>Console still metls itself.

What were you even doing MS?

every console have it now.
i guess its better to replace that shit instead the whole console if a power surge happens.

PS4 didn't

aren't some of the failures that can happen due to people basically mistreating the power supply

>og xbox didnt have it
>whole 360 line did
>first xbox one also had it
What were they doing with all that space?

My xbox one keep going off by it self could it be the power brick ?

lmao some models even have built in failures due to how the way the heatsink tightens on the cpu, the pcb would just fucking due to its own weight crack after a while.

>power surge
If you don’t have your electronics plugged into one of these you’re a retard

That time i found out gamestop gave like $20 credit for those

>his country has power surges
>his country has power outages
>not running your house off of free solar panels the govt paid to get installed onto your house
>actually paying for electricity
lmao fukken nerds

Ideally its better to have a external PSU.

For first gen Xbox it's just a design defect, It's due to the use of unleaded solder and crowding key components closely around the CPU, the solder would soften and harden over and over again due to thermal stress and become brittle over time, eventually causing a short or breaking a circuit.

The clamping device used to mount the CPU cooler also put excessive pressure on the motherboard and in second and third gen 360's which fixed the crowding/solder issue, the combination of heat stress and pressure would physically warp the motherboard until the cooler lifted right off the CPU.

>PSU has a little laptop fan in it
>due to being on the floor all the time, it vacuums dust out of the carpet whenever the console is on.
>eventually clogs itself, the fan begins to break down and sound like a chainsaw.
>fan bearing is sealed and cannot be lubricated, replacement fans are almost as expensive as a replacement power brick by themselves.
>console still gets hot enough that the whole circuit board sags, causing traces and contacts to break leading to the RROD.
The 360 is quite possible the worst-designed console of all time.
Who thought this kinda shit was a good idea?

I know about the solder issue. I just thought that a bad PSU could cause the video card to go out and I know people took care of the xbox when transporting it but usually tossed the power brick around.

Americans. Who else would be the only population stupid enough to buy Xbox after Xbox just to be able to pay to play Halo online until each one breaks?

That thing fell off behind the table it was on while I was sleeping and it scared the shit out of me. It's amazing how the Xbox is still massive without an internal power supply. .

>allows the console to be lighter and run cooler
>no dumbass a/c adapter on the wall plug
if it breaks you can just get a new one no problem
give me one reason why every console should not be like this

>it's powered by usb C

Only two of my 360s failed due to red rings. The other 8 times were DVD disk drive issues. Whether it was disk read errors, bay drive jamming, disk scratching (even when horizontal sitting still), I usually got fucked by the disk drive the most. My 360s ate my disks for breakfast, had to send one in with Halo odst stuck inside to Microsoft to fix. I never got the disk back :(

what

I guess that would still count as an external psu wouldn't it

I like it specifically because you don’t

i hate it so much because i had areally shitty situation going on when i had 360
i had an extension lead going in from the hallway, connected to my UPS, which in turn was connected to all my shit in my room, including fuck ups like this PSU, which then led to more devices
it was a cabling fucking nightmare

970fx was a workstation PPC CPU that basically required a jet engine fan set to cool. It was fine under single core, but once games like Ghost recon came out and started to push the cpu load to multi-core it began to hot box the unit. Can you imagine if they didn't permanently disable the 4th core.

It's also worth noting that sticking with a single 970fx cpu core and stacking a crap ton of vector units did save the PS3 from the same issue, at the cost of complexity and crappy branching support.

Xbox 360 is the only console after my childhood that I sold all my games and peripherals for. I did that because I had 4 of them break.

I don't think I've ever had any other console break without me dropping it. The only other time a console broke on me was when I fell asleep playing an endurance race in Gran Turismo 3 and pulled my PS2 off of my entertainment center. lel
