PlayStation 3 kiosks freezing up ... on purpose!
PlayStation 3 kiosks freezing up ... on purpose! screenshot

Have you ever spent any time in a Best Buy, EB Games, or GameStop playing their PlayStation 3 demo unit and have it freeze up on you? No, you haven't... or so I was told by a Sony rep a few days back. Read on to find out more.

Just before the launch of the PlayStation 3, I walked into a local EB Games and noticed that they had finally (three days prior to launch) received their demo kiosk. Problem was, it was turned off. Right next to the hulking beast of a setup, two teenagers were wailing on "You Really Got Me," the Guitar Hero II demo, and the PlayStation 2 was in full force.

Curious, I asked the annoyed, bored-looking clerk why anyone would dare do something like turn off a PlayStation 3 (The penalty for such an offense? Death, in some states).

"Well," he sighed, "it's locked up on us about five times. And we got it this morning."

He explained to me how when the machine would freeze, he would have to unlock the kiosk and hard reset the machine -- every time. It was easier, he said, to just leave it off and let people drool all over the protective plastic that housed what appeared to be an empty shell of a PlayStation 3 -- if you don't know, the actual unit is housed below the kiosk and is not visible. This, to me, was a fine explanation, and not surprising considering reports I've heard of units freezing at trade shows; and hey, the damned thing is cased in metal with little or no ventilation. I'll let it slide.

Cut to a busy Christmas Eve: The same EB Games is bustling with last minute shoppers; a child knocks over a World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade promotional display; frantic mothers blather on about games they can't remember the names of; and in the middle of it all I spotted a Sony PlayStation retail rep frantically cleaning off the very same kiosk I had mentioned earlier. I wasn't going to let him get away.

"Happy Holidays," I said.

"Oh, hi! I'll be done here in one second and then I'll turn on the unit so you can get a glimpse of the future."

"Oh, I know all about it," I said, trying not to laugh. "I have the future at home. In my closet. Still in the box. Trying to sell it. No takers."

After a short, awkward silence, I decided to go in for the kill.

"So dude over there," I said pointing to the busy clerk, "says he keeps the kiosk off because it keeps freezing up."

"Nope. No it doesn't."

"Well, actually, yeah. It does. I've seen it happen myself."

"No. It doesn't. We did that on purpose," he said.

"You make the entire console lock up on purpose because ... why?"

"We do that so that people won't play it all day long," he explained. "Specifically during Motorstorm, we made it freeze up a lot."

I'm totally confused at this point, completely stunned at what I'm being told because it's the stupidest thing I'd ever heard. I let him rattle on for a while, trying to convince me (and probably himself) that yes, Sony went out of their way to have their consoles lock up so that the masses will not spend hours upon hours basking in all its glory.

He went on about how a PlayStation 3 shouldn't be hard to get now, and how they're shipping them out of Japan daily. I waited for him to spill the beans on the Cell processor powered, mechanized laser-breathing dragon they use to import the consoles to the States, but he revealed nothing.

When the Sony rep was done and finally turned on the future, I decided to stick around and play some Motorstorm (which is pretty damned awesome). Didn't freeze up on me once.

Later, I was told by a Best Buy employee that they were told the same thing -- the locking up and freezing was intentional. So, if you're sitting at home and your console locks up on you or your Bluetooth controllers aren't performing the way they should be, don't worry about it. It might be on purpose.

They can suck my ass "on purpose" that is the most retarded shit I've heard in a while. Good God, could more outlandish shit possibly leave the lips of those who work at Sony.

If you pay 600 bucks for a console, I'm sure a feature you don't want is freezing up. If that's the future...were all D00med.

no, thats not a bug, you've happened upon a feature we've yet to formally document.

Proof that Sony sucks and will hopefully die a quick death and try to right things with the PS4, because PS3 is crap. Never thought I'd say this, but the 360 is looking like a possible winner this gen, if not Nintendo. But intentional lock ups? Try spinning better bullshit, Sony.

What I'd like to know is, if Sony was so all-consumingly concerned with people wasting time playing their amazing feat of machinacal magnificence, why they didn't just cut the demo off after 20 minutes? It would be like maaaa-gic!

Sony has failed on all fronts with this launch, in my egomaniacal opinion; unfortunately, I've been known to over-react. Is it possible that they are, indeed, ahead of their time? Being a Sega fangirl from way back, I know the disppointment of getting your hands on the next big console, only to find a dearth of decent games, and, even worse, a lack of enough of a fanbase to keep the sales momentum going. Should we keep the faith?

Of course, my Dreamcast never froze on purpose.

They really believe that a customer will be playing the demo version of motorstorm hours on end? You have got to be kidding me. I played that crap for 3 minutes before putting the controller down to finish the rest of my christmas shopping.

Damn come to think of it, I was playing MotorStorm at Target the other day and the thing completely reset on me to the home screen. Maybe that's what he was making reference to (while trying to hide the fact that the consoles are sometimes locking up)?

I've never seen a PS3 turn off or freeze up. I've seen one playing that one racing game, chugging along at 5 FPS.

Although when I worked at Toys R Us, they shipped the demo station to us without working controllers.

As a electronics store employee, I have to vouch for the writer of the article, after reading this I contacted my sony rep, and the systems will shut off , freeze and have to be resetted in order to play it again, and as she told me, it was to stop over usage of the system.

Actually, I worked in the electronics department because I'm a Computer Network Engineering Technologist that got tired from working for Toshiba and Monster.com. I enjoy video games, so I wanted to do something that involved them.

Microsoft doesn't make games either. Nintendo does, and does a hell of a lot better job of it than any Sony team could.

And by the way, I WAS offered a job to support Windows Vista from Microsoft. I chose not to take it as I'm currently moving out of the area.

I say:

Oh yes, btw gamez, the Wiimote feels much better than that piece of shit that you call a PS3 controller.

And if we have to mention one more time that Nintendo is the only one that actually MAKE their own games instead of buying a company and slapping WE DONE GIVE A SHIT ... OOPS SONY all over it then so be it.

I think you need to realise what a piece of shit the PS3 actually is.

Exactly my point. Gamez1 was scared shitless that I know exactly what I'm talking about, whereas he knows "Microsoft" and "Vista" and "XP" and thinks he can sound important. I know for a fact that grammar, syntax and punctuation make a huge importance in programming, and programmers need to stay on top of their abilities so it's rare to find them talking like a 12 year old prepubescent moron. Congratulations, you have no life, no future, and no brain.

Playstation 3 is going to have nothing but re-releases. Nintendo is beating them 3 times over in sales, and every week we hear about Sony exclusives jumping ship.

I own a PS2, and it is the best system to date. Look at all the games. So when I herd Sony was making a new system. I was ready to buy it then Sony wnet down hill. Look at the Plasma Tv problems they had. Do you see any Sony Plasma TVs? NOPE!! they all leaked.

Why PS3 Will Fail.

1)Not enought systems for the few who want it. An those who have them are trying to sell them.

2)Extremely expensive, don't people have better things to do with their money. Go to school and start to save for the future people.

3)Blu-Ray has major competition and not much support. Beta, UMD and now blue-ray. HD-DVD will clearly win the war. Sony just used the PS3 to trick people into Blue-Ray

4)PS3 requires significant additional investment. To even get the syetem to look good you need to spend even more money on a HDTV. Lets face it HD is not here and and wont be for along long time.

5)No “wow” factor yet. The launch games were lame. Better graphics does not mean better games. They will have some killer hits coming but how can you spend $700CAN min for 3 killer games?

6)The loss of exclusives. Simply Put

7)No innovation. lets put a bunch of hardware no one wants and steal other companies ideas (Nintendo) and call it our own. Thats Sony for you.

It's dissapointing to see how it turns out for Sony. Anyway I'm giving them a chance (because I'm just plain fair :p). Microsoft got 1 year ahead of everyone, it's fair to give Sony and Nintendo the same to show off their respective product.

Alright, Sony got a slow start, it will be like that for a year or two probably (I mean, c'mon, they're trying to figure out to plug this thing right now in gaming studios lol). If we're looking at the reality, right now for this year, we'll see 5 wii games for 3 360 and 1 PS3. The same went with the 360 last year. It took weeks before hearing about new titles. Now that developers have mastered the console (at least a bit) we're getting pretty fancy titles like GoW, Oblivion and Blue Dragon :). For Nintendo, bah, I guess they won't have problems developing new games, since it's about the same as the NGC.

Anyway, I'm no fanboy, but I'm sure in 2 years we'll have 3 marvelous consoles doing their job as entertaining gamers. For now let the river flow beneath the bridge.

GAMEZ1 YOU DIRTY PIECE OF SHIT:

1) Name one Sony franchise that can't be played on other systems. Exactly. God of War and Gran Turismo 5 are all going to be playable on the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360.

2) Sony is pretty much responsible for 9/11, the conflict in the middle east, and SARS in Toronto, so no matter what you say about the company, they have caused destruction and misery to many.

3) Everyone says the PS3 has worse graphics than the n64....i mean common look at the shitty graphics you dumb shit they are crap and it does not do 1080p like the Nintendo Wii u fucking wanker.

4) The system costs more than 10 Chinese Mainland Prostitutes which is ridiculous because they are pretty fucking expensive. I would rather someone punch me in the face than give me a PS3 for free you fucking moron.

5) Anything GAMEZ1 says is complete bullshit because not only does he take it up the ass, but he works for Sony, as we can all tell by his inferior intelligence.

6) Sony does not know how to make a system and they are all about money. They want to rape the children of consumers and conquer the triforce of the dark kitten.

7) PS3 is not revolutionary at all. With worse graphics than the superior PS2 and GameCube, the system simply does not make sense. Honestly, I spoke to a sony rep and he told me that the whole company is fucking retarded and stupid.

8) GAMEZ1...JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE RAPED BY A GUY WEARING A NINTENDO SHIRT DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN START HATING ON THE CONSOLE YOU FUCKING DIPSHIT MOHTHERFUCKER OMG

9) Steve, this is for you son.

heres how i see it.
Resistance is the only good game for the PS3. but what could be better than that? oh yeah, Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Halo, Halo 2. and if you're going to complain about graphics. Half-Life:Source. What allows Nintendo to make such great first party games is that they allow the developers to work with the developement of the console. sony and microsoft are like "here this is what it can do, make a game". it took a year for someone to get Gears of War out of the 360. and its better than Resistance. it took a couple of years to get Resident Evil 4 out of Gamecube. but look at it! its fucking awesome!

Ballistic90: I'm not siding with that moron gamez1, but I have to correct your statement about Sony not making games. Sony purchased Zipper Interactive in January 2006. They also own Guerrilla Games (Killzone), Incognito Entertainment (Twisted Metal), and Naughty Dog (Jak and Daxter).

So Sony didn't used to make games, but they do now by buying up all the game studios.
