Sigh.

Welcome to the third series of “My PS3 just broke”. Unfortunately, for the third time in one and a half month, I have to sent in my PS3 to get it replaced by Sony tech support. PS3 number 1 had a faulty Blu-ray drive, PS3 number 2 had the controller/remote drop-out problem and PS3 number 3 has the same problems as PS3 number 2 and also it refuses to restart after drop-outs (and even connecting the controller using the USB cable won’t help – it’s the exact same problem as described here). So it’s off to Sony again to get yet another PS3. Great!

For reference, here are the posts I’ve already made about this:

My PS3 just broke – firmware 2.42 to blame?
My PS3 just broke – Part 2
My PS3 just broke – Part 3
My PS3 just broke – Final
My PS3 just broke – Final (followup)
My PS3 just broke – Redux
My PS3 just broke – Redux Part 2
My PS3 just broke – Redux Part 3

I explained everything to the Sony tech support gal that answered, and even she was baffled as to why I would receive two consoles, both with the same problems. Perhaps I’m just unlucky then, and apart from trying to get this new exchange expedited, nothing else could be done for me. I will give them one more chance to get me a fully working PS3, but after that, I will have to demand some special actions be taken (like, I don’t know, perhaps give me a PS3 that actually works or something outrageous like that).
