Seeing red on your new PS3

Red is such a powerful color. It’s mostly effective since it’s the one that attracts our attention the most. And grab our attention it certainly will, especially if you see it flashing on your newly bought PlayStation 3. Yup, it most certainly is a sure-fire way to get you breaking out in a cold sweat.

Just check out the vid above. According to Blak06 (either the guy above or the one shooting the vid), “the PS3 shut off while playing Tony Hawk P8 after 3 hours of play.” From then on, he just gets the flashing red light each time they try to reboot the console.

We really can’t say if the guy just overworked his PS3 (every gamer should know that gaming time flies, so three hours for him could be anywhere between 6-12 hours in real life), if it’s just a remote problem, or Tony Hawk’s moves just got too hot to handle even by the most powerful console around. We could only hope it’s nothing serious.

Anyway, now that the wait for the PS3 is over (at least until they release the remaining 600,000+ units for North America), what they now have to deal with are those defective consoles, which leaked out to the market.

Oh well, shoot happens.
