So my playstation 3's blu ray drive died on me today. Meaning it cannot read any forms of media (won't load any discs). This is the second time this piece of junk has done this in a 3 month period. I am even more pissed that the original year warranty was over in november, and my new 90 day warranty (I got when Sony repaired this piece of junk the first time) ended 4 days ago. Ironic, that I already have a buy that is willing to pay $3,200 for my playstation 3 setup after I pay Sony $150 to have it repaired with another 90 day warranty. I have friends that play their Xbox 360s roughly 6 hours per day, and most of them have had their xbox 360s since launch. So I am officially converting to Microsoft, since that is where the games now are, and better customer service. Screw Sony. I will NEVER purchase anything with the Sony name again. Thank God they are close of going bankrupt as it is.

It was 5, 000 that were cut. I know bc my cousin is a lead programmer for them in Atlanta (still employed). Yes Sony is not far from bankruptcy. They have shut down 25% of ALL factories across the world. Doesn't sound like a good future for sony. Plus their TVs suck, haha. Their laptops are high and unreliable. Their blu ray players are rated the poorest quality on the market currently. Nothing seems to be going well for them. So no im not an idiot. Read the news. You may learn something. Go to college, you will definitely learn something 🙂

Acutally it is samsung and panasonic that take the highest ratings for blu ray players currently. They have very few firmware issues in comparison to Sony.

My ps3 has been crap, but it didnt go downhill until 11 months after having it. since then it has been a nightmare for me. i am not going with xbox 360. i just realized with me starting graduate school soon, i will not have time to ever play any video games for atleast 2 years.

I know your not getting a 360 any more but still think about this, why would you want to buy a console that is cheaper than a game (guitar hero: world tour). According to many uk sites such as 'game' etc guitar hero is worth more than an arcade 360 + 4 games or a normal premium package…? just shows the small amount of tech in the 360 compared with the ps3

a shame you feel that way, i have bever had any problems with my machine. if i did i am in the fortunate position of earning a good wage, so i would replace it without hesitation. i would never never buy a 360, they vastly inferior and will be replaced by a new system long before the PS3 is finally laid to rest. There is just no potential development for the 360 other than replacement.

I only know two people with 360s and they have both had three or four RRODs each.

Still, good luck with your studies, and any money says you get a Playstation in two years when you are gaming again!!

No James. I am done with Sony. I have never really had any luck with any of their products. My cousin purchased a 42″ lcd from them and it has been a bigger nightmare for him as the Playstation 3 is for me. I went through 4 Sony dvd players in only a year. Yet, I buy some el cheapo dvd from Best Buy 4 years ago, and has never given me a single problem. I have come to the conclussion that it is all Sony's fault for producing inferior products. For those of you who have not had your blu ray drive, then get ready because it will. I just spoke to Jeff from Sony PS3 tech support, they are only reliable for up to 300 hours of cumulative play before they generally start crashing. So ha…..even Sony says they suck. Luckily, I just bought me a new samsung blu ray player. Im happy, I can watch my 60 blu rays again.

Wow you're my idol, you gotz 60 Blu-rays!!!

Shouldn't you also sell/throw away your Blu-ray movies since Sony is the main company behind the Blu-ray Disc Association which came up with the Blu-ray disc format?

must admit you're pretty right about sony : like most large corporations they dont give a f about us : remember how ps2's sold in japan had better , more expensive components ?????…. dont get me wrong , i dislike a xbox , they're crap , the controllers are crap , the upcoming games arent as good as ps3's , but i have never had a prob with my ps3 , and fingers crossed nothing will….having said that i love sony's Playstation system , not the Sony corp. …good luck with your degree.

There are no inconsistencies in my theory. Sony sucks. Enough said. Yes it is true that Sony did give the foundation for the blu ray format. However, since blu ray format has won the format wars…Sony has not played a larger part in comparison to various other manufacturers. Also, it should be noted Sony has lost alot of manpower due to the recession to play larger roles in the electronics world. They obviously didnt invest very well.

yeah , sony sucks , but the Playstation is the best console out (might not be solid , but its still better , proof : the xbox doesnt have a blue ray disc to break down in the first place) , and if you have issues with sony , i have issues with Microsoft… do you think sony still puts cheaper components in non-japanese products??
