[QUOTE="POPEYE1716"]WOW your on your 3rd ps3 and your Wii skips bro you need to take care of your things better than that man seriously no reason you should be on your 3rd ps3(yeah i know ps3 do fail). take better care of your stuff.x-2tha-z
I do look after my stuff. Who said I didn't? Don't assume anything. You have no idea what you're talking about. I have games from the PS1 days that are in pure mint condition. Not a single scratch on the disc.
The first PS3 I had kept crashing. Sony sent me a replacement that also had problems and was covered in scratches and fingerprints. The consoles Sony send you aren't new. They call them re-manufactured.
Instead of getting another one from Sony I took it back to the store, with my receipt from the first PS3, and traded it for a brand new retail 60GB. That one only lasted two months. I had only used it a couple of times for games and watched a few Blu-ray movies. First time it crashed I was using the web browser. Shortly after that Uncharted crashed then the disc drive stopped working.
I've only had my Wii since just before Christmas '07. The very first time I loaded Wii Sports I could here the disc skipping and the game took about 5 minutes to load. I knew there was a problem straight away. The same thing happened with Metroid 3 so I phoned Nintendo and they fixed the problem and had my Wii back to me within a week. The Wii was faulty from the day I bought it. I've worked in warehouses for large retail chains and I've seen how the stock is handled. The Wii could've easily been mistreated and dropped on more than one occasion.
And to the person who asked about firmware I can't say for sure the exact firmware version. My PS3 is always up to date with the latest firmware though so it would've been whatever was the current version at that time. There's been so many different versions who keeps track?
Sorry for writing so much. I know some of you have trouble reading anything longer than three sentences.
That really sucks. I hope Sony addresses this issue because...it may become a big one and nobody wants that happening. I hope things work out for you.
