The PlayStation 3 had been out for several months when I started looking into buying one. My PS2 was making loud grinding noises and I feared it was on its last legs. Moreover, Sony had just announced that PS2 backward compatibility would be cut from the next model of PS3, so it seemed as if it had become a “now or never” situation.
Tonight, the BBC will broadcast a report claiming the PS3 suffers from systemic hardware failure and Sony’s repair service is inadequate. GamesIndustry.biz has a six-page salvo from SCEUK to the BBC, ripping the report and implying legal action could follow.
