I haven't had any issues as yet. I am leary to play a BD now because of the noted issues though.

From what I have read on the playstation forums, BD seems to be the catalyst. Just my opinion though.

EDIT to be honest, I have gotten bored of blu ray anyway. As nice as the picture is, I still don't think it is worth the extra money over DVD. I haven't picked up a new BD in months.

The trouble started with Uncharted and has now reportedly grown to encompass all manner of media fed into the PlayStation 3 disc drive. The comments section of PlayStiaton Blog's Firmware 3.01 announcement has been overwhelmed by user reports of disc drive errors since Firmware 3.00 and 3.01 were released; most commonly, read errors reportedly occur when running Blu-ray games or movies, but in some alleged cases plain old DVDs are not working either. Eurogamer has reached Sony for comment, and the console manufacturer has disavowed responsibility for the apparent drive failure, declaring it "not an issue with the firmware." In other words, corresponding repair costs are currently placed squarely on the shoulders of the affected consumers. We will continue to follow this story as it updates. Stay tuned. Looks like Sony does not intend to even look into this being a firmware issue.

If this is truely global than they better do something about it, i think it's total horse shit that they'd expect people without warrantied systems from stores to pay them to fix their system that their update ****ed up.

You have the best safeguard at least. You purchased one of those extended warranties that I never use money on. In this case, you have a valuable safety net.

I have a feeling i will go ahead and try to watch a bluray movie this weekend and i am fortunate that i spent the extra cash on 4 year warranties for both systems incase stupid shit like this were to happen. As for the Wii, i don't have a warranty on that where i can just flip it for a new system, but it is nice to know nintendo will fix it for free and own up to their shit, lets hope sony follows. I'm hoping a new update comes out to fix this, they were quick to 'fix' 3.00 |
