| 1190042 | 2011-03-28 22:51:00 | I think Target on TV3 tonight may be worth a look. Gaming consoles are covered and from what I hear most don't last as long as they should. I may have it wrong but that was the impression I got from the advert. |

There was a huge spike in console failures around the 19th of March :stare: Basically the increased gravity effects consoles hard drives causing bad sectors! |

Does gravity affect you or does it just cause an effect? But then I'm adaptable and don't have to quote the same over and over again. :) A little entertainment for you:- www.youtube.com Don't forget to actually have an Adult with you. It's compulsory.:eek: |

| 1190048 | 2011-03-29 01:25:00 | Getting more serious I would hope they talk about more recent hardware and the reliability or otherwise. But then I will watch Target and then come to my own misguided conclusions all by myself. |

| 1190050 | 2011-03-29 03:18:00 | Perhaps they don't. Individual ownership doesn't prove anything. You need to take a large enough sample and see the failure rate to see if something is actually crap or not. I know both the PS (not the first) and the xboxes both have had issues, probably what Target will bang on about. Unfortuately I won't see it as husband has an extreme hatred of Target. Some of it is ok, but I think some of their bullshit got up his nose and now he won't watch it. From waht I've seen Target will probably take a sample of 2 and have one fail and conclude they're all crap. |
