Sony Warns of PS3 Scams

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the don't-take-any-wooden-consoles dept.

GameDaily reports that Sony is warning of scams based around their PlayStation 3 console. The company has apparently noticed enough scamming web-based offers that it felt the need to warn consumers. From the article: "It's become increasingly common with new console launches for some consumers to buy up whole batches of a system, only to sell them immediately on sites like eBay for major profits. Beyond that, however, there are certain even more seedy individuals out there who unfortunately will do anything they can to scam you out of your money completely. They know that some consumers get desperate when it comes to purchasing a newly launched console and they'll do anything they can to exploit that."

    Three axes of translation + three axes of rotation = 6-axis controller.

    Get over it.

    Six axes:
    1. X
    2. Y
    3. Z
    4. Roll
    5. Pitch
    6. Yaw

    Count 'em. Six. I'm not a Sony apologist. Just a pedant.
