So if my 360 killing itself over MS update back in August, now it seems Sony’s PS3 is having similar issues (knock on plastic mine isn’t yet since it survived the 3.0 update).

Ars has a good write up on it and I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone to pursue the matter.

Not to mention the actual class action lawsuit (PDF) now.

This really does seem like a trend and both companies (Sony and MS) both are touting the same fix.  Send in your console + XXX money and we will “fix” it for you.  Fix what your software broke it, so why am I giving you a dime?!  Sadly enough, MS is charging less right now ($100 dead 360) vs Sony PS3 ($150 bricked PS3).

My post back in August (XBOX 360 Aug 11 System Update Update) ran through what worked for many a solution to MS killer system update.  That was the breaking point for me on giving MS any more pennies period.  Their customer support was horrible and not to mention wanting $ for something they broke.

I can see where the PS3 owners are completely coming from.  I reported MS to BBB about their service breaking my hardware, what did I get?!  Nothing!  Zip, zilch, squat.

Exact quote from final status from BBB:

Complaint status: Inform Business Of Information Only Complaint

Nice huh.  This will be one to watch going forward for sure.  Since if anything comes from the Sony, I could see MS in for the exact same thing if Sony ends up paying anything to PS3 owners.
