"For nearly 20 years Sony in Japan has been plagued by the myth of the "Sony Timer" – but is there really a kill-switch that destroys your device just after its warranty runs out? Many Japanese genuinely believe that there is."
On Amazon, you can't get an RTX 4090 for less than this one from Gigabyte, which now offers great value after an eye-catching April deal.
Gamespot: The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P is still our favorite PS5 headset, but there are several great alternatives to choose from in 2024.

Kind of like the 360's kill switch... The "ON" button.
Looks like noone gonna approve this one :(
Apparently I offended alot PS3 users (got alot of reports on it)
Just saw it at Engadget and thought it could be interesting, since alot us own sony devices (I own 4 sony gaming devices: Ps2,PS, PSP Go, PSX and a Sony TV) :I
The reports claim I took a PS3 picture to offend, but I didnt!
I just took the picture from the article and Engadget.com...
EDIT: Anyway changed categories and picture to please fanboys... Hope I did'nt offend anyone and that it can be approved now...
And to all the reports: I mean come on? Reporting "fake" on this one? Its actually a good and interesting article.
I used to think that about the PS2 phat back when mine broke. It stopped reading discs exactly one year to the day after purchase, and at least 20 other people I knew with original PS2's had theirs end up the same way, all around the one year mark.
That was one of the reasons why I waited 2 years to get a PS3, which also broke 3 days shy of the one year mark due to YLOD.
/tin foil hat
I bought my 60 gig (now 250 gig) PS3 used nearly 3 years ago, use it quite heavily and haven't had any problems at all. I think it all comes down to common sense and taking care of your electronics.
My 60 gig broke, but that is the exception rather then the rule.
(Oddly enough my PS2 and PS1 still work like the day I bought them, and I was a early adopter.)
