These things happen. It doesn’t seem too widespread so far, and they seem to be handling it pretty well apart from the Rubenstein denial which makes them look stupid. As long as they replace or fix any bricked machines it should be fine.

If it actually happened to anyone then it seems like it’s the unavoidable unlucky few who effed up the install for some unrelated reason. Might be a few after any update I guess.

At least one can find the people with Blu-ray drive problems online. Wierd.

I used to do brilliant “loading noise impressions”. My dad thought so anyway.

UK101 loading times ftl.

I remember when games took half an hour to load and you had to sit in the room watching them load or they wouldn’t work.

But I’m old. =(

Do you remember when you could plug consoles in and play games immediately on them? Great days.

It’s no wonder people carp about having no time to play games these days – they spend half their ‘gaming time’ downloading updates, patches, firmware upgrades and the like, then installing the same before they can even consider starting to play. And that’s assuming their machine hasn’t been bricked in the process.

The one console that avoids all this bollocks? The DS. And it’s the biggest console in the world. Go figure.

At least anyone affected should get their systems replaced free of charge now. It’s not like they could deny there was any issue.

Yep. PR mega-disaster. Right before E3, too.
