Further to PS3 ranting...:
I bought a PS3 250gb slim in Chch in late May. Played it hard out for a couple weeks (had leave, and sent wife to Mongolia) and then I got burgled, and lost it.
No worries, that's what insurance is for (pity about all 2wks worth of saved games I had to play again to catch up to where I was...), so I got a new machine after a few weeks. It doesn't get a lot of use, but I break it out every now and then and spend a couple of hours blowing shit up.
But the last couple of days, it's been crashing/freezing. It's done it twice in about 2 hrs now just tonight. No error msgs, no warnings, just a freeze, then a blank screen. So I have to force a restart. I
think it's only happened when I tried to go online with Red Dead Redemption (wasn't paying enough attention to what I was doing when it crashed).
It sits on a low coffee table, vents are well clear but it feels quite warm to the touch. But as I say, it hasn't been getting thrashed for hours on end.
Anyone else got a slim? Having problems? Should I be worried? Google (and co) tells me that there have been a few problems with 250gb slims along these lines, but all that info comes from o/seas websites. Hence I am looking to see if any NZers have had problems like this...
Anyone?
