Maybe they wanted the PS3 to reset every ten minutes to prevent it from frying as it would be on all day. The problem being that they don' t automatically turn back on it seems. This is probably just a problem with rushed demo units.

Sony needs to fire everyone in their PR department and then hire people who know actually what they' re talking about.

That rep is the biggest moron I' ve ever heard of.

So this guy gives us a chat he had whit a nameless SONY rep. in a randome EB games more than a month ago, and for no reason he decided not to post the article back then but 42 days before it happened, now thats just goddamn bullshit¡¡¡¡

Now, -if it happened- the excuse its bullshit aswell, yet the kiosk may freeze every two seconds but the retail PS3s are perfect, i cant talk for anybody besides me but mine works so silent and cool its just incredible


This is probably just a problem with rushed demo units.



i dont think so, the damo units came from the retail stock, i guess its becasue the PS3 its cased in metal with little or no ventilation.

But i agree, they need to do something whit the kiosk units, whats the piont in having the coolest kiosks whit the coolest TVs if u cant play the damn thing.

I don' t know about you guys but the only two places I' ve seen a ps3 they were not working. I was told at EB games that it was the TVs, but I never trust those assholes so who knows?

I this thread worthy?!

A guys spoke to a guy who the original guy claims was a Sony rep and he gave some bullshit excuse for a unit freezing and the whole thing amounts to nothing more than hearsay, and sounds like bullshit itself.

Great.

I am pretty sure Sony only want you to play the ps3 for 10 minutes anyway.
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

One of these days, this crap with the ps3 will all be over. The prices will eventually come down on games as well as the system, and better games are on the horizon. ' Til then, we should all be reading something.

Quez re-affirms his stance as the anti-sony, pro-microsoft stereotype of the forum.

Quez they have all heard about you and want to see if it is true.

Sony really need to shape up in 2007 otherwise I can see 2016 being to far away for the PS4 to help them.

By looking at the sales figures though it looks like Nintendo are more than just being a match for M$ and Sony, however will the novelty wear off though, this is the big question, it is all well and good having a new style controller system but will there be the software to keep it fresh and in the minds of everyone? I personally think 2007 is going to be and interesting year for the big three and as I said earlier especially for Sony.

I think the DS constantly gives a good indication of what to expect from the Wii.
If the DS suddenly loses marketshare to the PSP, then we can expect the Wii to do the same to PS3/360 after a while.

Y' know. When I went to (almost) get my PSP yesterday, I was wondering why Motorstorm was freezing. I' m dead serious too. One of the guys behind the counter had said it was routine. I checked another Gamestop for a used PSP & their PS3 was completely down, like, dead on arrival, but I had known that for ages.

Hopefully Sony' s manufacturing quality isn' t reflected by the kiosks. Granted, I' ve seen the insides of the kiosk, & there' s no room to breathe in there, but still, it does bug me.

The machine is silent but hot. Heat means crashes. Unfortunately.

Bear in mind that the machines inside the kiosks probably aren' t well ventilated. Certainly nowhere near as ventilated as a machine would be in somebody' s home.

The cell must produce more heat than anything in the 360 due to the number of cores it has, Sony obviously saved on the cooling.

The PS3 doesn' t need cooling, it' s cool as it is.
Just ask any kid on the street
" Do you think the PS3 is cool?"
" Yeah the PS3 is the best! It' s the coolest console ever!"
So there you have it, the PS3 IS cool.
