Just got off the phone with Sony Support. Because I have a generic brand of component cables, instead of officially licensed Sony components, Sony has voided the warrantee on my PS3 and will only replace it for $150 dollars!

Their product fails, yet they wiggle out of responsibility. Yeah Im sure that component cables can kill a system. and even if that were the case. What does that say about the system if it can be killed so easily.

So now my system boots up and sits there with a blank screen.

Thank god I kept the receipt. Target allows for exchanges for 90 days or full refund.

My hats off to Target for sticking with their policy. My middle finger to Sony for shirking theirs.

Figured a warning to all of you. If you have issues. LIE! Tell them everything is licensed Sony accessories.


I'm not sure but I heard rumors it's the same with Xbox. Same thing goes with the NYKO(?) intercooler that I had returned because someone instructed me I was better off usung a regular fan since the intercoolers tend to suck power out of the xbox heating it up even moreso (makes sense since it kinda defeats the purpose of having it, eh?) and is not a product of microsoft (tho the packaging looks as if it is) like some have mistaken it for.
