He also said it doesn't look that bad. And I'm inclined to not discard that either. All my glossy stuff, like the Macbook I'm writing this in, has a bunch of fingerprints. If it was black instead of white, and I took a flash photo of it, I'm sure it would look almost as bad. Besides, who knows how many people touched that thing since it was opened at the warehouse? Clearly it was moved, as the several photos show. And about the dust, it's on the inside of the vents, and ports. How exactly is someone supposed to clean that stuff up without voiding the warranty? Yes, the thing looks like a total mess. But I live in a dusty area, and it doesn't look that much worse that the ventilation areas of my computers. And no, I obviously don't dust the inside of the vents every week. Besides, I've "had to" fix computers (friends and family) with a ton more dust than that. Black dust, brown dust - looks exactly like that. The photos can make it look much worse than it is. I mean, people are acting like there's a huge layer of dust on the thing. You'd stop to think for a second that if there was that much dust, it would fall over and turn into a huge cloud when you moved it upside down like they did for the photos. And souixan, I'm betting I must be a lazy pig now, because I don't dust and vacuum my house every day. Seriously man... get a life. |
Like my above post, I've already disregarded the fingerprints.
Apart from wondering about how much dust there is (especially on the inside), I'm also wondering how hard it is to really clean it up. One way to avoid a mass amount of dust is to keep an area cleaned up, no? There is no way I'm going to say clean up every day since I don't even do that, but it would be a good idea to be like "Okay, I'm seeing a layer of dust on my entertainment center and all of my electronics here, It's time to take five minutes and take care of it".
Please, I use a freaken air compresser to blow out my PC tower every month or two (or whenver I take it home) and my PC is on at least twelve hours a day sitting directly on the carpet. I obviously still want to know what his PS3 looks like on the inside, but unless they caked dust and dirt on the dude's PS3, I find it difficult to want to fully side with him unless more information comes out (such as better photos).
