If I had to guess... I'd say someone was either doing renovations to the house or sanding down the walls of the room it was in... and they forgot to cover it up with a sheet.
Where is the pics of the PS3, I only see dust and dirt?
When I first heard this story I was sideing with the guy, but seeing those pics, Sony is in the right for saying the warranty is void, Even without touching the PS3 for a year the amount of dust and dirt shouldn't be that bad. I feel that I need to take a shower just looking at it.
Sony should of just showed the pictures in the first place and that would of stopped this story before it got so big.
If you bought a 360 Elite and a PS3 and let it sit on your shelve, the PS3 would collect more dust for some reason. Go try it. There's just something about the PS3 exterior that attracts dust more than other consoles.
Did everyone see this comment a guy left on IGN. It had me cracking up for a good 10 minutes.
"The plane that was carrying this thing crashed in a junkyard for 3 days, was found by a Hobo, buried, dug up, and was catapulted through a sandstorm to the Sony HQ. Now THATS an excuse."
"Today, Sony finally agreed to release pictures of the dusty PS3 to validate its claims that the amount of dust on and in the console posed a health threat to the repair technician."
tut tut. typical sony and their poor customer servi.....ohh.
what the hell happened to it? ive never seen a console that dusty....ever. hell the inside of my old PC wasnt that bad. if its that bad on the outside, the fans on the inside must be veey gunked up. was the owener playing it while it was in a bucket of ash or something?
good on sony for even considering fixing it under warranty. that PS3 has clearly been badly treated.
wow lol why would they replace that pos? its like the owner dipped his ps3 in dust....i actually believed that it was real deal that sony wont fix too dusty ps3s and its wrong but i thought it would be usual normal dust...but man lol i can see now why sony wont replace this......
Sony can be a pain with their warranties though. They don't consider burned out pixels to justify fixing lcd screens....unless theres 5 or more pixels in a string or clump.
Well that is filthy, and the black case only makes the dust even more apparent. Still I kinda feel the "health risk" comment was unnecessary from Sony especially if they were even half serious. If the problem was caused by the dust they should had just voided the warranty because the console was handled improperly, and if not they should had just fixed it and sent back as dirty as it was.
haha i laugh at people who actually think this is from a ps3 collecting dust. This guy must keep it outside of his house in the desert. Sully28
Yeah...and with the memory card compartment wide open. That photo is clearly BS. It looks like he intentionally shot dirt AT the machine. If his PS3 is that unbelievably dirty, then what does the rest of his house look like? Does he NEVER clean? That's just gross.
The person who sent it for repair should of wiped all that dust off the PS3 IN THE FIRST PLACE! WhyuStillAlive
How would he explain all the dirt inside the memory card and USB slots? There is no logical or realistic reason for that and it would be difficult to properly clean.

Actually there is a good explanation. The fans inside suck air in through any place that air passes through. The USB ports being one of them. I get a little dust in mine too. Nothing a quick shot with a vacuum doesn't fix though.
