Ignorant FOX news bashes PS3

If youve seen the pics of the system up close that were posted on the forums, you would realize that it was abused and neglected. I take extra special care of my unit. Its the kids fault. Sony has every right torefuse repair

OMG...I bet he is a MS employee and he literally left that in Gobi desert for a week. And MS paid FOX news to have that interview to make it look bad...seriously, the RROD should make it to the news not that messed up douchbag.

I know that Sony shouldn't be so stingy on that because they did replace my store's rental PS3, but that guy claimed that Sony said it's harzard is obvious a lie to make people hate Sony and sympathsize him, and anyone who owns a PS3 know that PS3 is very durable, no way it breaks down by measly dust. Juding from that picture, it's obvious that it's no dust, more like dirt!

What is up with you people and thinking that microsoft pays off everyone. Seriously grow up. Fox news has always been trash imo but enough with the microsoft pays off this person or that company etc. Its getting really lame.

do you know how strong the media's influence is and how easily they can manipulate the facts?

My question why didn't he ever clean his PS3. He saw dirt was getting on it, and he never took any responsibility to clean his stuff. It's not Sony's fault for his problems it is his own.

That kid is a pig and I feel sorry for his girl. I say we all start a donation fund to purchase him a clean pair of underwear.

Dust - yes - DUST - can and will break down electronic devices, especially those with optical drives like DVD players and Blu-Ray players. Some dusts can also be conductive and may short out sensitive electronic components. His PS3 is a clear case of NEGLECT and HE is responsible for it. If any one of us does not keep up the recommended oil changes on our cars and the engine ceases, NO car manufacturer is going to give you a new engine - why? - because it's YOUR fault and stupidity that's responsible.

In other news, could this be a dirty op by MS to give the PS3 bad press? I mean seriously, I dust my PS3 every now and then, but for it to pile up on the dust like that...unless I lived out in wind dust city...hard to believe.

And you know what? I bet there's a good chance that if he just opened up and cleaned the whole PS3, inside and out - it might actually work again.

I HAVE A SOLUTION YOU MORON TAKE CARE OF YOUR ELECTRONICS!!!!

Doesn't Fox and MS have some sort of business relationship? I know Fox Sports Online website does with MSN. And there you have it.

That console looks disgusting. It doesn't look like he took care of it at all. Id be ashamed to even have someone see that thing if it were mine.

Why does anyone care what FOX has to say anyways....they haven't reported any REAL news in years. And the kid with the dusty PS3, he shouldn't get his system replaced but it looks like he is working the system and if he complains about it enough to get a preoblem for SONY they will probably give in.themitko

They DID actually and it has heavily influenced American just over SEVEN years.

As of lately I haven't seen anything important on FOX news,nothing about the real situation in the world or other countries or this country for that matter. Everything they say is sugar coated or just ignorant. I watch BBC news for real information

no liberal media can be trusted these days.

Seriously people how did you get so far up sony's arse?

Sure the thing is dusty no guff.. the thing collects dust like a maniac.. so by the looks of it this guy did not wipe of his ps3 since he bought it.. which was only a year ago and it should not void warranty like that..

sony should just give him a new one and avoid all this 360 like warranty crap. But the solution to this is quite simple.. make them send it back .. when the guy receives it just wipe it off and then send it back again stating that you took care of the hazardous material and it thus being safe to repair.

that should solve that.

Fox News is the Republican equivilant of Al-Jazeera/Nazi Propoganda.newfg311

Not wiping a console should not void a warranty. My PC gets really dusty at times but that's not affecting anything inside and opening a console voids the warranty. So the kid never bothered to wipe his console big deal. He should have at least wiped it off before sending it for repair but not to repair it because it has dust outside is just rediculous. I guess it's his fault for sending it in that conditition.

I did say Fox news is trash. CNN is better imo. Just because some stupid kid doesn't take care of his system doesn't mean that microsoft payed off Fox news to broadcast that.

I work at BestBuy and I cansay that...

Dust does not void the warranty for computer under a Best Buy PSP (Performance Service Plan)

It's considere NWNT (Normal Wear and Tear)

However, Sony is different and they have their own stupid rules.

Getting a repair through them was a breeze for me. They sent me the box recently and I shipped it off and just a few days ago I got the email telling me they shipped me a new console.

Its really that simple. YES they do require a receipt. Its part of the Warranty agreement. If you don't like it. Too bad soo sad.

As for the dust issue. They should repair it. Its really dusty, I agree....but you have to treat customer better than this.

I'm wondering if half the posts are even informed to the actual condition of the console being discussed. It's not normal dust. It's as if the dust of the world had a global conference and hosted it in this particular PS3. It's borderline dirt, like the Motorstorm commercial actually took place in his living room.emitsu97

Maybe Sony should just replace the console to avoid any negative media attention. I mean, lets face it, at this moment in time, the PS3 isn't doing all that well compared to other systems. Maybe Sony would be better off helping out its customers.

That being said, I would hate for them to do anything like that when clearly the kids just been too lazy to maintain his PS3 and keep it in a working condition. I mean it looked like he had been storing it inside a vacuum cleaner which was still in use.

They should repair his console for good press, but have a warning for this in the future stating they aren't resonsible for how a person treats their console. shadowfox55

I don't know who was worse. The kid who should not have his console replaced or the stupid pundit who didn't know his ass for his elbow. I had to stop the video because I couldn't watch anymore. When the guy said "nintendo had dust problems with the original nintendo, remember how you had to blow on the cartidges to make them work?" Meanwhile saying everything in a condescending tone. Dust had nothing to do with that problem with the NES. Bad design was the issue causing the conacts to warp. Blowing just made better connection abaility by adding moisture. But would add corrosion too, which made one feel they were making it work.

My PS3 has no dust at all on it. You have to have your system in a confined space to have that much dust like this guy did. The only reason to replace it free is because he has many Sony electronics to have good relations. Otherwise, people should learn they can't neglect their stuff and except other people to pay for it.
