The weird thing is that 1-800-345-SONY is really the Playstation number. As for where I work, it's just Sony Style. Hell, it's in Backstage, which is the tech desk in Sony Style, which is a retail store.
So I'm pretty far removed from the collective, as it were. That being said, if you're looking for a job, try sonyjobs.com. I know how "this is a hoax" that sounds, but that's actually the website.
As for Playstation group, they're pretty much the red-headed stepchild of the family. Nobody likes to talk to them. But it's not like Sony communicates much internally anyways - if you see a Sony product in a Sony movie, it's probably at least a year behind the current product line. I get that movies are filmed way in advance, but you'd think they'd make some prototype specifically for the movie, then go ahead and release it when the movie's out for MAXXX PROFIT$.

Oh my. It seems people are having the problem I had too. ._.
One day my blu-ray reader on my PS3 just decided to die. It was out of warra-....err...well actually, I think everyone knows that story already. Needless to say, I WAS going to turn it in for repairs, but Christmas was close and I wasn't about to give the machine away on the offchance that...
a. Sony might not fix it because of some unseen consequence, like trying to open the machine up (It was out of warranty, so sue me. I was paying THEM.)
b. If they can fix it it might not be fixed in time.
c. If they fix it it'd just break again, like it did for KBDG.
I honestly figure it had something to do with it being a 40gig model and something in the new firmware just not working right for the older models that just causes them to crap out. Thus, if they repair it with a new, working blu-ray drive of that same model type, it'd probably break again.
These people aren't thinking.
Anyhow, we ended up getting the cheap 120 gig slim. Typically, whenever I've seen "slim" versions released, it basically means they perfected the technology such so that it doesn't need to be bulky as hell and probably won't break so easily because of the newer technology. So I'm going to try and be confident, although I believe I saved the receipt in the box.
Sure hope no one threw it out ._.
It's funny, since I remember like...a week or so before it happened, the guy at Gamestop was going on and on about how Sony's equipment is so durable. Probably because he was trying to get me in a deal to buy a used controller and a Edge card rather than a brand new one (Which I eventually didn't need in the end because I ended up buying a new Ps3, so now I have 3 controllers).
I told him about that next time I saw him and he said some bullshit about how all blu-ray drives die eventually, and that if you play too many movies on it that'd happen...I thought I heard him say 20 movies, too. Which is absolute bullshit. A machine shouldn't break after playing 20 anything. Especially not blu-ray movies. I mean, goddamnit.
This is what you get when you rush out technology. They rush it out to catch the hype, overcharge for it because people will buy it anyway, and end up with so many problems afterwards. Same goes for Microsoft and the RROD.
If only the Wii explained its hardware to developers well enough to get some more decent games, it'd skyrocket.
