Ive had enough but ive heard rumors that a new one will be sent out if the problem is as bad as this so i was just wondering about your thoughts and questions you would say to Sony if this problem happened to you
Thanks Guys

I am inclined to think it is the user causing problems if, litterally, five individual machines broke.

Even with the RROD the odds of 5 of them going bad is around a 2% chance. Oddly, that is above the reported odds of a ps3 failing once.

Let's say that a ps3 refurb breaks 15% of the time in the first few months, then with 5 you are insanely unlucky.

With that, my first question is what changed between the original working and the rest breaking? My guess would be that no matter what Sony does, it won't fix the problem.

In any case, that sucks a lot, and good luck! Yikes.

i absoutly agree with this statement, it sounds to me like the problem lies with you.

5 broken PS3's in a six week period? Wow. That's incredible. I'm inclined to agree with above.
