Dusty PS3 is dusty, denied warranty repair

Dale North on PS3

Dusty PS3 is dusty, denied warranty repair screenshot

Any PS3 owner can tell you that the shiny black console is a dust magnet, but this is ridiculous!

The Consumerist managed to get the of pictures of a PS3 console that was denied repair under the warranty due to its dusty state. Sony wanted $150 to brave the dust bunnies and filth.

Apparently Sony originally wouldn't release photos of the dirty system, but later determined that the pictures of the owner's console are "neither confidential nor private," and now The Consumerist has them to share with the gaming world. After seeing them, it was probably in Sony's best interest to show these to the world -- this system is disgusting!

Seriously, what the hell? Does the owner live in an adobe hut? This looks the system has been through the courses of Motorstorm and Sega Rally Revo, and then hit by crossfire in Call of Duty 4. I'm with Sony -- there's no way in hell I'd repair this system. What do you think?

Check out more dirty pictures after the jump.
