Forums - Gaming Discussion - Does PSN problem = Red Ring of death.. in losses for Sony??

Lyrikalstylez on 27 April 2011

Seems like this little malfunction is gonna cost Sony alot of money to fix, not to mention the lawsuites and bad publicity PSN is recieving. I hate to say it but this Reminds me of the red ring of death for 360.....How much did Ms lose because of that little disaster?

 

TOUGH LUCK SONY, HOPE YOU GET BACK ON YOUR FEET

Depends, if they arent proved to be negligent it shouldnt be that bad. Their assurance should cover. They still suffer losses from fixing their system and having PSN down though, but were far from a big amount as it is now.

If this turns into a full blown crisis for ID theft for tons of PSN users, then it overshadows the RRoD as much as the sun overshadows the moon. If it just blows over and really no data has been stolen, then the red ring will still be far, far worse then this.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

No.

Because I hate to spend more money in a new consoles (RROD)... PSN is free after all, no money in trash.

RROD victims didn't spend more money. MS fixed their 360's for free. If people had to pay for their own repairs or replace their 360's with their own coin then MS would have profited from the RROD due to people re-buying their consoles as opposed to losing over a billion dollars which is what actually happened.

would you consider leading console sales ytd as something that requires "get back on your feet'?

 

if that's the case, what is Wii and xbox doing right now? crawling?

 

 

PSN is free, now if I had paid fees to access it like the xbox outage during Christmas, i would be mad. However, how mad can you be for something that is giving free??

I'm just talking like a customer and your country MS replace 360 for free... in mine not.

I have friends who bought three 360 because RROD (no warranty).

not true, I informed Microsoft about my RRoD, and was told since I got it over 3 years ago, it does NOT qualify.

had to pay 199 for another one.

Yes. People here in VGC thinks warranty covered all cases of RROD but many 360 are replaced without warranty.
