Stupid Friend.. - Blu-ray Forum

BluManta · 07-03-2007, 01:57 AM

Yes, my friends ps3 broke.

He came round mine explaining that his PS3 just died for no reason.
I asked him if he used any buggerd games, dvds, or blu-ray. He said no. I asked him if he dropped it etc. No, no no.

So I went round his to have a look. He had put black duct tape over the air vents. All of them.

I said 'why have you put duct tape over the vents?'

He replys with this:

'I am really cautious about my ps3. I really look after it. I don't want dust getting inside it so I covered up the holes to stop dust from getting in.'

I was in tears.

LATEST:
My friend has got a phone call from some Sony branch. Apparently he will be getting a new PS3. They explained that the system had overheated (Duh?) and that he should take care of where he puts his ps3. They suggested a well ventilated area LMAO! Anyway, they said the system should have shut down automatically but it didn't. And the reason they are giving him a new one is because they don't have any refurbished systems in there branch LMAO!! Guess they havent experienced a broken PS3 b4 lol.

Wow, as so many people are reading this. you should check out www.youtube.com/lduk

Wow. That's all I have to say right now.

BluRay2344 · 07-03-2007, 02:11 AM

did he let it cool down before he sent it back, cause thats why it wont turn on is it overheated, so i would have let it sit for a minute and then tried to turn it back on, Damn duck tape over every hole you say OMFG what a jerk!

You think I didn't know that its because of overheating LMAO.
Yeah, I removed all the tape an let it sit for a day. I went back and it was just dead. Nothing more then a work of art. I told him to just send it back and say it just didn't work. When sony find a melted cell im not sure what to say. Or just say it never worked lol.

Guinness7 · 07-03-2007, 02:23 AM

Yes, that is what happens when you make Digg's front page

yojayyyy · 07-03-2007, 05:12 PM

That is unbelievable. How can you have such a massive misunderstanding of technology. Did he plug his car exhaust because it makes things smokey? Wait, is he old enough to drive?

I never wondered why the PS3 didn't come with duct tape. He should have contemplated that.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot indeed.

Marwin · 07-03-2007, 05:16 PM

It's because the post has been linked from digg.com and it's #1 on their Top 10
