Must watch it... doubt there'll be much on it, I think XBOX360's RRoD was worse and I don't think that was ever on Watchdog...

No, but the disc-scratching issue was.

There must be a lot of people suffering this problem with their PS3s, otherwise they wouldn't put it on the programme.

I used to watch WD, but now it just nit picks about unimportant issues. And for the record, still no problems with my 2 year old PS3

They are generally idiots that ran out of legitamate complaints a few years ago which is why the PS3 is on it with it's like 5% failure rate or something lol.. They really won't find much bad to say about the system as the consoles failure rate is well in line with what it should be considering the sales.

Depends what Anne Robinson has to say about it. She is so scary apparently that customer service callers won't even talk to her. She has to have someone else talk to them when she has problems with something like a Washing Machine.

Anyway I reckon the issue might of been raised either by a parent who bought a 360 years before for their children and has a flip at it failing or more likely in my opinion the nearest UK Call Centre. Took ages for me to get through, could be miscommunication that caused something to go wrong. Anyway its usually an issue brought up by the customer that triggers Watchdog to investigate.

re: Watchdog Investigates PS3 17th September( YLOD)

Lol'd at some of the comments here.

You really think they went "Damn, were out of ideas. I know lets go fix some complaints on Sony and investigate!"

Of course not, their investigations are complaint based. Which means a lot of people have actually rang in and complained for them enough to investigate.

You really think they would show it and go "Yeah, there actually was no complaints we just faked it to get you watching, sorry".

Of course not, calling a show desperate and stupid for replying to the complaints they have received is retarded. Their not fanboys, I bet they hardley even follow the consoles before they start investigating.

PS3 failure rate is quite low in comparison to the 360. It's actually known to have quite a rock solid degree of reliability.

As far as I know the 60GB models are the ones most vulnerable to the YLOD.

They indeed must be extremely desperate. Creating problems out of thin air.

No, that's magic. Reality > Magic.
