i trust sony. why? i have been very unlucky with a lot of technology. it either breaks, doesnt do what it was intended to or doesnt live up to what it was intended to do. i have never had this problem with a product from sony and the ps3 is starting to do everything they told us it would do. they always appear to offer the best technology that is normally worth its money but to costly for me. for example i want the satio from sony ericson. for the technology thats in it, it is good value but i cant afford it at the moment, same as when the ps3 was released.

yeah i have skipped a couple of pages so yeah lazy but im going to say anyway.

the ps3 failure rate isnt exactly that high its just been attacked lately as a result of the bbc watchdog's unfair and bias report. as for the firmware sony dont normally make them mistakes and if it is there fault yeah they should be replacing it no questions asked.

oh and as for the bit about making money sony have run up a $6.5 billion debt sense realeasing the ps3.  to me they are more about inovation than making money

I don't mean to call you out, but Sony is known for firmware updates that cause a lot of problems.  It just isn't normal for the FW update to brick the console.

 

The firmware bricking isn't wide spread, but just imagine if you were one of these poor bastards that had the misfortune.  Would you not be very upset?  Or would you say ahh shucks, no biggie and then go buy another system?  I know I would be ready to go smash something.

i dont no how many people had there ps3 break because of the firmware update and yeah i should have said the one that break the console.
i know that the latest one was to fix a problem with the one before it. (something to do with uncharted)

i would be annoyed if it was because of the update and if it is the update sony should like you said own up to it and replace them but for the hardware failure all electronics have a chance of breaking down and the industry has set an industry stand of 3% of the total sold breaking down because of this.  i only no that sony told the bbc the uk breakage was less than 0.5%.  so if my console was to break because of the electronics i would be annoyed but i wouldnt blame sony but if it was because of something they done i would blame them
