Sony Refuses To Replace Backwards-Compatible PS3s
Dana Olson on TAWKN.com writes: "An anonymous TAWKN.com user just called me, distraught. His PS3 has been at Sony’s repair center for three weeks now. He bought the 80GB PS3 with backwards-compatibility. Today, he called in to get a status update, and was told that it was beyond repair, and, because Sony doesn’t make that model anymore, that they can’t replace it, despite the fact that he bought four years’ worth of Sony Care extended warranty for it, for a total of five years. They offered to give him a new model 80GB PS3.
He argued with them that he is not just losing a PS3, but PS2 support (that’s over 1900 PS2 games that he can no longer play), extra USB ports, plus the built-in card readers. Sony’s reply? Too f@#$ing bad. (Not a direct quote, obviously.)"
