ps3 on watchdog next week!

it was just announced at the end of this weeks watchdog that the ps3 will be under scrutiny in next weeks watchdog.

possible good news for 60gb and 40gb owners out of warranty?

 

[Nodiggidy123]

and i just replaced my 60gb with a slim aswell!

we will have to wait and see. ive never had any trouble with either of mine but by the sounds of it a fair few of you have not been so lucky.

Could be excellent if that's the case, will hopefully lead to Sony extending their warranty period for certain faults, as Microsoft did with the RROD...although by all accounts Sony's customer services is very good anyway, for the most part.

well before peaheads thread got closed i posted a link to a thread on the playstation forums bout the bbc wanting to x ray the guys machine. and it said that the presenter solves the problem on watchdogs news page. Whatever he means by that.

What can the ps3 be on watchdog for, if its in warranty it gets repaired for free, if not it doesn't.

Not like it bursts into flames and strangles babies.

i think the whole point is the warranty should be longer. Especially for something that cost 425 at launch

If i buy a £400 TV do i always get a 2 or 3yr warranty with it where ever i purchase it?

You can get an extra 2 yrs for about £25 in several shops for consoles when you buy a new one, its a shame that so many people abused the continous play for Sony consoles so if you dont have a new console you cant purchase extra warranty.

and what if there is a inherrent fault which doesnt manifest itself until after the warranty expires? why should u have to pay for a problem that u did not cause? i believe this is what watchdog is hoping to prove/disprove.

I think the bbc are in trouble here. but remember guys if sony do sue the bbc, its the licence fee payers who will foot the bill,

what a load of tripe, it didnt prove anything other than u can sometimes fix them by cooking it,

 

[Nodiggidy123]

Whilst i agree that giving a longer warranty would be good, it is the way watchdog have critisised sony without providing a shread of evidence to back thier allegations up that im gonna side with sony on this one

 

[Nodiggidy123]

remember if the product is inherrently faulty its the retailer you should be speaking, to not sony.

might have more luck that way, especially now its been on watchdog even the tripe it was. and if enough stores end up having to replace too many consoles then that will directly put pressure on sony.
