I'd say scratch the homebrew idea and give us better games (like Resident Evil). Well, nevermind, they kinda already did... Lol!

Nevermind, thanks Sony!

I believe Sony and to date there have been no reports of PS3s crashing.

I remember playing N64 in Toys'R'Us and it would do the same thing, except when the screen went blank, the N64 would also say, "Hey! It's-a-me! Mario! Thank you for playing Nintendo 64! Who's Next?!" And the 64 would start up again.

But I guess all the Sony hate propaganda has gotten to quite a lot of people's heads where they'll just close their ears and go "La-la-la!"

Typical... just shows how ignorant most of you are...

Not really... 360s did it for a while in stores as well, except they had the pretty ring of lights to let you know it was f*cked up. I don't think Sony actually would implement such a thing. Did you seriously create an account to call people ignorant?

BTW, I love Sony, but they lie too much.

I really don't believe this. Destructoid looks like another site pumping out recycled anti-Sony propaganda. Let's take a few of their previous article titles: "Do you enjoy console shortages? Get used to it" and "Hey you! TIME magazine hates the PS3 too!" Right guys, that looks like level headed news reporting to me!

By the way, has anyone actually seen those demo kiosks? There's pretty much no ventilation, of course its going to overheat and crash.

Well actually I did, well not to call anyone ignorant, but I was hoping someone else would point it out, when no one did I joined and I got carried away at the end. It's just frustrating how people just jump to conclusions without even considering it first, like some kind of hater knee-jerk reaction. So I guess my response was a sick and tired of haters knee-jerk reaction... my bad I guess.

And by the way, did the 360s that crashed start up again or did they permanently remain in the ring of light stage and could not be booted up again?

I can believe Sony did this reset on purpose to prevent people playing too long. The N64 did, all you'd have to do is build the Motorstorm demo so at a certain point of time it resets the system. I believe this only happens during the Motorstorm demo in the stores kiosks.

Actually it seems the PS3s that you see in the glass case of the demo units are fake! It's just an empty shell. The real PS3 that you're playing is either behind the kiosk or elsewhere (follow the wires on the floor) in order to trick anyone who wants to steal the system from the glass case.
