At first, on this debate, I sided with the crowd who said "Yes, they should fix it for free, it's their shit." That is, I was, until I saw pictures.
At The Consumerist, where I got these pictures, there is a debate and a poll about this same subject. The poll stands at about 55/45 in favor of Sony replacing this disgusting monolith for free. My personal belief is that this person's neglect of general maintenance has contributed to the failure of the unit. It doesn't take much to wipe off your Playstation 3, much less occasionally blow out dust, as I do with all 3 of my consoles, my surround sound system and my television.
The general rule of thumb, or rule of wrist in this situation, is that taking care of your shit makes it last longer. That's why, after a year and a half of service, my delightful MacBook and my wife's 2 year old Sony laptop are both in relatively good condition (I have stress cracks on the corner of my notebook, due to a poor choice in plastics, my wife's computer is mint) and my brother's Dell is duct taped at the hinges and around the monitor. At around the same age.
He believes that he will wring out another 6 months.
I just disassembled it to remove a screw mount that was rolling around and causing leads to short and smoke.
Fox News stuck their big nose into the Playstation 3 fuckup's situation, too. I don't know if you'd heard about it.
They used an actor to portray the guy.
Why? Probably because this guy knows he'd never get another date once someone figured out how abso-fuckin'-lutely filthy he is.
Update: I don't actually believe that the kid on fox news is the kid with the nasty ps3. In the off-chance that I'm wrong, I hope this shit kills his career.

That reminds me that I need to take a can of compressed air to my computer and Tivo one of these days. And that I need to buy an Xbox 360.
Don't be that guy, Jeremy... at least... anymore than you already are.
