mmmm I didn't intend to comment here.

he used his ps3 inside a mill....or so its said.

That is the owner being careless not product fault.

He's a retard that neglects his products.

Its like putting any electronic in the water. The dirt was not normal dust. It was muddish and filthy. The console has been clearly abused from. Damage done by your tardness does not cover warranty.

Its not Sony. ANY Eletronic company would refuse to replace a product like that from Microsoft to a chinese company. The USB Ports where so dirty that I doubt you can even insert a USB. Imagine the inside of the console.

I hope the technication that had to make contact with this console didn't get any disease with all that dirt and crap on that console. Imagine of he was an allegric technician -_-''

To the owner of this console: Stick the PS3 up your arse and stop talking crap about sony for not replacing your console. They have the right NOT to replace it. You clearly abused of the console. Its like you threw a bag of soil on it on purpose and let it work while under soil so the innard gets more dirt. You sir are a douchbag that needs to be punched in the face until your mother doesn't even regonize you.

didn't know that mole men had electricity

How hard is it to do this?

yo imma go piss all over my ps3 and ask sony to replace it...

yea good one, what f tard lets this happen to a ps3 and hopes to get it replaced? if i was sony, id take it and not give it back, id send you a card saying fu you. piece of garbage spoiled shi, god dam

This idiot couldn't clean it ONCE?
What a lazy idiot, I'm glad he can't get it replaced, it's his fault it won't work

there must be a anti ps3 task force around,is the all the new's they can bring, new material please!

That guy is a f*cking slob.
There's no way around that. How in the world do you allow a console to get THAT dusty?! I dust my PS3 regularly because I know dust is sometimes the cause of early console deaths.

That guy was a actor, who got his fame for 15 seconds. Life goes on.

I wouldn't replace it either. If you're so damned lazy that you can't even be bothered to wipe down your PS3 at least once in a while (not to mention what the rest of his house is like) he doesn't deserve to own one. What a waste of a great machine.

Anyways, if it did get sent in and the technician had some serious allergies (Like me. Trust me, that much dust does us no good) the result could range from general unpleasantness to some real medical complications.

How the hell can that Lil mofo get his ps3 so dusty. These days technology ain't as durable as it use to be, so I put a cloth on my ps3 to protect it from getting dust inside, I even go as far as sucking the dust out of it.

bahh.. I am with Sony and Visa on this one... if you do not know how to take care you stuff... and you obviously beat the device to death... they shouldn't give you crap!

he is stupid..

i didnt know they made grey ps3s.

i wipe mine down all time time... but i wipe my bravia and 360 down alot also.

once again pay pal ruining peoples lives one person at a time

Looks as if he was riding his playstation off road.

Open and shut case: abuse isn't covered under warranty. No other electronics company would honor a warranty under those conditions either.

That could not be a grown man treating his ps3 like that.......right?

i dont know if its the electromagnetics of it all or the black case but my ps3 gets dusty real fast i usually wipe it down along with the whole entertainment area once a week but i could imagine if i didnt dust in like a year it would look something like that ...

"Unless this guy lived in a f*cking Egyptian tomb, there's no excuse for his PS3 being that damn dirty. My 20 year old NES and 15 year old SNES don't even come close to the level of filth his PS3 is at! Sorry kid...either open it up,clean the insides and pray it works or cut your losses and buy a new one. *insert bugle 'wah-wah' sound here*" This right here was priceless

life of all ps3

That thing wasn't dusty... it looked like it was coated in mud!!! I don't blame them for not replacing it!!!

RIP Bernie...What would Bernie say...hmmm...tuff chit..lol

wrong post.

why didnt he just clean the dust off before hand?

if anything i would be embaressed to send such a dirty product back for repair that i would probably clean it just before sending it.

This is the power of the PS3. Put in Motorstorm: Pacific Rift and this is what it does to your console.

As I have said in the past about this OLD BS situation...how does USER/OWNER neglect somehow equates to Sony having to foot the bill? It's not like the....oh never mind ;)

If people don't care enough about their PS3 to keep it dust-free then they don't deserve to have it repaired. Dust just indicates the lack of usage.

in other news he is asking sony to clean and vacuum his house.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
