When I first saw that pic of the main console (not the controllers or Wiimotes), it honestly took me a bit of time to figure out what I was looking at before I read the "Revolution" on there. Afterwards, I thought it looked rather slick and pretty modern looking like something I'd buy for my computer. I didn't even realize it was the a "classic look" until I read someone mentioning it; however, a lot of this is contributed to the fact that I never owned an NES. I don't know about the controllers and Wiimote designs (I'm sorta neutral on them) but I think that main console is very slick looking.

 

 

But isn't it only half pity as I have one of them?

 

Duh. That's what Sony threads are for.


 

 

OMG I r such a n00blet

 

Er... the N64 just used two 32's....

 

No, it had two 64-bit chips. You may be thinking of the "Ultra 64" arcade boards, which I think used two 32-bit chips, or maybe the fact that the Nintendo 64's CPU and co-processor only use a 32-bit bus. Incidentally, the 16-bit CPU of the Genesis only used an 8-bit bus.

 

meh, the snes was a much nicer console and had more style about it (EU version anyway)

 

In my case Nostalgia sells....

 

I haven't so far and hope that it never happens to me. I haven't played mine in a week or so at any rate, need to start playing Wii Sports again or finish Bonk and Castlevania. This may be a stupid question but did you check the cables to make sure they were not loose or plug another system into the input on the TV or switch box or whatever to check it? I'm sure you probably thought of that but just thought I would ask.

 

Yeah, it's bus.

 

Well then, mystery solved  

It's still not a case of 32 + 32 = 64 though  

 

I hope you get it back soon. My brother's 360 died last night so he is feeling your pain at the moment. He plays that thing almost everyday all day so I let him use mine, he bought it for me as an early Christmas present on launch day after I waited in line for his and I felt bad for saying it died when the screen when white and before the red ring of death appeared. After the red ring the second time we turned it on it worked for at least 40 minutes before the red ring appeared again. What really sucks is that the warranty ran out in November and it will cost $140 to fix and we just can't do that now.

It's very strange that the internet channel would cause it, mine works fine. I just don't understand updates kill systems at random. It seems like something like that would brick all of them. Did they give you an estimated return date and did you back-up your saves on a SD card? If you had VC games I hope they are not lost.

 

Didnt microsoft extend the warranties of all launch 360s and will now fix them for free?

 

Only for a year and that year was up as of November last year.
