I wouldn't tell what the problem is either, its called protecting your intrest (job). You let the company release an official statement on the problem, not rely on someone from customer service to speculate what may be the problem.

So let me get this straight. For the last year all you do is bash the PS3 in basically every thread. And now magically you have a PS3 and your one of the few that got a bricked system. And then on top of that Sony won't help you. Ya makes sense to me lol.

*cough* Bullsh1t *cough*

This is actually funny, he said on another thread "I am a PS3 owner but I wanna buy a 360 because <insert game list>", he is full of sh1t.

@testo,

...and still has yet to learn how to do so.

Yeah, I should have said.

I didn't think Mesh could speak ANY English...

Thats true so true

I love it how when people can't fathom a witty reply or respond appropriately to my posts, they attack my funny avatar, or worse, *laughs* mention the RROD....

Anyway...

Scooby....
Unfortunately your reply didn't address my links nor my reasoning, nor the content of my post.
It was just reactionary drivel that I have come to expect from the SDF.
I mean, you just started slinging verbal diarrhoea about MS that we have heard from the SDF... oooh ...about 4 billion times before.
(Hang on, 4 billion, that's the amount Sony will lose this year...)
How ironic. xp

I can tell I touched a raw nerve with you all.
How easy was it to push your buttons?
And you all jumped right in like a herd of stampeding buffalo.
Talk about taking the bait! *cheers*
I guess I did get my kicks out of you all today...

NOW you can cool it down guys...(just think of your happy place) before you pop a vein or three. Please, I am asking you nicely, out of concern for your stress induced cortisol levels...

Finally, with regard to my question:
"SDF, I am just posting facts. Do you have the personal fortitude and courage to accept the truth and show some backbone in defeat?"

I guess the answer is a resounding, succinct *NO*

Thanks for proving me right.
I didnt need to pwn you... you did that yourselves.

...You were pwned karl.
Get over it.

You state that my reply didn’t address your links nor your reasoning, nor the content of your post

Lets look at your links.

1 & 4. Sony sued over PS2 chip - Specifics of the lawsuit are unclear, its thought that its down to the manufacturing process. But its for a patent that is nearly 20 years old. The fact that Toshiba is included in the lawsuit means that the technology is more than likely produced by them, so Sony may be exempt anyway. As it would be Toshiba that supply Sony , it would therefore be Toshiba that infringed on the patent.

2 & 5. Sony settled the case for its disc read error on the PS2. I won’t defend them on that one, because rightly so, it was a problem (no where near the size or extent of Microsoft RROD problem), but the lawsuit was right, and they paid for it, it didn’t affect the sales of the PS2 though did it?

3. Sony being sued over Buzz! trademark......oh come on.

Your reasoning: I guess its that companies get lawsuits, yes Microsoft do too, two of which are for the disc probs and RROD of the 360.

The content of your post: You accuse me of slinging verbal diarrhoea about MS, then please check your post, your the one who was doing that against Sony, I just used your lame post and turned it on its head. Did you miss the fact I repeated the first few lines of your post on mine, and then posted links about Microsoft and their problems, just like you did about Sony, and then ended with your same lines. I guess your too stupid to realise that.

Your statement of “That is NOT going to bode well for Sony’s PS3 profitability.” Of what concern is that of yours, do you have shares in Sony? And besides, 80% of your post (of which 50% was repeated), is about the PS2, it sold rather well you know, and still is, so I don’t think its gonna make that big a dent.

The only thing you came out with that had anything to do with the 2.4 firmware of this post, was the last part. But come on, replacing bricked consoles, costing millions. It effected a very small minority, your pulling figures out of your arse, wheres your facts on that one.

Again karlostomy, I am just posting facts. Do you have the personal fortitude and courage to accept the truth that your a troll?”

I guess the answer is a resounding, succinct *NO*
(see i’m repeating your lame post again, do you get it yet.........)

And one last thing Karl, you only proved one thing, that your a fool. You just made my day.

Lol Man. You tried SO hard, didn't you?
You get a silver star for that effort.

Next time try to be a little more original. Copying my post is not really very creative is it?... or clever for that matter.
In fact I find it somewhat embarrassing that all you could do was pervert my post instead of debating and arguing your own case with your own logic.
tut-tut, Scooby ... it was all just a bit ..weak.

(Here's what you could have done, to make your reply worthwhile:)
Did you acknowledge that SONY is IN FACT losing money on the ps3?
Did you give me any links to show that the ps3 WON'T lose more money?
Did you acknowledge that Sony has a MASSIVE problem with the cost of the ps3?
Did you give me links that show how Sony will turn it around?
Did you acknowledge that Sony made a MASSIVE, costly mistake with 2.40?
Did you give me links that show how Sony is NOT losing millions on 2.40 damage Control?
(don't forget, Sony's not just replacing bricked consoles here, there's Media releases, coding emergencies, damage control..etc to pay for...)

No, no, no, no, no and NO. You did not.
Your head was stuck in reaction mode... or the sand?
(Nasim would be proud of you.)

And in the end all you did was attempt (and fail) to shut me up and STILL entirely miss the point, which was that Sony WILL lose $4 billion by 2009. *sighs*

Here's a tip.
Next time don't get all riled up. Stay calm.

Most of my posts are constructed to see how many SDF will get hot under the collar... it gets me a great daily laugh! (thanks dude)

@Karlostomy (sorry for the delay in replying, (i’ve been working all morning, plus it could be a different time zone)

My original post was not supposed to be clever or original. (it was copied from you, so how could it be) It was supposed to be obvious that it was a copy, so that you would pick up on it (a child or even someone with a learning disability could spot that). I’m surprised it needed pointing out to you for you to comprehend that. You then call the post “a bit ..weak”, it was your argument that I just turned in, so I whole heatedly agree, your argument was indeed a bit weak (that did make me laugh).

Debating and arguing, thats a laugh.

The first post I made was showing that for every negative you tried to throw at Sony (one of which I agreed on), there were negatives that could also be made about Microsoft. The second post was to respond to 90% of your original links. However, you failed to respond and answer any of my links, instead just falling on a lame SDF jibe.

I’ve been a 360 owner (and still play on the 360 at friends), and have owned most consoles over the last 26 years. I don’t defend Sony when they mess up, but I give them praise when they do things right. Just as I will praise Microsoft for getting things right (like their online service), but won’t defend them on their mistakes (like RROD and their atrocious customer service). That’s called being unbiased, something that is obviously beyond you. Your last response is to a link you supplied, that of a post that had nothing to do with the subject matter of this article.

Hint for you, the subject matter your supposed to be discussing was about firmware 2.41, that Sony fixed from the glitch that was in 2.40. That glitch effected a small minority of uses, and the few bricked systems are being replaced. Most people, myself included didn’t have a problem. You’ve pulled the figure of $700+ million out of your arse for correcting the 2.40 update. Post me proof of this figure, oh you can’t because you made it up.

The rest of your post is about $3.31 billion loss over 2 years. That was this article:

http://www.n4g.com/industry...

You posted this link yourself, if you want to talk about that piece of news, respond in the correct thread, your off topic. So it was you that missed the point entirely. Which is further proof of my original post, that your a troll. You come into a different article and post negative comments that bare no relation to the article at hand. This is pointed out to you 3 times, but you fail to pick up on it. Instead you talk drivel about SDF out in force. Its seems your unable to back up your posts when their questioned. You really are pathetic.

To respond to your off topic link, did you know that Sony announced before the PS3 was launched that they didn’t expect to turn a profit with the PS3 for a good few years down the road. That loss year in and year out is being reduced each financial year. They will slowly recover that cost via the PSP, PS2, PS3, their online downloads, their royalties from blu-ray, and the cell processor that is being used in a wide spectrum of work. Likewise, Microsoft’s division for the 360, which is only just starting to make a profit, will take years to offset the $6b expenditure for them coming into the console market with the original xbox. So what is the point your trying to make. There obviously wasn’t one, you just acted like a troll.

I’ve answered in a level headed manner, every link and argument you’ve made. You’ve failed to do likewise.

Thanks for showing everyone how much of an idiot you are. I see that the agrees are with me (you have none), and plenty have disagreed with you (as the only disagree’s I’ve got are “one”, which I assume is from you.)

Don’t bother answering (I see you’ve used the 3 bubbles you’ve got, I’m confident that will reduced even more with time), and don’t PM me. You’ve proven beyond a shadow of doubt that an educated debate is beyond you. Your nothing but a troll with an extremely biased view. Your now on my ignore list (which congratulations, is er, just you) and your still stuck in the open zone. LOL.

Haha, karl got pwned big time. He should learn when to shut his mouth, and admit defeat. He did half the pwning on himself.

Karlostomy, sounds like colostomy.

Online definition: Colostomy, a surgical procedure that involves connecting a part of the colon onto the anterior abdominal wall, leaving the patient with an opening on the abdomen. This procedure is used when part of the colon is damaged or under repair, and no longer possible for feces to pass.

i.e. to divert Sh*t.

And then we have Karlostomy, always spews out sh*t. He named himself well.
