When you are bored, what do you do? Do you take a jog through the park or make cookies with your family? Do you play with yo-yos and other manual objects? Do you clean or do the dishes? There is another option! You could play a good title on a great consoles. What are the differences between the gaming consoles though? In this article I will show you!

What makes all of the consoles different? What are the quirks for all of them?

The first system I will talk about is the ps3. The ps3 is a great system that allows for blue-ray playing as well as playing titles. It is a system that hails many titles and great visual effects.

Unfortunately, the Xbox 360 video game console has a number of technical problems that are so common as to be nearly identified with this video game itself.

The ‘red ring of death’ is basically a reporting mechanism that lets the user know that there is a technical malfunction of the hardware or a ‘core digital failure’. It is very possible that receiving this indication means that a ‘fatal error has occurred’. This technical failure rate is reported to be far more common than the electrical goods industry in general, desipte Microsoft’s initial claims of a 2-3% failure rate when the games console was first launched, which would have been within regular industry parameters.
