No problem. But at 35 I'm probably older than most. I just happen to be into video games, and wanted to report this recent incident. But basic story: my PS3 died while I had it on standby (which is what I meant by "turned it off"), called Sony, the rep told me it happens a lot, then I sent it to them for repair or replacement.

I don't even get a lot of the jargon. Whats a TC, for example? What are "posts" about.

So the other day, I was playing my PS3. Then I shut it off to eat, when I saw it turn back itself on, then die. It just died. I can't turn it on at all. I've tried plugging out and back in the AC, etc. So I call up SONY, and they tell me that this happens frequently, that it's probably overheated, and that they'll replace it. Since I still have receipt, etc., not a big deal.

But has anyone else had this problem, or know why it happens? I've only had it for two months. Can it be that fragile? Totally lame.

Since a lot of you seem to know what you're talking about, I would appreciate whatever feedback.

I heard this rumour from a friend of mine who knows someone at Konami...

If true, Konami is toying with the idea of remaking the original MGS as MGS Genesis for both next Gen consoles.

That makes sense, with Mr. Kojima out of the picture, it would be a way for Konami to squeeze out more money out of the franchise without his involvement--especially since they can work all those XBox fanboys who would kill for a chance to figure out what it's all about.

Anyone hear of this before? Let's discuss.

Hi,

The only internet access I get in my area is through Time Warner Cable. Is that okay for getting my PS3 on line? Anyone have any experiences with this as well--if so, any complaints or tips. Much appreciated.
