My PS3 is Boogared
 

Just finished level 3 of Call of Duty 5 World at war (anniversary present from Kerri).

Then the screen went blank and froze and now it won't read any games.
Reckon the BlueRay drive is knackered

:(

Really annoyed as I was literally excited like a child when I was putting it into the machine.

On the phone to Sony me thinks.

let it cool down fully, maybe an overheating thing

Just phoned sony. They confirmed that the Laser is fubared. They are coming to collect it on Friday and it will be returned to me 10 days later.

Good Service but if the damn thing wasn't made in China in the first place they wouldn't have a 65% failure rate on these consoles.

Had the same with mine and they replaced it with a 'reconditioned' unit. The turnaroudn was about 3 days so not too bad.

Re: My PS3 is Boogared
 

Should have bought an Xbox........















They only had a 42% failure rate


Some one had to say it lol

Re: My PS3 is Boogared
 

Really?

TBH I think those figures are all BS. I've had 6 XB360's since it launched and so far only 1 PS3. My poor brother is on XB number 8!!

My Wii however is fine and dandy. :)

Re: My PS3 is Boogared
 

360s are terrible for failures. i dont know anyone who hasnt had to send theirs back at least once. the stats i heard were that 360s have a 33% chance of failure a year, so after 3 years its probably gonna go.

Re: My PS3 is Boogared
 

I think they must have run out of units to replace mine with :)

I would prefer mine back tho as although it is 7months old it is pretty much brand new condition and hasn't had much useage.

Re: My PS3 is Boogared
 

You should consider yourself lucky! At work, we have a project that has a 99% fault rate. We're still sending units out of the door very rapidly, despite the client knowing the fault rate!

I kid you not.

Re: My PS3 is Boogared
 

What are you making that has a 99% failure rate???
Someone needs to get the sack :) ;)
