Playstation 3 Blu-ray drive to get massive update
Better late than never, right? Sony has just announced that it will be releasing a massive firmware update for the on-board PS3 Blu-ray drives. The biggest change will be the upgrade to Blur-ray Profile 2.0, which will bring full online support for any Blu-ray titles that offer Profile 2.0 content. The first two titles with such connectivity will be The Sixth Day, and Walk Hard, with many more to follow. Other enhancements will include better DivX and WMV support, more stable PSP interaction, and a more pleasant web browsing experience. All told, this is a worthy update that brings the PS3 in line with many higher-end Blu-ray players currently on the market. Expect to see this hit consoles by the end of March.
my console also stopped reading disc! I wish they would do a recall and give people their money back!
My 60 gb dumped last week. I have had it 2 years and played it no more than 20 hrs in that time. Right after I bought it , after an update my screen went black. I sent it in for warranty repair. Now it is the blu-ray drive as my desk top and internet work ok but can not load anything. I would join a class action rather than giving Sony another 149.00.
My Ps3 also does not play movies or games, not even 2 years old and have to pay 150 just to get it fixed even though talking with sony customer service for over an hour got me no where. Everyone please write an email to Better Business Bureau and maybe they might force Sony to do something if enough people complain
My second blu ray drive is now dead and the PS3 is out of warranty. The unit is less than 2 years old. This is just plain wrong. Sony should offer deeply discounted replacement drives for the do-it yourselfer.
call walmart cust support- tell them u have bought the extended warranty- they offer a one time courtesy repair. they do not keep records of the warranty unless u register your product, but they fix it for free- shipping included.
it doesnt matter if u bought your system there or not. they will ask u to estimate the price u paid for the system and the extended warranty. they even send u the shipping label, all u have to provide is the box to ship it. they are very fast, sent it off thurs and they recieved it monday. hope to have it back soon. I have invested too much $ not to fix it, but this is the easiest and most affordable way.
