The failure rate is 16 percent according to CNET so while no where near the Xbox fail rate its still poor.

I would just keep on at them and hope that they eventually crack.

Its a little cheeky but say the console is your childs (whether you have kids or not) and that they are heart broken.

If you get no reply send a second letter along with a photocopy of the original asking for the courtesy of a response.

If that fails get nasty.....You tube videos nearly always shame SONY into action.
