After a month of waiting/hoping on a fix in a new system update from Sony, a week ago it arrived and we downloaded it (3.10 was the update number). Well…that made things even worse. None of our game discs would load so we could play them at all (at least before they’d play for a few minutes). Their forums began filling with countless people who now had completely broken PS3 consoles, so I knew I wasn’t alone.

I called Sony’s customer service number and “John” had me to a system restore of some kind to try and fix it. That didn’t fix the issue(s) and he said there was nothing else they could do and that I’d have to send in my console and pay them $150.00 to fix it. I told him that I should not have to pay anything since it was clearly their update(s) that caused the console to break, regardless of my warranty expiring. Sony broke my working console (and thousands of others) and are now trying to get a whopping $150 from me? I don’t think so.

This isn’t the first time I’ve had a bogus Sony product, but the other time it happened I wrote it off as…sometimes a company that mass-produces products will have some come off the assembly line as bunk. I was forgiving and gave them more of my money….but the buck stops here. I will never give them a fucking cent of my money again and I strongly encourage you to not buy Sony products.

I realize that I’m some guy you don’t know, but all I can say is that I’m a nice guy who is being honest with you about my experience. I have a $300 paperweight and they don’t give a flying fuck. That’s not to say that Samsung, LG, or one of the myriad of other companies who will be getting my money from now on won’t screw me over….but apparently this is all I can do and just hope that you read this and decide to give your money to anyone other than Sony.

Thanks for listening

if you’ve already seen it, then go there again because they’re constantly adding to and changing the site. some of them are bleh while others are brilliantly executed. i hadn’t been there in many months and noticed they have a way for you to do your own lolcats captions for the site.

Well gang, he figured out our scheme. Damn you, Jim Rutz….damn you.

On to Plan B where our recruits hypnotize the newborn babies in the hospital before they go home. This time, we won’t leave a trace for the likes of Rutz to take to forensics.
