Gamers mourn: PS3 units die too

If we would name something as the biggest news of the century, it won’t be Nintendo buying Sony and Microsoft. Everything pales in comparison to what we just found. A tragedy it may be, but the heart of evil would laugh at such event. What exactly is this tear jerking news? A PS3 unit just died.

You read that right. The Xbox 360 might be suffering a 33% failure rate, but owners of the box are reported to be having the time of their lives. That isn’t the case with this young man who desperately tried to save his dying PS3. You must be pretty intrigued now, so we’ll get on with it.

There’s this poster over the Blu-ray.com forums going by the name BluManta. On the post he made, he told the story of his friend who called him after said friend’s PS3 “just died for no reason.” Our hero in the making asked if any broken games, DVDs, or Blu-rays were used on the unit. Answers were all “no.”

Finally, BluManta decided to venture over to his friend’s place. To his shock that could shake the whole world, the mentioned dead PS3 had duct tapes over the vent. Why you ask? His friend answered, “I am really cautious about my ps3. I really look after it. I don’t want dust getting inside it so I covered up the holes to stop dust from getting in.”

Thus, another console died and it wasn’t a 360. Our condolences go to the broken PS3’s owner, and salutations to his friend who valiantly attempted to find out what was going on and tell everyone about it.
