A former fellow Sony employee called me to say, "Aren't you glad you didn't get a PS3!  All your private info would be out."

As I had debated back and forth for a long time between the two HD consoles.

I think the harm is how long the general public remembers it.  I had a Wii gaming friend laugh at me and say, “what? The ones that catch on fire?” when I told him I was getting an X360.  People remembered the catchphrase ‘the Red Ring of Death’ long after it wasn’t a problem.  (They even ask about the new model X360S.)

It also depends on if someone comes up with a catchy name for the PSN downage.  RROD has a cool ring, and people repeat it.  Plus the total amount of damage to people’s privacy – which is yet to be seen.

“Oh no! Not the Sony Anon-A-Net?”

 (Remember the SAAN of 2011-2012?)



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.
