(Can only watch if you live in the UK as far as I'm aware, its near the very very end of the show)

Sony are to feature on the BBC Watchdog program next Thursday with rumours on their official forums saying it is concerning the YLOD issues effecting some of it's machines. I myself (enjoy76) have watched the Watchdog program myself tonight and it is at the end that Anne Robinson the show presenter says "If you own a Sony Playstation don't miss next weeks show".

Anne Robinson and the team right consumer wrongs, tackling the big names and businesses letting viewers down.

Matt Allwright is on the trail of more rogue traders, investigating a man who claims he can cure cancer with his bare hands. Among the other reports, Anita Rani looks into how much salt is in our food, finding products that should not be on the shelves, and Iain Lee solves a problem with one of the best known gadgets in the world - which the manufacturers refuse to fix.

Thats the program info on the website. Does Sony refuse to fix it?

Hopefully SONY can get a spokesperson on and extoll the virtues of the PS3 slim.

Otherwise the BBC may leave people with the impression the PS3 is a dodgy piece of hardware.

Watchdog is not like that. They don't let corporate spokespeople [if they appear] off lightly, and if there is a problem with the thing they don't hold back on evidence or bad publicity.

The PS3's failure rate has probably always been high (see the recent PS3 v. Wii reliablity comparison), but the Xbox being so much higher has made the PS3's level acceptable.

The BBC reported on Brain Training and were quite negative about that, from what I remember, and that didn't slow it down. I doubt a report into potential faults of the PS3 will do it any harm.
