Ps3 and Xbox hybrid..

Have you got more than two consoles and find all the cables annoying? Ever wished there was one console that you could play different console games on? Well this maybe the start the future.. A keen gamer got fed up of all the cables from his Ps3 and Xbox and decided to make a hybrid. He gutted out the Ps3 and Xbox and fitted it in an empty pc tower.. The result are pretty awesome..
You can see the original post here.

Fair play to the guy, this is truly awesome, I wish I had the balls and confidence to try this myself. Kudos to the man! Here's a picture of the insides..

The inside of the pc tower looks so epic. 

If you guys could have on games console with the power of two, which two consoles would you want?

Faulty Xbox's no more!


Gamestation and Game have only now decided to stop selling older models of the Xbox. The core unit, arcade and 20gb models had a high failure rate. They will still be selling what they have in stock but won't be selling any pre-owned ones. I now have the Limited edition Halo: Reach console, I bought this after my fourth Xbox broke down with the red ring of death. The last Xbox to have died should have gotten fixed with Microsoft but they suck. The rrod appeared a week before my warranty run out, I arranged with them to come pick it up so I packed it ready and on the day it was supposed to get picked up nothing happened.. Then the warranty run out and I was sad. But now the new Halo Xbox is doing well. The likely-hood of the newer models getting the rrod has been majorly reduced.. Since the fans are on the side it is able to breathe a lot easier and if it starts to get hot it will show a red dot and then shut itself down.

Sorry for the short post today, i've been busy again with uni preparation and I've also been helping my friend revise for his university test. I've gone over his notes so much that i've learnt about materials and manufacturing in Product Design..

Have you guys ever had that horrible feeling of your Xbox slowly giving in to rrod?
