remember the guy who called about dust voiding his ps3?? weell(cough cough)

Just to make sure everyone is aware, the warranty was NOT voided for "excessive dust," it was voided for "Abuse/Neglect," which in this case takes the form of so-much-dust-he-must-live-in-a-construction-site.

Not saying this makes it absolutely okay, but it does change the discussion a tad. I think we can all agree that abuse and neglect are reasonable exceptions for warranties; otherwise, companies would have to repair products even if they were smashed with a hammer or left out in the rain for days on end.

The real question is: does this constitute "Abuse/Neglect?" I think so, but I can understand people thinking otherwise. Also keep in mind: Sony offered the man a refurbished Playstation 3 for 130 dollars.
