Dust Voids Playstation 3 Warranty

This is the Playstation 3 unit that was returned by the highly incompetant Sony customer service team.

Thank you for contacting us regarding our Warranty policy as it pertains to the condition of your PLAYSTATION 3 console.

After consultation with legal counsel, SCEA has determined that the photographs of your console as returned to our service center are neither confidential nor private. Consequently, we may lawfully release these photographs to you. Because the photographs are not confidential, we may also release them to media who inquire about your recent internet postings concerning the console.

Regards,

Cindie Smith

I think the whole situation is rather stupid and that sony is using this as a cheap excuse to save money. Now, where are all those PS3 fanboys who used to laugh at the 3 red rings of death for our beloved Xbox 360?
