My Failure to Have Fun - - Dtoid saves the day
Other_ | 10:48 PM on 11.26.2007 11 comments


So this would be my first blog post. If theres anything I learned in life, it's that if someone at Dtoid tells you to blog something, you punch your girlfriend in the face, tell her you get off your cock, then write the fucking blog.

Then you tell her to get back on and shut up.

So get this.. Two weeks ago, my poor 60GB PS3 had a problem. I had posted in the comments of Dale's article about 2.00 fucking up PS3s. So I had to send it to Sony and miss out on playing GH3, CoD4, Assassin's Creed and Uncharted.. so if that's not enough to make me kill myself I don't know what is.. So I sent it to Sony's house last Monday (1 week ago). I received it today and was really surprised at how fast the service was. I hook everything up and I'm super fucking eager to pop in Guitar Hero and start rocking out. But first let me restore all my backed up save files, pictures and music on my new PS3 right? WRONG..fuck...Somehow, in a mysterious world where Nintendogs sells as much as it does, my PS3 ended up not coming back with a 60 GB hard drive... My 60GB PS3 (chrome trim and everything) has a 20 GB hard disk inside. I wasn't too thrilled about this as you can imagine. I'd just gone through a lot of trouble to find the time to send in my PS3 and stuff. I work as a full time tester so I'm technically competent so I'm not just freaking out over nothing. So I get it back and have to send it in again? Come on..

I had called Sony for the third time in 2 weeks to basically have a whole conversation with some guy to get my point across. My point, being: double you tee eff. But it just so happened that no reps were available so I go to the next best organization that would solve my problems. Destructoid. Dee-Fucking-Struk-Toid.

What do you guys think?


Oh and by the way, if you guys don't give Workman the fucking warmest happy birthday that even a Filipino hooker with syphilis couldn't give, I'll be really sad. That guy fucking rocks.

Just so you know, no one can read your post, because your username has an underscore in it. A few people know to alter this post's URL by deleting it, but most people don't. I would recommend contacting Niero or Ron Workman to change your username to properly comply with the blogs, or else no one will read your stuff.

Hey man, sucks that had to happen. This caught my eye because the same thing happened to a friend of mine, downloaded the 2.00 firmware update, disc player stopped reading discs, sends it in and got 20 gigabyte hard drive inside. I also read certain reports on NeoGaf and N4G about this happening, so I know it's recurrent.

Contact Sony and make sure you sort this shit out. You shouldn't be shortchanged like this.

By the way: Uncharted is awesome.

Hey Don, I had to change your name and take out the _ in it. It's a giant bug that we're working on. Also, Necros, why do you hate me.

WTF? When you sent this tip in, I would have thought this was a one-time thing. But, according to DrPirate, this is a real reoccuring issue? I'm actually completely shocked that they messed with your HDD at all. I know the Dashboard is installed as firmware on the 360 so I figured the same applied to the PS3, but if they are doing things to your HDD then it sounds like the XMB may be installed on the HDD instead of the actual PS3. Can anyone confirm this?

Also, have you thought about installing your own HDD?

Also, cocks.

In all honesty, Destructoid can't help you get a 60 gig hard drive back into your PS3. Continue calling Sony and explain your issue until they give you a straight answer.

However, Destructoid can offer you lots of hugs, sympathy, similar stories, and date rape.

Hamza, I apologize profusely. I keep forgetting you're in charge around here, since my automatic response to this problem for months has been "contact Niero or Ron." I humbly offer this generic cat picture in regret:
