Uh oh… Looks like some people are getting the Ring of Death after some freezing issues on GTA IV<\/a>. Most likely from hard core gamers overusing their consoles for hours on end, breaking the “cold solder” connections on their motherboard. Not that I’m surprised. On the weekend, I flipped on my XBox 360 after a few hours of Wii and had forgotten how loud the fan\/HD operation is in comparison. WHAT? ARE YOU PLAYING HALO 3? I SAID “HALO”, NOT GAYLORD! I mean come on, how much power\/heat does the console generate? How much does it need<\/em> to generate? <\/p>\n

Truly a testament to Japanese manufacturing compared to American<\/a>. Cheaper, smaller, faster, less obtrusive and better designed. Curiously there are no entries for “Wii Technical Problems” on Wikipedia, but there was that whole “toss your Wiimote into your new flatscreen TV” thing. Oh sure, I hear you say “But the Wii is a lower processor\/graphics intense game play than the Xbox!” I am sure if you were to make an equally graphic machine like the Xbox in Wii size, it would have a big wind tunnel sized fan on the back and heat sinks larger than the tubes coming out of the Alien’s back. <\/p>\n

Regardless, I’m having fun will Bully<\/em> still. I’m beating up Greaser kids over in Coventry!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
