Just thought i'd say how my PS3 was doing.
Still same message. The unit is "still on backorder". I got yelled at by support manager for calling and complaining about my inconvenience (friendly SCEA!) which is weird because all the regular support people are all like "we're soo sorry for the inconvenience we'll make it right we promise dont worry :)".
Anyhow, If I dont get a PS3 in 15 days, I'm emailing a corporate exec for SCEA and asking them to help. if they cant help, I'm cancelling my order for a refurb, and buying an XBOX 360!
Yes, I know, I've supported PS3 for so long, but this support incident is the icing on the cake. I mean, why should I pay Sony to give me a new console if it was their manufacturing error? If anything, Sony should pay me. I've defended the PlayStation brand more times in the past year than i can count. I've also been through a ton of delays for games such as Home and Littlebigplanet and Haze and gran turismo 5 and call of duty 4 map packs and firmware updates and much more. Yet, they repay me by taking 20 days to give me a refurbished PS3 back when I gave them $150? Screw that.
Sony better get me a PS3 in a week. Else, sorry, but Im gettin me an xbox!
