It's a "interoral" camera.
I love that word.
INTERORAL
Yeah...except that it's an intraoral camera. But I can understand the confusion. With a name of "HotRod", and it "hitting the streets", it's easy to think it's going...erm...inter. :P



This news is actually more interesting than the xbox one "news".

PS4's have been having issues as well. Disk read errors and the Blue Light of Death (BLOD). Ya see, this is why I REFUSE TO BUY ANY NEW GAME SYSTEM DAY-ONE! I friggen wait a few months, see which console has better games coming out, and wait for all the bugs and hardware kinks to be worked out.

As it was said a square quadrillion times, a Next Gen launch often leads to stupidly large sales within a small time frame. A relatively small failure rate seems to be enormous when in fact it's just a few unlucky customers who got faulty units.

Buying a system now is the equivalent of buying a system at any given time until there's a hardware revision (not necessarily a "Slim" version, just a revision of the actual hardware) or until the process is adjusted, which more often than not takes months. Sure, there are always some launch knick-knacks that can go terribly wrong, but that doesn't automatically make a launch system a silly purchase, everything depends on your priorities.

Look, as far as we can tell right now, it's going to be the same as the PS4 launch: people over reporting an extremely small number of defective consoles.

I mean, I subsist off internet schadenfreude and even I think we should be calm about this. Unless this turns out to be a problem on a large scale, we probably shouldn't bother giving it too much attention.

Yep, it's just a couple hungry hungry XBox'es as it stands today. The system literally just launched so the scale of the problem is unknown.

MICRO$OFT IS DOOOOOMED :cry:


Ahem. Now that I got that out of my system, I'll just agree with what everyone else already said, that is that a few isolated incidents do not a trend make, and that people are focusing on one or two defective units that are to be expected in every batch (even the most stringent quality control allows for a certain number of defects), without looking at percentages.

But Micro$oft is doomed ;O;

Unless it's from Nintendo, save the games part. Can't be sure about that.

There are also reports of controller issues as well, it doesn't always synch properly which notably affected Reviewtechusa although he did get it working eventually.

When will people learn...
Only a small percentage of consoles are effected.
Ofcourse this will haunt the Xbone forever, much like the PS4's issues thanks to ill informed people.

In half an year, all the small hardware issues are a thing of the past.

Microsoft is doomed obviously.

Now, I'm asking because i honestly doesn't know but did the Wii U have any launch day problems?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
