- A new independent study shows Microsoft's lingering 'Red Ring of Death' (RROD) hardware issue that results in the console breaking appears to be on the decline.SquareTrade, the largest independent warranty provider, has analyzed the failure rates of over 16,000 new consoles at random covered by the company for the last two years. The company provided additional information, saying the breakdown was: 2,500 PS3s, 2,500 Xbox 360s and 11,000 Wiis. The study highlights the many prevalent hardware issues and errors found in today's consoles.One major point the study revealed is that since the inclusion of the smaller, cooler chipsets, often referred to as 'Jasper' chips, the Xbox 360 console has seen less and less 'Red Ring' errors.
SquareTrade does note that many costumers are reporting the RROD error straight to Microsoft, which would bypass the company's statistical data, and says the failure rate of the Xbox 360 could be as high as 35%.This data comes only weeks after Game Informer published its own survey results, indicating the Xbox 360 failure rate was as high as 54%The study is quite thorough and is definitely worth checking out on SquareTrade's website.
XBox performs parallel tasksProfs put away Halo 3 for five minutesBy David NealMonday, 14 September 2009, 17:00BRITISH SCIENTISTS have worked out that the XBox 360 can be used to power something other than teenage adrenaline rushes.White coat wearers at the University of Warwick have taken the game console's GPU and made it perform parallel processing functions. Of course the fact that the Xbox 360 is a consumer games console means that the academics were able to perform some impressive number crunching on a very cheap system indeed - especially compared with the cost of using a dedicated clustering system.According to a BBC report gleaned from a rather niche sounding periodical, the professors built a system that would let them model how electrical signals in the heart deal with damaged cells. That's much better than the usual 'scream at people while playing multi-player games' use that the XBox 360 usually endures.When it comes to performance the GPU is not quite the full ticket, but the team said it's not all that far off either. Dr Simon Scarle, a researcher on the team, told the Beeb, "You don't quite get the full whammy of a cluster, but its close."Now he just needs to kill the third zombie, steal its amulet, and blow up a dozen Covenant warships - that should do the trick. µ
Great deal. Arcman approves.I would so get this if I didn't already have one.Reddos...yuh officially still stickin if yuh aint preorder this yet.
