Sony Sez: PS3 units freezing on purpose

"So dude over there," I said pointing to the busy clerk, "says he keeps the kiosk off because it keeps freezing up."

"Nope. No it doesn't."

"Well, actually, yeah. It does. I've seen it happen myself."

"No. It doesn't. We did that on purpose," he said.

"You make the entire console lock up on purpose because ... why?"

"We do that so that people won't play it all day long," he explained. "Specifically during Motorstorm, we made it freeze up a lot."
Remember Sony, any crackhead you send out into the field to do anything in the name of your company instantly becomes a representative, like it or not. Reminds me of some of the crap I've seen in old training videos.

EDIT: Oops, meant to post this in CE.

I read that story earlier, but I don't believe it. Those reps typically don't know what they are talking about.

Reps are trained to spit pro-whoevertheyworkfor propaganda. Even if it is wrong in all aspects of wrong they're still spitting it out. Being they are reps their word reflects upon Sony.
