Home should set up a fight club, a simple, Tekken-style battle arena. And a carnival. Add those and I might actually give it another shot.

The best thing in Home is that area where you can go and drive an airplane through hoops. And even that sucks ass.

The best thing about Home is that you can completely ignore that it exists when using a PS3.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - resolutions are meant to be broken
I called Sony just a bit ago...swapping out for a slim...$150.
Slightly less painful than expected. |
Re: The Official PS3 thread - resolutions are meant to be broken
And canceling the Amazon order?

Slightly less painful than expected. For what it's worth, I don't think most of these failures are firmware update-related. I just think they're hardware failures due to quality/manufacturing problems. The PS3 gets firmware updates at a pretty frequent rate and so when one of these failure happens, people think, "I updated the firmware recently, I bet that caused the problem" but there's hardly ever really a point in time where the firmware hasn't been updated recently. I wish Sony would own up to these problems and offer better service. My PS3 has only seen light use in the two years I've owned it (~40 movies watched and only 3 games played) in a temperature controlled room with an air purifier running constantly. It should have lasted much longer under those conditions. |
Re: The Official PS3 thread - resolutions are meant to be broken
Well, looks like I did something stupid. I ordered MAG when it showed up in my gold box and there was a Discover special. When people were posting that the demo wasn't so hot, I thought I had cancelled it on Amazon, but apparently, I didn't. Now I have the game arrive today in my office.
I'm not much for multiplayer games at all, but this might be the kind I like (one where I can hide out and my utter failings aren't so obvious or hurting any other player -- I like Battlefield 1943 for that reason). The game only cost me $44 after those two discount AND came with a $10 game credit that I can certainly use. So the question is should I return this game that I don't know if I have any real interest in for $34 net cost or should I try and return it (which would probably cost me $4 in shipping cost since I guess it was my mistake)? I'm torn on this, but I guess I'd be able to sell it for $30-$40 if I hated it.... |

My 60GB is still running fine, but it is obvious from the many threads on the PS forums and around that I am just lucky at this point. Microsoft made the right move by at least admitting the problem and making the warranties 3 year. They won over upset customers. Sony is just driving more of them to the 360. |

I had to have my Wii repaired twice too.

Microsoft made the right move by at least admitting the problem and making the warranties 3 year. They won over upset customers. Sony is just driving more of them to the 360. Eventually when you have a fail rate of 40 to 50 percent you will have to own up to it whether you want to or not. It is still common knowledge that the ps3 failure rate is still no higher than 10 percent which is still much lower than 360 which according to gamespot is somewhere around 24 percent. Although microsoft is slowly taking that number down it's kind of ridiculous that it is taking this long. the numbers are obviously non scientific and they were run by squaretrade who does the online warranties SquareTrade has issued a survey of 16,000 game consoles it serviced from the second quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2009. The report analyzed approximately 2,500 PlayStation 3s, 2,500 Xbox 360s and 11,000 Wiis selected at random. (The company found Wii owners much more likely to buy warranties.) All consoles had been purchased new and had not been damaged by their owners. As with the Game Informer study, SquareTrade found that the Xbox 360's failure rate was far higher than its rivals. Some 23.7 percent of those surveyed failed within two years of purchase: 12 percent from the infamous "Red Ring of Death" and 11.7 percent from other problems, including the "E74" error. Both problems are covered by the 360's three-year manufacturer's warranty, which the company began offering in 2007 for a cost of over $1 billion. Historically, the 360 is more than twice as likely to fail as its rivals. By contrast, the study found 10 percent of PlayStation 3s surveyed failed within two years of purchase, as did 2.7 percent of Wiis. However, SquareTrade pointed out an April survey by media-research firm Nielsen that concluded the Wii is the least played of the three major consoles, being used for only 516 minutes per month. By contrast, the Xbox 360 is played over twice as much (1,191 minutes per month), with the PS3 lagging slightly behind it (1,053 minutes per month). |

You get all your money back and get a 10 dollar amazon gc. You win |

I hope it doesn't come to that because the PS3 (80GB model w/4 USB ports and memory card reader) has been upgraded to 500GB internal and 1TB external drive. It works great as a media jukebox and combined with my PSP-Go makes an amazing media combo. |
Re: The Official PS3 thread - resolutions are meant to be broken
My PS3 is also the nerve center of my entertainment center.
I'm told that it "only does everything"...except last more than 3 years...apparently. :( |

Re: The Official PS3 thread - resolutions are meant to be broken
Can't they fix that in an update?

Re: The Official PS3 thread - resolutions are meant to be broken
Something I've been meaning to ask cos it's always weirded me out. When I first installed and formatted my 500GB HDD, the PS3 said that it was actually a 465GB HDD and that there was only 415GB available without any saves yet ported over. I knew there'd be a discrepancy since the old 60GB HDD registered as having 55GB but why such a huge difference with the new HDD?
