    1998 Pontiac Trans Am

    360 down...AGAIN

    So I go to turn it on and nothing. It wont start. So I took it out and before I decided to adjust the screws on the mother board, I checked it again and it turned on, but the hard drive didnt work. It doesnt have the red rings but it will not start unless I use the remote. I dont know why it wont start w/o the remote? I tried to turn it on manually using a small screw driver and poke the starter but it didnt work.

    Basically if I go to turn it on, the green light on the system blinks once then goes away, and the remote still searches for the signal. Anyone know what it could be?

    Read books and you won't have this problem, unlike when the power grid is hit with an electromagnetic pulse bomb and you can't play your PS3 anymore, boohoo.

    ps3s have the yellow lights of death. ps3s do not have a removable hard drive, which is nice since i have about a dozen friends with xboxs at there house. ps3 also has weaker online although it is free which is nice.

    You can remove the hard drive on the PS3, I have upgraded every one I owned... It does not even viod the warranty.

    Is ps3 really worth it? Is it that much better than a 360?

    Heard about that. The new one also has built in wi-fi. I wonder how the signals would work out in the basement. You can buy an old 360, put a wi-fi on it, and still save $50 or more.

    True, but i just like the 1 button push remove and walk out the door harddrive. Alot of people i know feel more secure with this over having someone take off the side remove screws then put theres in and close it up.

    yes. yes. yes. and yes. all PS3s are 3D enabled through an online firmware update. they have a built in blu-ray player. (remember when xbox had the HD-DVDs? that worked out great). ps3 has better potential because of its massive processing power. i saw some one say that the online is 'weaker', i have no idea how you gauge that. i think the ps3 online is better because its free, and i think that would draw a larger crowd.
    annnnd finally, my last point....
    god of war 3. xbox doesnt have anything that can compare to that. nothing. it never will either, haha. best game ever.
