I can almost gaurantee with 99% certaintity that the failure is due to you having the console in a poorly ventilated space without regularly cleaning the dust off/out of the console. Of course you'll deny that and try to blame it on Sony. |
You know, I was just about to write how happy I was that everyone was being supportive of the GAMER and not the FACELESS CORPORATION, and then I saw this. Thanks, I knew someone would say this, the only uncertainty was who and when.
I am on my second 60 GB PS3. When the first one died, the drive just stopped reading ANYTHING. All other functions were usable. Well, I went on the Sony US forums and posted for help. I was immediately labled a stealth X-Bot and a troll. Nobody even offered to help. Hell, nobody offered me anything except accusations. My PS3 was barely (1 month) out of Warranty, but SONY would do nothing. I eventually tracked down one of the last few 60's in the region, bought it, and sold the other one on E-bay as a broken unit.
If this one breaks, then I am done with Sony. Screw them. "Sony" used to mean quality, but my Sony RDR-GX7 DVD-R unit failed due to optics as well. Before some Sony warrior comes in here and tells me it's my fault here are a list of consoles I have used and their current status.
