have the PS3 sent back, pay 150$ for a replacement, or leave it there for 10 days until it gets sent back.

Plus you get a customer service rep with a sour attitude. :hmph:
A user over at consumerist.com contacted them after Sony refused to replace his PS3 that was still under warranty, Sony?s excuse that his console was too "dusty" but when he requested pictures they refused unless they were subpeonaed for them.

"I just got off the phone With PS3 customer support who kindly informed me that my PS3 is "too dusty" to be replaced under warranty. But won?t provide pictures unless they are subpoenaed."

I'm not buying a PS3 at this point. This is just crazy.

It's used in court "a command to appear at a certain time and place to give testimony upon a certain matter". So if he brought Sony to court then they could use the PS3 as evidence and then provide photos.
 
OOOOOHHH... I thought the word subpeonaed was pronounced 'sub-openaed'.. I always thought the word was 'sepena' (it sounds Spanish, doesn't it?).. I never knew how the word was spelled.. I pronounce it like sup-een-uh. huh.
 
Another pro tip: don't tell Sony you're not using Sony brand HDMI cables. I hear that invalidates the warranty too.

Because of this one person's problem? It's certainly not a widespread issue, else it would be all over the internet. It must be one of the outsourced customer service companies. Generally Sony's outsourcing has been alright. This just seems to be one bad case among many good ones. The PS3 is pretty rock-solid. I haven't really heard of any overheating or having that many problems.


Still, you must not have been very gung-ho about getting a PS3 anyway. It's your loss, there are some great games just starting to come out, but it's your choice, so, eh.
 
I was pretty gung ho about getting a PS3, was actually going to get one after my current expenses cleared, but a few hits here and there, then the removal of the backwards compatibility is no good for me. I'll skip it for now, and if I need to get one when the new Final Fantasy comes out, I'll think about it. But until then, I'm going to save my money for something else, possibly 360.

WTF? DID I JUST SAY I'LL BUY A 360? Oh god, I must be sick.
 
I laugh when people say PS3 sucks because of one persons problem. MY PS3 is the finest piece of gaming equipment I own, and I own them all. My 360 and Wii have been collecting dust for the last month. Drakes Fortune, FF13, MGS4, RE5, DMC4, amd GT5 are just some reasons why having a PS3 is going to pay off. Oh and backwards comp was only taken off of the Europeans versions (at the moment.) Probably because Europe blows. =[

But seriously, stop knocking a system that has just as much if not more potential than any of the systems out there. On another note, my Wii will probably get a ton of use once galaxy comes out next week. =]
 
Yeah, this is as funny as it is retarded. My PS3 is also the best piece of hardware I own. Its a really exceptional device capable of much more thatn people give it credit for and it is extremely well-built. I love it, but I also love my Wii and 360. Never a problem with any of them, but the PS3 is best bang for my buck.
 
In the end it depends on the person in question, when I buy a console, all I care about is the games, nothing more, for everything else, I have a high-end PC, so I could care less about the other stuff.

Also, ShinRa, RE5 and DMC4 are both coming to the XB360, so using them as reasons is retarded, no offense.;)

Also, America blows more than Europe, that's why the rest of the world hates America more than Europe.
