Avatar so EPIC it broke my PS3!

Star67 · 2010-04-29 02:59:59

Tittle says it all. Half way through the movie it stopped working. BAM yellow light of death. Called Sony and they are replacing my orginal 60GB ps3 wilth a new slim one for $150. However, after a few google searches I found out Avatar (on Blu Ray) was doing this to other Blu Ray players. I searched even more for Sony ps3 news regarding this. I found nothing. Do any of you know if i can get some money coming my way or get my ps3 replaced for free? oh and I advise everyone on here to be carefull watching this movie on their ps3.

Hey, at least you're getting a new PS3 Slim! Too bad it can't be this one:

[QUOTE="Ultrabeatdown55"][QUOTE="hazelnutman"]Avatar is a decent movie and all, but am I the only one who wants to punch a kitten to death when the commercials starts spouting crap like "BEST MOVIE EVER MADE" and stuff like that? The story was a piece of crap, but the action was great - I'll give it that. Unfortunately, I don't watch movies purely for action, so because of that, the experience was forgettable. But anyways, tough luck on the PS3, TC. Hope you get it fixed soon, but I would avoid paying Sony if I were you. 150 bucks is kind of a ripoff when there are plenty of alternatives at extremely cheaper prices.

How was it forgettable... Even though you may not have enjoyed the story did the world of Pandora not completely suck you in? I know it did for me...

One word: cliche. They were going in the right direction at the beginning, but James Cameron decided "LOL, LET'S GO GENERIC HOLLYWOOD!". Thus, cliche. Thus, forgettable.

You could search for ways to fix ylod yourself online dude.Solid_Tango

Don't do this. It only works for like a month and then breaks again. I did it twice and it doesn't work anymore. Permanently unfixable

That's terrible. Good thing I felt Avatar was hugely overrated and have zero intention of buying its Blu-Ray.

This. I also feel sorry for people that rush out and buy it because it has no extras and no 3D, both of which they're putting into a re-release of the film later THIS year.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I watched it for over an hour, got bored and turned it off. The graphics are definitely amazing no question, but the story is laughable and so cliche.. which I guess you can say for pretty much 90% of hollywood movies.

Yea, the story was ok but what I really loved about the movie was the world of Pandora. I actually had a dream that I was a Pandorian. :?

I loved everything about the movie. You all expect too much.
