Microsoft Xbox 360’s Red Ring of Death Looks To Be On the Decline Thankfully
By Evan Selleck on Thursday, Sep 3rd 2009 No CommentsA few weeks back, we told you that Microsoft’s Xbox 360 was seeing some really bad numbers, regarding return rates and that enfuriating Red Ring of Dead (RRoD) problem.

Sony PSP Go Torn Asunder and Inspected
By Evan Selleck on Wednesday, Aug 26th 2009 1 CommentTearing down gadgets isn’t new. In fact, The PSP Go’s bigger brethren just went through the same thing. There’s plenty of reasons to do these things to new pieces of tech, but most of it revolves around finding out what makes them tick, and how much it cost to put it all together. In the case of the PSP Go, there’s nothing really new to show off. And to be honest, we’d much prefer to have one not disassembled, rather than look at those standard guts within.
