I have a pretty new Sony PS3 & i recently noticed that when its on theres this thick black smoke/ fog coming from the back of it. I called Sony for advice & they said they dont know whats causing it & couldnt be of any further help? What the heck am i supposed to do ? The store that i purchased it has closed down so cant take it back there. Gee this console is really poorly designed if its gonna die on me allready!!!

"This console" as in "Your version" of said console is poorly designed.. mine has never had a problem. and black smoke.. right, so there's some kind of fire inside your PS3. most commonly Oil would be burning inside the PS3.

The obvious answer is its the stores fault. They closed down because they wanted to sell faulty systems then run with the money. You got jacked. HAHA.

if any of this were true, Sony would have to swap you a new one. This is a default in their product, Total BS that they would deny you. But I think this story is totally bogus so who gives a F...

lol black smoke...

that's impossible...if something inside the ps3 is burned or dead, you won't see smoke...

and the most amazing thing is that the smoke keeps comming while the console is on... :P

what really blows my mind is the fact that the trolls are thinking about writing "360 is so much better than the PS3!!!" or the other way around.. but if either console is so great. why are they not playing all the great games they both say that they have instead of sitting forums crying about it?

It's sad to see so much hate for the 360 in this thread, you're missing out on another great console. Anyways, ignore the guy as there is a high likely hood that he is trolling.

Black smoke wouldn't come from a ps3. if something was messing up it would be the electronic burning blue smoke. for black smoke to come out, the ps3 would literally have to be on fire with the plastic melting away, at which time it would NOT be working still. Go away troll.

Seems like a troll but either or, you need to get a hold of a better Sony represenative. The only options any Sony represenative would give you is either to do an in-warranty exchange/repair for your broken PS3 or an out of warranty exchange for a fee of $149. I doubt very much they'd turn you away, especially if it's emitting possible harmful smoke. To where if they were turning you away so the technician who'd be "investigating" your console doesn't breath in any of the smoke for health concerns, there would still be alternatives if you asked to speak to a supervisor for specific help concerning the situation.

Smoke should be white/grey not black. I know from experience. Has this topic already been reported?

Heh lots of trolls coming by lately. I remember a few weeks ago I called one on his crap and he messaged me asking me if i was from Nazi germany. It's not really about 360 hate. It is just that soo many 360 fanboys bash the ps3 in the trolling post while praising the 360 so its natural for alot of people to want to retaliate.

nobody likes trolls, espeically ones who bring up huge lies like black smoke coming out of their PS3. What if I titled a thread my dog ate my PS3...that would probably be more logical than your story.
