Sony: PS3 drive errors not caused by firmware |

Sony has yet to explain where exactly the problem lies, but according to Eurogamer, the company disavows that the issues are being caused by the PS3's firmware. In a nutshell, if your PS3's drive is fried, you'll have to pay for repairs yourself. Ah, if only we could just blow on a Blu-ray disc to make it all better.

I would say about 90% of the time it's User error not sony's, But i am not saying all the PS3's users are at fault but a good % is.

But uhh, if I had to guess, I would say it has nothing to do with what you are postulating.

I remember how cool it was when my friend told me how easy it was to "mod" your SNES to play import games. You basically just pulled this metal piece out of the slot where the cartridges went...then you could play JP games.
The good old days...

When it comes to user error it's people that try fake hacks "that they may have forgot about" or block FW updates for so long then try and update to the Newest etc etc or Just them being Dumb and thinking it's from the FW update when it's the Drive it's self, there could be many things.

We really need to look at the timing of these "reports": right after the release of the PS3 Slim, --the very product which has left the competition (M$ and Nintendo) licking their wounds in the dust and dropping prices on their over-priced hardware.
You don't think that there's at least a glimmer of a chance that this is bogus 'web propaganda' to get new purchasers to think ...."Oh, I don't know: I've heard PS3's drives are failing with firmware updates .... I better get a 360 and chance a RROD instead."
I've got more than 1 PS3 (orig/MGS/japan); all are running 3.01; all appear to be fine. Like someone said above, if this was due to firmware ....there would likely be a LOT of problems, and you and your friends would at least know someone personally with a problem.

I also remember 'modding' my Megadrive (Genesis) to play foreign games by filing off the two protrusions in the cart bay... Fun times.. lol

Sony's extended warranty service sucks. They are charging you $50 more and 9 months less than MS's service. A 1 year warranty for $100 is a hell of alot better than a 3 Month warranty for $150.

Must be some extremely rare thing going around that effects absolutely none of the people I know. Either that or like has been mentioned around here previously. Way for people to spread rumor the PS3 is having problems after the Uncharted 3.00 incident.

He did nothing to his PS3 to make that happen, the casing had never been opened, no hacks attempted, didn't even run the NES Emulator from a while back.
This is certainly not user related, nor is it sony's fault. Every product released has a failure rate.
