Sony needs to learn a lesson from Nintendo

So on Tuesday Sony released an update to the PS3 which I was forced to download and install in order to continue using the PlayStation network. Now everything was going fine until it tried to install the update. It tries to install but fails at two percent and them tells me to reset the PS3. I then do this but when i turn it back on it tries to install the update again and fails. This happens every time.  So I called up Sony and told them my problem.  They had me try and boot it in safe mode but it didn't work. They then told me I would have to send it in at the cost of $139.  My question to Sony is why should I have to pay to have my PS3 serviced when your mandatory update screwed it up? I know it is out of warranty but if you hadn't sent out that update it would still be working. I don't see how your update crippling my system is any different then if you came into my home and smashed my PS3 with a baseball bat.  Now you are probably wondering what the title of this past has to do with anything I just mentioned.  It is because I had almost the same thing happen to my Wii a few months ago. However when I talked to them they said we are sorry and told me they would repair my Wii at no cost to me and they would warranty it for a year even though it was out of warranty. I have to say thank you Nintendo for treating your customers right.  I want to now ask my readers if they think I have a good small claims case against Sony. The initial fee to sue them would be $30 and I would probably sue for the cost of the PS3 plus any other legitimate damages I can add on. Let me know what you think.

Comic Con 2011 Final Day

So today I woke up bright and early to get into line for Hall H the largest panel room at Comic-Con. I went only to see the Doctor Who panel but ended up seeing Glee and Supernatural. The Glee panel did nothing to convince me to come back to watching their show however the Supernatural panel was quite a riot and even though I didn't get most of the jokes I'm am seriously thinking about watching the show. The main event however today was seeing Karen Gillian and Matt Smith from Doctor Who. They were extremely kind and even signed a young boys Full Size Dalek which he had built. They also showed a clip of an episode written by Toby Whithouse for the second half of this season. I have to say it looks fantastic. Overall I had a great time at Comic-Con this year and I hope to be able to attend Comic-Con 2012.

Comic Con 2011 & my 3DS

So I have been walking around Comic Con now for two days and I have set my mii Character to give out a link to my blog to other 3DS's that I pass in the hopes too see if some people my check out my little blog. I've been kind of lazy in writing about much lately and hopefully if I start getting some subscribers it might motivate me to write some more. So if you found this blog because my little Mii told you about it please let me know in the comments. Thank you.
