MY PS3 burned up

[JDMBeau]

i wouldnt have got the first wave, i would have waited until like march or so, when the hype dies down, and they get to be in stock.

im planning on getting one then, but not in a hurry, im not a huge gamer, i just like having stuff lol

[cyb593]

dude if you got it from bestbuy just take it up there today and say hey this blew up it no longer works i think they will hold one for you on thenext shipment or any store should do that call them up. but sorry dude that is funny atleast the 360 just got a blue screen of death senario in there glitches. good luck man lol

i think u might have to mail it off to sony....my ps2 that first year it came out messed up and deleted everything on my mem card then wouldnt read any disks...come to find out sony in PA had it for months, i got it back and it still fucked up, i ended up buyin another one...just wait till next year!

[DRFTR]

sony said i was the first one in north america to blow one up so thats pretty cool...the rep is taking care of it and will be sending me another one next week...

[bdydrpdmazda]

well Im glad they are gonna fix it for you, Im not bashing the fact that you waited in line and paid 300 for a game system, I would have done the same fuckin thing if I had been in the states.

Come on bro the first one! Man you know sony is telling you and the other PS3 owners the same shit. Look I'm not hating on you nor do I think it's funny that your system blew up but come on you KNEW this was going to happen because of Sony's history with there systems. The first batch ALWAYS ALWAYS have a LOT of problems and most likely will need replacing. Hope you had fun your first 5hours though. But seriously go get a X-box 360(if you don't have one already). It's the same!!! Man my friend has a PS3 too(only he knows and expects his system to fuck up) and even he said the same thing when playing it....IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN THE 360!!

And no I'm not a sony hater, I have the PS2 and X-360, Gamecube(getting Wii) etc,etc. All around gamer and I just don't see the difference either when playing it at my friends house and gamestop. And people without HDTV's will not either. Hell even with HDTV's you won't know. But anyway I'm sure you're getting another one so hopefully this one will be ok. Good Luck.

^^saying the PS3 and the 360 are the same is like saying Pepsi and Coke are the same, its just not possible.

ahhh..... and remember that coke and pepsi commercial where they blinded the guy and gave him both drinks yes he knew the difference. but lets say you walk into a gamestop and the have the 360 and PS3 side by side covered up with one screen overhead playing a game that's on both systems and they ask "what system is this game being displayed from" could you tell???

NBA live for both system will show in 720p and higher(depending if you HDMI connections for higher resolution)..... I seriously doubt you'll notice a difference. but then again "bdydrpdmazda" what do you think?????

[bdydrpdmazda]

I think there will be similarities, I havent played the PS3 yet but Im gonna as soon as I get a chance, they are two different systems though. Im sure they both have tremendous graphics but the engines they opperate on are soo much different that to say that the PS3 is so much like the 360 that the PS3 isnt worth buying is crazy. The PS2 and original XBOX were also compared in the same way but anybody who has ever played both will tell you that they are nothing alike. Maybe you have only played third party games or something where the game is available for both systems and if thats the case then I could understand how you could reach this conclusion but after sonys first party games start getting hot then I think owning both systems will be a must. Plasma and LCD tvs are already a must if you own either system but thats a totally different thread.

I agree with this and yes the same games on both systems will be no different so we will have to wait to see other first party games on the PS3. I'm sure the PS3 will represent on that part, but the 360 does also.

The LCD and Plasma thing is definetly a whole different thread, but which one do you have?? I have a 2004 model Zenith(LG; Lg ownes Zenith) 17" LCD HDTV Ready tv w/ built in DVD player that shows in 480i,480p,720 and 1080i resolutions via componet inputs, S-video, 2 other sets of video/audio inuts, optical sound etc,etc. Yeah it's just a 17" but plenty for my small room here and when it first came out it was $1500!! Of course I got it for cheaper than that So the PS3 and 360 will look it's best on my tv(except for the 1080p which is not on my tv)

[B18C-4]

LOL at u for payin 600 bucks for a gaming system.. and it tearing up w/ no chance of gettin a new one anytime soon

Yea thats gotta fuckin suck..

I have a 42 inch LG plasma, not sure what the resolution is, my wife bought it for me as a welcome home gift, I havent even gotten a chance to watch it yet.

[On_Her_Face]

sucks.. i cant wait to get one, i got the 360 when it first came out and had no problems.. i wonder how many ps3 are going to blow up b4 christmas? bet is a bigger number than microsofts

[IggyBcool]

Damn man sorry to hear your luck. I'm going to wait until they get them back in stock for the most part and get some of the bugs worked out... No point in spending 600 bucks on something thats going to tear up..

[bdydrpdmazda]

Its one of the risks you take when you buy the first wave but they have a warranty so its not like its a waste of money, it will just be a bitch to get a new one with the shortage.

[imbosile]

did you guys not read the part where he said sony is shipping him one next week with games, and other accessories?

hopefully he's not joking, because that would be awesome if Sony is really doing this

Yeah I read every post in this thread, others might not be so lucky though, maybe he just got in touch with the right rep.

[IggyBcool]

Well thats cool, atleast he got out lucky of the whole deal. my luck Sony would be like Fuck youuuu buddy!

[IggyBcool]

But just out of curiousity, I wonder with the new shipments and later shipments if in the mean time Sony will continue to release bad PS3's or put a hold on production until they can completely fix the problem?

[bdydrpdmazda]

Not all of them are bad and the demand is so high that they are gonna put every PS3 on the shelves that they can. They will just continue to replace the deffective ones.

[3KRYPTANITE5]

KABOOM!

[n2daizo123]

They should have issued the ps3 to the troops in iraq before they did anything. I would make thier stay a little bit better.

[bdydrpdmazda]

hell yeah they should have but there are about 150,000 of us so that would have been almost half of the consoles they had for launch.

[Evil Goat]

hell yeah they should have but there are about 150,000 of us so that would have been almost half of the consoles they had for launch.

worldwide launch that is, the us got less than 150k units

[Frög]

fuck sony, i hate how they raised the price on gaming.. games are 100 buxs and i heard that for Grand turismo, you will have to buy track and cars with money to download them to you system..

[bdydrpdmazda]

The US got close to 400K units.
