so not all bad.

The PS3 slims dropping of backwards compatibility doesn’t really bother me as about 99% of the PS3′s sold in the UK aren’t backwards compatible anyway. Which actualy really sucked, as the main reason I got it when I did was so I could play PS2 games on the new TV.

Some days it’s hard to be a Sony fanboy.

@The Anarchyz hey at 40% I’d say its one of the lowest failure rates for microsoft products in general

@Lax the original PS3 couldn’t play many PS2 games? My PS3 was from the first batch and it plays all of my 300+ PS2 games with no problem at all.

@Steve you sure do make a lot of jokes about Sony but they are always funny, and I’m sure people in Sony read your comics every so often and even get a laugh out of them too.

As for he backwards compatibility drop I think its more or less to try and push the last of the PS2 slims out the door also since that is only $100

The PS3 equivalent of the Red Ring of Death is simple, its the Green Ring of Death. If your XBOX 360 displays a green ring your PS3 wont even boot-up. =P

I lol’d so much at this page. The comic made me laugh and to learn that there is people who waste there time speed testing different ps3′s made me laugh even more. If i had a ps3 i would just play on it and not care if it loaded faster that older models.
