40GB PS3 BD Drive Failure

[TheRamJam]

Hi

Just want to share my frustrations with the Org. My PS3 Blue Ray Drive has failed again. I've only had the thing two years. The first time it failed was Jan 09 and it was repaired by Sony for free under warranty. I thought fair enough they picked up the PS3 and it was returned to me a week later with a working drive.

Some 10 months later and the same dam thing has happened again and now they want £128 to repair it. I'm sore tempted to bin the now useless brick and get an XBOX 360 Elite.

to everyone at Sony lol

say that to sony aim for a good will gesture

Yes, get an elite. They are quite free of the earlier Xbox niggles; my brother has noted his new elite runs considerably cooler than his old premium.

Failure rates on xbox are reported as higher; sounds like you've had some bad luck though

you think you'll be better of with an xbox good luck.

oh yeah and check eu law i think somewhere there's a goods must be covered for at least 6 years somewhere but nobody bother's to look.

Yeah there is some eu law about electrical goods,reckon it's 2 years though possibly 3. Anyway this might still see you right?

xbox's are far better anyway why would you want a crappy playstation and the myth about xbox having more failuress isn't as bad as it sounds, yes it is higher but only slightly, the main difference is your hear about it more than PS3 failures, that's all.

23% vs 10% - apparently

every xbox in our house has gone wrong some multiple times i'm sorry but they are way more unreliable than ps3.
