I haven't had the PS3 for even 5 months. How long does the original warranty last? I'm sure as hell not paying $150 for a repair on a system I just bought and don't use much.

Should be a year so you should be good. Just call their tech support and get a box so you can get it repaired.

Will the repair last me awhile? I just don't want to look forward to having to repair it again in a year or two.

I really haven't heard about a large number of people having this issue. I wouldn't worry about it. My PS3 is 18 months old gets used a ton for movies and games and hasn't had any disc read problems. I don't think it is a widespread issue.

My PS3 was already set for PCM, so I guess I need to find another solution. :(

I'll be live-blogging commentary about the Sony conference on VGT's home page when it starts in an hour. There are numerous video feeds on the web and it's being carried on G4 for those near a TV.

darkside 07-15-08 12:35 PM

I'm just glad Sony is going last so I can get the stink of the Nintendo conference off of me. The PSP already has the update for the movies and TV so I'm sure that will be announced.

I'm hoping Sony has some stuff to download after the conference, but we will probably have to wait for Thursday.

pinata242 07-15-08 12:38 PM

Think we'll get God of War 3 first or last?

LorenzoL 07-15-08 01:19 PM

My question is will Sony be announcing any good games for the PSP in this conference?

pinata242 07-15-08 01:37 PM

And we're off.

Mazje 07-15-08 01:40 PM

Think a price cut is coming this fall/Christmas?

pinata242 07-15-08 01:40 PM

Jack Tretton just called out Jack Palance (yes, that guy) for being dead.

darkside 07-15-08 01:54 PM

Nice start with Resistance 2. The Jack Palance thing was weird though.

pinata242 07-15-08 02:00 PM

:lol: Great use of Little Big Planet.

Michael Corvin 07-15-08 02:05 PM

Two posts in 20 minutes? Ouch... is it going that bad?

pinata242 07-15-08 02:07 PM

Nah, just nothing of substance. Some Resistance 2 stuff. LBP level used to showcase the charts and graphs (kotaku said it was coming October, but I must've missed that announcement).

PS3 greatest hits.

PS2 showcase and talk now.

pinata242 07-15-08 02:08 PM

New PS2 - Lego Batman & JL: New Frontiers bundle for $149 :)

pinata242 07-15-08 02:11 PM

Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty on PSN

Features "Light & Dark gameplay" for all you lovers of the mechanic out there :lol:

$14.99 this summer. Beginning of episodic releases?

Liver&Onions 07-15-08 02:13 PM

lol

180 million content downloads since launch. - and half of then are still going.

Michael Corvin 07-15-08 02:16 PM

We're not interested in filling up our stores with titles no one wants to play just so we can say we have the most, Tretton says.

:lol: Supposed to be a stab at the 360 but sounds just like the PS2 plan.

Pretty underwhelming on-demand video service demo. New service is available tonight. Moving on to the PSP...

redbill 07-15-08 02:34 PM

I didn't catch it if they mentioned it - live streaming was studdering. Did they say how the rental model works?
