 Re: PS3 vs 360 (Next-Gen war)
Seen an article that gives some extra ammunition as to which is the better system (at least in regards to how well built they are). The guys over at the site PS3Vault put a PlayStation 3 through several stress tests. Each one went a total of 108 hours and covered doing various things (playing blu-ray movies, gaming, folding, etc.)
Test 1 was set in what would be a typical room with a temperature set at 73 degrees farenheit (roughly 20 C)-the normal enviroment for the system. Test 2 was done in the back of a freezer van at the starting temp of 50 F (10C) and dropped down to 0 F (-18 C). The final test was in a sauna at a starting temp of 100 F (37 C) eventually bumped up to 120 F (49 C).
Results of all 3 tests? The PS3 functioned perfectly through all 3 tests! The extreme cold and heat did nothing to affect the performance. So, if anyone asks you about overheating you can point them toward these findings. The PS3 is one very tough machine.  |
