I won't play TLoU multiplayer because the type of violence in the single-player is the same type of violence as in the multiplayer. And you KNOW that there are thousands of teenagers playing this, despite the fact that if it were a movie, it would probably be rated NC-17. So I don't envision myself playing it online and beating some 14 year old to death with a baseball bat or a lead pipe, or curb stomping them into oblivion.

Shit, that'd be a major selling point to me. Do you know how many kids that age NEED a good beating?

They took the update offline, and there'll be a fix / new update on the 27th. I'm using my PS3 online with no issues, and I was never asked to update to version 4.45

Not really a fan of PS3s at the moment. Sony has been pretty belligerent and are not being held responsible for putting out a product that simply stops working due to faulty design. Now this software shit...
Long live PCs for gaming.

Luckily you can disregard some opinions if you want. I've had mine for about 4 years and it still works fine, though if it did bust I dunno if I care enough to go out and buy another.

So you bought 3 PS3's that you knew were broken, and you're mad at Sony because you are incapable of fixing them???![]()

I am not mad at Sony in the least. However, considering that half of the PS3s in existence are YLOD and there are thousands of people who offer reflow/reballing services out there, it is pretty easy to conclude that Sony put out a poorly designed product.
I bought my PS3s to try and bring them back to life because so many people have had success in doing so. Two of them are launch 60gb models that are backwards compatible and one is a Slim that had GLOD.
My inability to bring them back to life means nothing considering I shouldn't have to bring them back to life in the first place. Get it slappy?

Dude, you bought them broken...and you knew it...That's nobodies fault but your own inept assCalling it a poorly designed product because you are too dumb to fix it is not anyone's fault but the user...ie: you.
I have a launch 60gb model that I've had since 2007 and use netflix on it at least 5 nights a week, and use it as my main dvd/blu-ray player...I have had ZERO issues with it. I also have a slim that I bought about 3 years ago for the bedroom, and that too gets use nearly daily...Nothing wrong.
Are there bad apples? Sure...but look what Microsoft released...worse than sony's failure rate by a nautical mile... (I also have a 360 that I have had zero problems with...)
Proper ventilation for the mother fucking win.

No I can read just fine...So you can't fix consoles you bought knowing they're broken? Blame Sony.
Oh and, fuck you indeed.
