A certain ‘games journalist’ (me – Gamoc) had his Playstation 3 die yesterday. It stopped reading disks of any kind. This was a bad thing, as it can not be fixed. So I took it back to Game (with the receipt) and they replaced it (unfortunately with a 40gb).
Now, the point is that, whilst I was waiting for my replacement 40gb, I couldn’t help overhear (from where I was eavesdropping) a small conversation between two employees:
‘This is getting worse.’
‘What is?’
‘PS3s being returned.’
‘Yes I know.’
At this point they made a bad joke about a PS3 disease, I’ll spare you that horror. So could this be true? Are more and more PS3s breaking down? Well, whatever you say, we think that Sony need to fix this before it gets too out of hand. We don’t want to end up like Microsoft now, do we?
