August 26th, 2007So far you’d be hard pressed to hear about any defects that the PS3 has suffered, but there does seem to have been some PS3 problems reported in Taiwan. Consoles launched in the region had a range of defects such as jammed memory cards and a possibility to overheat. Following the intervention of the Cabinet’s Consumer Protection Commision Sony of Asia has agreed to replace any PS3 consoles if they are suffering from ’serious defects’. Sony so far has replaced just two consoles that had faults regarding the power switches. So that’s three supposed defects? Has anyone experienced any of these on their PS3 machines?
