AbandonedTrolley Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 The audio kept cutting out when I was playing Heavy Rain yesterday. Not sure if that's a fault of the game or the system, but the disc is in perfect condition and I replaced the laser unit back in February. I'd like to upgrade to a Slim, but I just can't justify it for the amount of use it would get. Game issue and pretty common :( Great game but some glaring bugs in it!

BeeJAyP Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'm worried a little about my 40GB PS3, everything seems fine but the drive mechanism is starting to sound a little sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
]SK[ Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 My 60GB model died a year ago, 2-3 months out of warranty. I phoned Sony and to my surprised they swapped it with a refurb. The drive in the unit had died. They said it was a known problem so would swap it out. It would still play DVD's but anything on BR would fail. They even mailed me back the SD Card I left inside. Sony for this got a 10/10 from me. That said yes these units should last longer than a year. They should offer 3 year warranty out the box imo.

Hedon Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 My controller died a few weeks ago, rendered my PS3 useless until I spend the price of a game on one of the worst controllers this generation ... Ehh :/ My controller drains battery to nothing from just sitting there without use for a week :( Can some of you specify exactly how long your PS3 lasted? Because if it's dying out on you when it's less than 1 year old, then something is not right. If you had it for a few years and game A LOT, then it's not unusual that it's dying. My first PS3 (40gb) lasted a year before I got the dreaded YLOD. So far so good on the replacement. Pretty amazing considering I've used my PS3less than my purple socks. You have purple socks? For everyone one person that has a problem or posts here, there are 1000 that are not posting cause their systems are fine. really? None of us knew that. I just thought it was some plastic that was recycled put together in a fan shape and then powered so it can spin and make noise for no apparent reason. Thanks for clearing it up for all of us n00bs I learn something new every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
