Sony Sued Over PS3-Destroying Firmware 3.0

Man and as a 360/PC gamer I used to think MS was the devil, now Sony is completely turning me off to the idea of getting a PS3 cause of shitty customer service.
but firmware can be fixed, the RROD can'tRobCoxxy said:True dat, but we don't download RROD.cleverlymadeup said:
This law suit will be either thrown out or is going to be lost by the plaintiffs in a hardcore way. I really doubt there is any possible way to show that the firmware update is the reason for the issue. If it was the firmware one would think it would effect all of us PS3 owners universally as all the PS3 hardware is basically the same. But it did not. It seems to be only happening to a very small amount of people. Mu bet is that is a hardware issue and not a software issue.
But will that matter to the masses of anti-PS3 Sony hating fanboys? No way! This is just another reason to point and say "Look! See!? We were right! Sony sucks ballz!!!".

Microsoft has been Sued over RRoD, although don't ask me exactly how the lawsuit went I couldn't remember. At least Microsoft offers free replacement 360s to customers under warranty, though. Sony is charging customers to fix one of their own errors, therein lies the problem.JoshGod said:
*sigh* Irony. Sony fanboys always throw RROD against xbox owners, and sony is getting sued because their consoles are breaking....its beautiful in a way.
Why are people surprised? Sony, as a company, is evil. Pure god damn evil. I could list the shit they've pulled over the years, but it would give me a headache.
there could be a hardware issue, as in once they had a small group of chips that went out the door with a small but acceptable difference in them or they had to use a different chip for a small run. it very well could be hardware but in order to prove that it's going to take a lot and also can't be done as they'd have to get Sony to turn over evidence of this, which would incriminate themselves and would be illegalaxia777 said:
I see what you are saying. In other words a small batch of badly produced chips in the PS3's had a bad reaction to the firmware update thus messing up the Blu Ray drive/other system components. I guess this is quite possible but I would have to ask a person more informed as to the possible interactions between chips and firmware. Good luck proving any of it in court though.cleverlymadeup said:
You are right though that Sony would never turn over evidence incriminating themselves. Not only is that illegal but I am sure that both the chips in the PS3, the firmware, and the interactions between he two are protected by lots of trade laws.
This law suit is hosed.
Ah no, companies are not inherently evil. Greedy? Definitly! Evil? Not usually. They want your money. Are you going to give your money to an evil person? No? Didn't think so. Sending out an update that breaks your console is a case of incompetence. For it to be evil, it would have to set off a hidden package of C4 meant to kill you, or something.Onmi said:
