Looks like I'll need to go down that route as PlayStation support have told me it's out of warranty and will cost £240 to repair.

I'll probably need to post in GD to see if anyone has ever challenged a 1 year warranty, and how they went about it. :(

At that price I'd be wondering about a house insurance claim, although the soga (or whatever its called now) should be valid. I'd expect and expensive console to last at least 5 years.
 
I'm going to get a quote from a local electronics repair shop, but not holding out much hope. I think I'll need to give my credit card company a call and see what they say.

I thought premature console failure had stopped with the 360 (although I realise its impossible to have 100% pass rate).

With what, 20m PS5's sold, even a conservative fail rate of 1% would mean there are 200k faulty units out there - no electronics manufacturer is going to be producing something complex like a PS5 and not expecting some failures.
This isn't "premature console failure" you're just starting to hear about the expected number giving up the ghost.
This is nothing like the 360 - which was borderline criminal with what they pushed out to users.
 
Just an update for those that may have to go through this in future.

Sony want £240 to either repair or provide a refurbished unit (if repair isn't possible). Postage is included as they are providing a pre-paid label. The repaired unit is guaranteed for 3 months.

Having discussed a bit further with the call handler, he agreed that consumer rights states that the console should have lasted longer than 1 year, however that contract is not with Sony it's with the retailer (Argos). I intend to have the console repaired and then attempt to recoup the costs from either Argos or the credit card company. Having evidence of a manufacturer repair (invoice) should support the claim.

the problem i have with vr headsets is its uncomfortable to use for long periods i've never had a valve index i've heard good things about how comfortable it is when using it.

i wonder how long before Oculus launch Quest 3 now they know the specs of the PSVR 2.
 
Porter Bridges has joined the PlayStation Studios banner, people are speculating that Sony has bought Kojima Productions, which would fit their M.O.
 
Anyone having problems since the last update ?

Seem to have an issue now where nothing works until I have deleted and then re added the wifi every time.
