No, not at all. It's closer to half the price.
You people sound like a bunch of conspiracy theorists.
Can anyone here 'prove' that this article is providing false information and the woman did not have a problem with her system?
Has anyone here been in Australia and required the same repair and got quoted a different price?
The guy who wrote the article in the first place isn't a Microsoft fanboy. He's done articles for many different companies and has actually been very big in the Australian tech scene.
David Richards isn't simply looking for an excuse to bash the PS3, whether the information he got from the woman is incorrect is another story. Even then, maybe it's an isolated incident involving the woman, and just because you're accustomed to dealing with Sony in the US doesn't mean that it's the same for Australia.
Seriously, when a bad story concerning the PS3 comes out you guys just kind of skimp over it and tell yourselves it can't possibly be true.
I live in a world where even Sony CAN make mistakes. So before you start hopping up on soap boxes and talking about how incorrect the article is or insinuating how biased the reporter may be, come at me with some proof rather than wild accusations.

Its an Australian article, if they don't specify it as something like USD then it's going to be Australian dollars that they're talking about..

Thats not the point, the OP should have added the info in the thread title. Because I see multiple people posting "oh repairs cost more then console cost" obviously they are thinking in terms of USD.
But then obviously this is a troll thread so its kinda expected.
It is better to die on one's feet
then live on one's knees

i don't care if this story is true or not. I think bringing car expenses into it is trivial and stupid. completely unrelated. However, I just responded to your post to say... if 5th paragraph is the case he should lose his journalist title

Still 700 x .835= 584.50.....compared to the 400 we pay now?
puffy said:
No the article quite clearly states that that the repairs will cost $315 but the PS3 costs $699 new. It's now $499 after the price drop. And Australian media has no problem with the PS3 for those making such claims.. |
Ah so its just Australians that have to pay that much. Sucks to be them I guess...
