Sony Fans Should Thank MS

Yer and I suppose you also READ about the PS2(which is still for sale) DVD drive of death ?...

Scroll down half way to Controversies

E.g -
Owners of early PS2 models purchased from launch until spring 2003 often reported faulty optical drives in their consoles. The earliest drives suffered from a constantly misaligning laser lens, which could also result in discs being scratched by the lens. Later defects were the result of a shift in voltage to the laser. The first problem was easily remedied by opening the console's casing and tweaking a cog that controlled the lens's distance from the disc; however, this action voided the console's warranty. The second problem could be fixed by using an oscillator. After many consoles had broken down, a class action lawsuit was filed against Sony. Sony agreed to provide free repair or replacement for the faulty consoles and continued to do so until February 2005.[citation needed]

Another problem that could cause a disc read error is wear on the coupling in the head assembly to the worm gear that moves the laser. A symptom of this is a loud repetitive clicking sound. Nevertheless, this problem rarely occurs on newer consoles.[citation needed]

I had 3 of the PS2s replaced 1 wouldn't read discs the other two sounded like two cogs with brocken teeth grinding together every time the tray was opened..
Didn't stop the PS2 becoming the worlds best seller though did it?..

Propaganda on the internet is easy -
E.G
I know someone who has had 4 PS3s all due to the dust problem they are known to have.
I have READ about people getting the latest 40 gig PS3 and are having heating issues.
Is this true or bull ? you will never know that's the power of internet propaganda

The Elite is a superb machine it runs cool and quite instead of READING try going and asking people in the REAL WORLD......
