My Junkyard

As I have told you in my previous posts my Playstation 3 is not working correctly. It won’t read any discs anymore. The Playstation helpdesk advised me to do all kinds of restore actions and finally mentioned that the update of this week might help……

After installing the update yesterday the drive still doesn’t work.. So I’ve called the Playstation helpdesk ones more. The conclusion is that the drive is faulty (duh)……

Since my playstation is 1,6 years old it is not covered by warranty Sony sais.. This means that my expense release playstation 60 GB is basicly lost in just a small period of time. Sony mentioned when they released this platform that the Playstation 3 would at least last 10 years.. Well, maybe it will be on the shelves this long, but you’ll need to buy at least 6 Playstation 3’s to get to this period????

I’ve been reading online regarding this issue and it seems Sony is aware of this issue and is removing posts from their own forum. This tells me they know they have an issue with the first released Playstations…

Thanks Sony for picking my pockets and not replacing a faulty system which clearly has some design issues……

I’ve spent for more than 1500 euro’s on Playstation stuff (games, camera, extra controllers and the damn thing itself) and this is the support you can expect………….

 Several consumer actions are starting up at the moment, hopefully Sony will come to it’s sense and replace these systems…..

Untill then be carefull buying this machine or try and get longer warranty……
