Part 1 of 2 (part 2 coming 7/25). Classic Game Room HD reviews the Hyperkin RETRON 3 video game console that plays Super Nintendo SNES, Nintendo 8-bit NES and 16-bit Sega Genesis video games. It even has S-Video (which works for Genesis and SNES) as well as standard composite video. The Retron3 comes with 2 wireless controllers which are acceptable for NES games but have poor Genesis button mapping. More importantly though, the Retron 3 allows you to play with your original controllers for Genesis, NES and SNES!! Now, that’s a feature!! This CGR review of the Hyperkin Retron 3 shows gameplay from several video games including Gaiares on Genesis, Ultraman on SNES and Zanac on Nintendo Entertainment System NES. This video shows the s-video quality of the Hyperkin Retron3 compared to a modified Sega Genesis Model 1 and demonstrates the audio quality. Video quality is very impressive and audio is not bad, although it lacks some of the dynamics that the original Genesis produces. Overall performance was awesome and CGR thinks that this console should not be overlooked when shopping for replacement old school systems. Flexibility, quality and original controller compatibility make the Retron 3 a bombastic classic video game console.

Ps3 Cons:
1) No IR receiver, you can’t use your regular universal remote to control the ps3 you need a bluetooth which means an extra remote.
2) Shape, this one sounds stupid, but the rounded shape of the ps3 really annoys me because you can’t stack, say your wii, or even lay your remotes on top of the unit. (maybe you shouldn’t do that anyhow LOL)
3) Less games, or at this point I guess the better point would be less games made for the ps3, instead of built for the xbox and ported to the ps3, this is however changing and in the future will be less of an issue.

Xbox 360 Pros:
1) Great online setup, lots of features which some may miss on the ps3, many probably will not
2) great game line up with a head start on ps3
3) Easy to navigate menus
4) Native Netflix Support

Xbox 360 Cons:
1) Noise
2) Build Quality
3) Online service is $50 per year.
4) Tech support, I have called xbox live support several times, it is impossible to get them to understand what the issue is or even my name, I even gave up once.

you can buy easily this online:
PlayStation 3

2) Xbox has had many SKUs or Stock-Keeping-Unit.. which has basically different Xboxs with variations in their hardware… It’s generally results from the arrival of the chipsets that is built in. Newer chipsets get smaller and run cooler. It can also done to create an different packages according to affordable prices. Example, when you go to the store you can choose a package according to how much you can afford to pay.. it could be an Xbox with 20GB harddrive, Xbox with 60GB hdd, Xbox with 120Gb and a headphone and two controllers.. or so on. In a way you could consider the new Xbox Slim as a newer SKU too. But SKUs are important because you not only you can go choose which you can afford.. but also considers the chipset and go with the better one. The tricky part is that SKUs are only presented in terms of differing attachments or accessories. It won’t tell you on the box which chipset in inside the xbox.

3) There were Pro, Core and Arcade version. Then Pro and Core got discontinued. Arcade got updated with a chipset called Jasper, which is smaller, consumes less power, and runs little cooler, and most importantly has almost resolved the infamous red ring of death issue or hardware failure from overheating. Then came Elite which is basically an Arcade with same Jasper chipset, and bigger much harddrive, and better bundled accessories.

4) Do not buy Pro and Core or (and old Arcade version).. they might be cheaper.. but they are not only discontinued, but also prone to red ring of deaths or hardware failure.

5) So now there is updated Arcade and Elite (with Jasper Chipset) and the New Xbox Slim (with Valhalla chipset, which runs even cooler).

6) With arrival of new Xbox Slim, Arcade and Elite prices have gone down. I would recommend New Xbox Slim because it comes with 250Gb and built in harddrive. runs quieter and cooler. and there are some good accessory bundle offers. plus it is Kinect-ready. And of’course it looks amazing with shiny black piano finish.

7) However, if you cannot afford Xbox Slim, go for Arcade or Elite. Make sure they have jasper chipset in it. They generally come with a three year warranty. insist on it. go to different stores. or if you could pay few bucks are get a three year warranty go for it. But mostly with Jasper xboxs you will be safe.. but get the warranty anyways.

SO HOW DO YOU TELL A JASPER CHIPSET?
Certainly not from the box and outward appearance.

You can take your seller’s word for it or
Take a sneak peak at the bottom of the Power Brick inside the box.
or the the backside of the Xbox itself.

it should read Output DC =150W
12V—12.1A

I would recommend Elite, because with Arcade you won’t get a harddrive, which you will eventually have t buy separately anyways. And New xbox Slim because it has built in wifi adapter, which in case of both Elite or Arcade.. you’ll have to buy is separately for US$99 if you want to access Xbox Live service… So get if can’t afford Slim, then get the Xbox Elite with jasper chipset. Prices have gone down. You’ll get bundled offers.. might come with headphones, and so on..

OTHER TIPS XBOX OWNERS CAN USE:

I recommend you always install the games you will play most onto the hard drive; not only the xbox runs quieter, but you will also increase the life of your disc by preventing the scratches as the game will run from the hdd.

One important point is not to move the xbox or dangle it in the air when the disc is spinning inside. There is a sticker on the disc tray ‘Do not move when disc n tray’. But some stupid people can’t read the sticker in front of their eyes and dangle the xbox in the air, which will damage the disc. I don’t see any reason why would anyone be dumb enough do that, unless they’re dumb haha.

Also keep the xbox horizontal as… the vertical in the advertisements is vertical mainly for aesthetic reasons..otherwise microsoft recommends it horizontal. It avoids being knocked down by mistake by kids or anyone.. And reduces the chances of disk scratches cause if you think about it.. horizontal way is natural way to keep it. Plus I there is a ventilation on the ride side, which can get faced down and blocked when you stand it vertically. which i imagine would block ventilation and cause heat increase and rrod. So I’d recommend keeping it in a clutter-free environment. In a free space, not in a cabinet where ventilation is less. And on a hard surface.

As long as you take care of it, you’ll be a happy gamer;)

I’m not sure which is cheaper, but i don’t think you can get a new ds original, just a refurbished one.

I’m back once again, taking a look at the latest entry in the Dragon Ball game series from Spike and Namco-Bandai Games.

Also, my apologies for the fast talking (done due to editing the gaps in the commentary down to fit the review into the ten-minute time-limit) and to ZephonDakari if I pronounced his username wrong.

Enjoy, and feel free to comment
