Video: The Great PS3 Dust Warranty Controversy On Fox News
The Great PS3 Dust Warranty Controversy has reached the mainstream media via our favourite "fair and balanced" friends *ahem* Fox News:
I disagree with Carey Greenber-Berger about the results of his poll at The Consumerist, which claims most users agree that Sony should go ahead and repair the unit. They were skewed, in my opinion, by the choices available:
Is This Playstation 3 Too Dusty To Be Repaired Under Warranty?
- Yes: The unit presents a threat to any technician's health.
- No: This dust is not threatening. Sony should repair the unit.
Notice there's no choice on the poll for those who thought it didn't present a threat to the technician (a simple dust mask would do), but that Sony should not repair the unit due to the owner's negligence (and it seems our readers agree.)
NeoGAF forum member "inner-G" also points out that the owner of the dusty PS3 in question, Reid Godshaw, is a professional actor who has been hired by Fox before.
Conspiracy Theory? You decide. (Pun certainly intended.)
