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?
