My PS3 Has Died !!!!!
 

Only had it just over a year. Now it won't read any games at all.

Sony will pick it up in 8 days, then it will take 21 days before i get it back. Thanks Sony... :mad:

Damn, 21 days? That sucks

I'll probably have done this to it by then.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

go buy one at best buy and just return it before the 30 day period is up :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Either do that or put your dead one in the box and return it :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Shit, you have a bad week...

Pick it up from you? Why not just send it to them?

They scan in the serial numbers now :(

I asked but they said this is how they do it here. I guess it doesn't make much difference. By the time the shitty mail system here would deliver it to them, it would be 8 days or more anyway...

Swap the exterior shells.

take it to walmart, they take anything back, even if they dont sell it

Not sure about the PS3, but on the 360 they have the warranty seal and EB even puts a similar refurbished tag in the same spot.

Break the seal and you're stuck.

This is true too. :1orglaugh

I do not know, I would never do it.

Get a 360? :D :D

Take it to any computer shop they will be able to fix it. I would rather pay than wait a month to get it back, it wont cost much anyway.

I buy up the broken ones, fix and resell 'em. Microsoft has their's and the different game shops do the same thing. Even the local mom and pop shop does the same thing. It's a smart move, as referenced by your suggestion. :winkwink:

There is probably someone local who's doing 360 and PS3 repairs. If you don't want to wait.

No way. They are even less reliable than the PS3... :1orglaugh

Oh man that sucks. If my ps3 dies I would freak the fuck out....

To each his own I guess, I have yet to have 1 problem with my 360 in the year I've owned it.

Dam, sorry to hear. I feel some COD withdrawls coming :(

Yeah, in the 1 year though. Most people i know who have a 360 have had problems at some point. Of course not every machine will be like that, but certainly a good few...

You got that right. I just got the flamethrower a few days ago too... :1orglaugh:Oh crap:1orglaugh:Oh crap

Buy from Amazon.com.

When my PS3 stopped reading discs less than two months after I got it, I called Amazon up and they shipped one out to me immediately. Plus they sent a pre-paid return shipping label to me by email.

I received the brand new replacement in a few days and still hadn't even shipped the faulty one yet.

Well at least you don't have to deal with that RROD bullshit that xboxers complain about all the time.

That's too bad, mine's been great so far.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
best advice

Wait for SP4 it will last 10 hours at most!!!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I am so much happier with my PS3 with BluRay player than I ever would be with an XBox 360 oh and what was that thing they had..oh yeah... HD -DVD...

Well think of it this way, you 'll get more work done in those 21 days. I just shipped out my Xbox 360 on Tuesday due to the dreaded RROD, I won't see it back for 4 weeks. Guess I can get more done or even pick up these strange things everyone is talking about called a 'book'.

PS3 sucks, get a 360!

that is good service

I feel your pain :(

I actually stocked up on the HDDVD players when BestBuy was blowing them out for $20-40. I have the original one we paid out the ass for. One hooked up to my PC and three in the attic in case any of the break.

I've been hording the HDDVDs too. You can find them online for $5 if you know where to look. We've got a HUGE collection. I don't care if they don't make them anymore.

FUCK PS3...do yourself a favor and get an Xbox360!!

Like i said before, 360 is an even less reliable machine. Almost everyone i know has had problems...

That sucks, I feel sorry for you.

PS3 going back it won't read movies had it less than a year. xb360 has gone back 4 times in 2 years.

Instead of them rushing out consoles, they should actually take time to fucking test them properly first... :disgust

same thing happened to my brother in law :/

I just got the red ring of death on the 360 this weekend.
