Sony unaware of alleged PS3 error Comments by Robert Purchese

"Hi, I'm Sony.

What? Error with PS3?

No, *puts fingers in ears* LALALALALALALA"

@Ruckus

It'll happen, but to be fair a lot of the 360 comlpaints are from people like this as well.

MrMilad

That was MS's response to me.

Error 80010514 doesn't scare me... but error 4815162342 would!!

It's true, they probably aren't aware of this issue. Because "they" consists of one balding middle-aged man in a dingy apartment that Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo call their "european office."

@irnchriz : Claiming the PS3 has "plenty" of exclusive AAA titles would be a lie, but I have both a PS3 and 360, and over the last 6 months the PS3 have been most used... there's plenty of great games for PS3 (multiplatform) and a handfull exclusive ones. Pretty amazing some people are still saying "no quality games for PS3".

@Beano - The people saying the PS3 has no quality games are Xbox 360 owners so they wouldn't have any interest in playing decent stuff like Devil May Cry 4, Burnout Paradise or Call of Duty 4 on the PS3 anyway. However, when you look at how many games are actually multiformat on both platforms then it simply isn't true to say the PS3 doesn't have any good games at all. The only reason the PS3 doesn't have as many games as the Xbox 360 is simply because it hasn't been out as long, that's all.

I'm on my second 360.. but that only because I wanted HDMI and lower noise (something the new "falcon" models didn't quite deliver on though - bummer). My launch 360 is still working fine... but in the box :)

@irnchriz

Since Amazon.ie doesn't exist and .co.uk won't sell electronics to Ireland due to the cnuts in the E.U. with their WEE directive
I bought this http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=343...

Anyway, what's £96.57 in real money? I can't change my default currency from sterling to Euro's on Amazon's fantastic web-site.

irnchriz, wrong target. I did own a PS3 on launch day (as almost every console that comes out) but it's long gone, so don't realy know why you're saying that to me. I currently only use 360 for gaming.

As I don't "do" brands ans I was really pissed of with PSP (dead pixels, Sony didn't replace - "too few, live with it!". end quotation), and then the underwhelming PS3.

But, and again, in a nutshell: if a PS3 breaks, its the users that are lame and treat it badly, if it's a 360, MS sux so bad. Anyway this behavior swings from funny to pathetic.

So this is the RROD without a catchy title?
I'm sure we can fix that....How about the "Stupid Number Of Death"?

eg "I would be playing Drake's Fortune, but the ps3 has got the SNOD"
Sorted.

Yet, there are even funnier stuff arround like PlayStation and Sony are some kinda super-humans that deserve every indulgence. Say, it's almost like it's something bad or a blasphemy for 360 to be released before:
"oh, ok you have better games, but 360 came out first... loosers, you came out first, Sony only comes out last, they're so good!"
"oh it so hard and complex to develop to PS3, ya know, they're so intellectual, that's why games sux, but we're complex!"

Ffs..., why should the consumer care about this? Do someone actualy think about this while playing the game which one payed for ?

Also for the guy with internet issues, try looking on forums for router configs, or manually entering IP and DNS settings.

How long did it take before PS2 developed faults with their drives?

"But then again I only use it to play movies and music - I sometimes look at its nice shiny box and wonder why I brought it."

To play movies and music I presume.

I hope its not caused by dust build up!
thats all my PS3 has done for the last three months!

"Is 80010514 the Red Ring equivalent?"

No, because it isn't going to happen to every PS3, like the RROD will to all Xbox 360s eventually.

It wont happen to mine, that I am sure.

"3 dead pixels aren't enough to have your PSP replaced, sir. Sorry..."; yeah... if they knew how much money I spend in ludic software/hardware per year, they would definetly be much more "sorry".

I was talking about PS3 as I don't have one. Regarding 360..., keep them coming, I have 3.

Took long enough, but it is finally here...

/Knocks wood, just in case

Some how i doudt 80010514 will catch on...

"However, when you look at how many games are actually multiformat on both platforms then it simply isn't true to say the PS3 doesn't have any good games at all. The only reason the PS3 doesn't have as many games as the Xbox 360 is simply because it hasn't been out as long, that's all."

Which the fanboys know deep in their heart and I bet they are already working out strategies for arguing why the PS3 is still worse when by the end of this year the number-of-games-advantage has become irrelevant... ;)

LAWL

It was only a matter of time. I'd rather have an RROD than an 80010514

hang on.. that spells out (when held upside down on a calculator)

Spooky

.. I've read some dumb posts on this forum.. but..

Les: The battle will move onto ingame custom soundtracks once the PSN has ingame messaging. It will suddenly become a vital feature with they simply cannot comprehend or tolerate being without.

As MS have apparantly patented using the OS for ingame soundtracks this is a fallback position they can safely occupy!

Arbiter: I agree with you mate, but the consumer hasn't *really* paid the price.

I have had my four RROD's and they have been fixed for free. which is a price you don't pay. i dont have an HD TV yet, so the appeal of blu ray is non existent at the moment, and so far there are NO games that are system exclusive that would encourage me to pick up a PS3. in this lucid future perhaps maybe, if i have an HDTV, and if MGS and little big planet can live up to the hype and if my cousin can get a nicked one off a back of a lorry for dirt cheap, or fair price, then yes i will get a PS3 and actually use it. but not until then.

My Uncle, who's inside now for tax evasion, fraud, you name the white collar crime he's done it and been done for it, had a Ferrari. beautiful machine. fanny fucking magnet. fucking thing broke down, every 400 miles. had to be serviced nearly every time he took it out. flogged the bollocks off of it admitedly, but he said it was worth every single stolen penny.

His Volvo on the other hand, was reliable to the point where it never ever broke down, fuel efficient in the extreme, could carry everyones shopping, ever, could take 20 kids to school and back, and could probably withstand a nuclear blast.

Needless to say, he let the mustachioed wife have the Volvo, and took the red car whenever possible.

Perhaps it's the UK Help Line number for this fault?

Ah, but they forgot the 0 at the start and they're missing another digit. I guess it's not that.

It could be Ken Kutaragi's internal extension number at Sony! He built it into the PS3 because he was going to 'step down', so just in case Sony screwed up the marketing and strategy, every PS3 would be intelligent enough to 'call home'.

OK, OK, so that's a long stretch but I'm right about the marketing and strategy though! ;-)

@umberty - get fucked cunt, i headed off in my own direction a long time ago. if i had stuck with em, maybe i'd have a hi def tv for my games by now. and as for TV shows, i dont watch that shit, hence my lurking on a game site. fuckin tool.
