Are you also going to bitch to Ford or GM when your car breaks down out of warranty too? Do you want them to hold your hand and tell you everything's going to be okay? You own something that broke outside of it's manufacturer's promised warranty. Keyword is outside. That means the manufacturer fufilled it's promise. It's on you now. It costs $150, do you want it fixed or not?

People who complain about this kill me, I don't care if it's 'been happening'...it's nowhere near the scale of RROD. How many of those consoles are still going strong?

Unfortunately, there's a failure rate with everything and your product falls into that percentile. We apologize, but hopefully for your convenience we will have a slightly cheaper model out after 3 years that will have a little lower failure rate. *que MS business strat*

It's similar to RROD, but again nowhere near the scale. The same strategy applies, you just don't have to doll out a billion like MS did.

 

sony could always man up and offer a 3 year cover like MS has for  its crap, i think it would be best for consumers and kill those in store warranties, also it would show more value in sonys brand if they preemptively did it 

Why? Why would Sony do this, and how is it "manning" up, and why 3 years? If you want them to extend the ps3 warranty to 3 years, why not the Wii? why not the PSP, or DS? Why not TV's, or computers, or ANYTHING else you can purchase? The only reason the 360 warranty was extended was because it had ABNORMALLY high failure rates. If they the 360 had failed at the same rate as other electronic devices, MS would have never, ever, ever extended the warranty, it just wouldn't have made sense.
