What's happening to my PS3 Slim metalic buttons panel?

Ok so it seems like Sony is using lower quality materials for the Slim because it's been two months a some days more since i bought my Slim and the metallic panel were the on and eject buttons are located is losing the metallic color. It looks like a small stain but it's not a stain it is actually that the panel losing the metallic paint.

Before you ask, yes i take good care of the system and i rarely use the on button cause i use the Bravia Sync feature.

hmm....thanks for letting us know. I'm thinking twice before buying a PS3 now.

plastics tend to do that. Arctic_Grillz

my nephew own a ps3 slim i think its ugly and cheaply made.i prefer the look of the fats still have my 60gb launch zero problems so far. but fading after repeated touchingthats normal with plastic.

i have a slim as well, i see it as if the button still works, then you're good, but if it bothers you that much, send it back to Sony for a replacement

sony had 2 cut alot of corners 2 get the price down. even this cheaply made slim didnt save them enough in the end.

not being rude or anything but do you look at the metalic bar when you play your ps3??.. its not that big of a deal losing some paint nothing will stay new forever if the system is working 100% should be good enough right my ps3 has a nuch or scratches deep ones 2 from stuff falling on it but still works fine so im happy lol

The important parts of the console (CELL, HDD, AV ports) aren't cheaply made, just parts of the casing. And if you're 360 owner you should have no problems with cheap parts on the casing :p

Lessons to be learned:

1. Do not touch PS3's power and eject buttons with wet or soiled hands.

2. Do not excert too much pressure when pressing the power and eject buttons.

Whoa then in that case I'd not turn it on manually. I'll use the controller and I'll be gentle when ejecting games!!!!!!! :oSim_genius

[QUOTE="violian"][QUOTE="Adziboy"] Because a button is less of a colour than what it used to be. Nice reasoning. I'm not getting an Xbox because it's 1mm too short for me.yoda4ps3

[QUOTE="violian"] Twice, partly because I'm a really happy 360-owner already and the idea of the PS3 being cheaply made is another justification for me to not spend money on another console. violian

Well if you have saw a PS3 the metallic area is very small. Anyway it's not big deal, what matters more is the inside. The outside of your 360 looks like the first time cause it is a very old electronic look like box and doesn't have many details like the eject and power buttons light up feature plus no logo inscribe on it. Well at least the inside is better than other systems and it works perfectly plus i can watch Blue Rays, play online free and no need to pay $100.00 for Wi-Fi.

And yes you're right they should have made all black if this is going to happen even if it is a bit in the long run, i don't think a small metallic plastic of higher quality will cost them a lot.
