$600 for a used ps3?

[Lbelle]

eh, resistance is good supposedly.

And I can kind of understand QQing about it, but not really if the system they gave you is working.

[Headspace]

Well say I sent in my DS with a dead pixel, and they sent me a working one, but it had a big crack in the top screen. But they gave me a free Mario 64 DS. Same situation.

[Lbelle]

in the top screen of the DS isn't the same situation, since you actually use the top screen

[Deejay]

Still, $600 is still a pretty big investment on a video game console. Only to get one thats broken and then scratched is kind of annoying.

And fuck resistance.

[Mysterio]

lets argue about it for 5 pages.

Crack in a playing screen does not equal a scratch on the surface of the console.

Unless that scratch is affecting the console actually working. If its just cosmetic then who cares?

Because $600 is a lot of money. Id be upset also...

No its not because the screen is affecting gameplay whereas the surface of the console does not (unless the damage is severe enough to damage something inside the console).

A cracked screen is reducing the visibility of gameplay. A scratch on a console will not make the console unplayable like a crack in a portable's screen will.

Nintendo has AMAZING customer service... I was thoroughly impressed when they offered to replace my broken remote FREE OF CHARGE (yes, including shipping) as long as I send back the broken one. The agents there aren't all pissed off you're calling about your Wii (since those calls are pretty much all they answer now-a-days), which just brightens up your day as it is. Shipping was prompt, and actually replacing that shit was just plain awesome.

Your unit has an issue displaying video.

It got put into the stack of PS3s to be repaired.

To make sure that you get yours within 2-3 weeks as opposed to 2-3 months, they send you the next-available working PS3.

You get it, and it has a scratch, but the Game Playing Unit Plays Games.

They wipe their hands, smile, and head off to an early lunch.

Also if you sent it anywhere but Japan, then they almost definitely won't repair it, They'll ship it to Japan, and when the next stack of Refurbished and Tested Working units.

The End.

[blister1]

they gave you a new game and a working system...what's wrong?

They gave me a refurb ps3 with a scratch, I didn't pay $600 for a used ps3. The free game did nothing as I can't stand Resistance. Yea, I bought Resistance twice and rented it once, got my money back both times so I didn't mind.

You just blew your life savings on that brand new Lexus, you bring it home and as you're parking you manage to bump another car and you wind up with a noticeable scratch on your passenger side door, how would you react? I mean shit, your car still works right?

I wouldn't have cared all too much if the scratch was along the sides, but it was right on the top.

It's a shame this analogy doesn't work. A car is used for looks (among other things), but a PS3 isn't (unless you have it on a rotating plate inside a glass case with fancy LEDs and an alarm system). Sure, there's a moral value attached to this, but you can't pull the aesthetics card.

[Kazen]

They gave you a free game, what the more hell do you want.

[Exoduso]

Um, the systems works dude... I don't see how a small scratch would make a difference.

Besides, how did your PS3 break so fast?

[LinktheDeme]

They gave you a free game, what the more hell do you want.

Well he wants for what he paid for not some scratched piece of shit and no a car is just as much as ps3 for looks. A car is used for getting you to place A and B and making you comfortable not looking pretty on the outside. You could be driving a piece of shit from outside and it can be going 200 MPH and you'll have GPS and ass warmers(Overexageration for whole thing.).

Anyway moral of the story is if you took your chevy car to a chevy dealer because it wasn't starting up and they come back with a scratch on it and say sorry we scratched your car but it works now. Heres a year supply of airfreshners to make up for it. Same fucking concept

Not even close. New Ps3 $600 PS3 game $60 thats 1/10 the price of the unit. Ok, now a car, other people will see it, a ps3, only you will most likely see it excluding friends. To me it wouldnt be a big deal, i mean jesus how wasteful are people. There is no need to get another new one (because yours wasnt new either). What would they do with all the fixed ones, trash them? They gave you a PS3, a new game, and yet you bitch. If its so bad i want to see pics of how bad this PS3 is, its probably not even that major.

Stop bitching, they gave you a free game. What more do you want?
