Sony Refuses To Mend Dirty PS3s

Make sure to get the feather duster out before you send your PS3 to the Sony menders' shop when it breaks, because it looks like Sony is not going to repair filthy, dirty PS3s.

Here’s a pic of a recent Playstation 3 that Sony deemed too dusty to be repaired under warranty! (How it was actually allowed to get that filthy, we cannot imagine).

Apparently, Sony initially claimed that the dust presented a threat to their technician's health, and that the owner of this filthy, faulty console should pay them $150 for the honour of having it mended.

Sony originally claimed that the pictures would not be released without a subpoena, though soon changed tack once the story was picked up by consumerist.com, contacting the dirty, filthy gamer to tell him or her (most likely him):



Okay, some SPOnG staff have worked in technical support over the years. Some of us have had to deal with the CEO's son's girlfriend's brother's PC that was so encrusted in filth that the bloody thing simply died. Some of us can appreciate what Sony tech support means...
