Reminds me that I should backup my PS3 this weekend though.
Maybe you should invest in like an 80GB external USB hard drive to back-up your whole PS3, after you get it back. You just go to the backup utility, come back 4 hours later, and it should be done.
Good luck and let us know how everything turns-out.
Can you keep your hard drive before you send it in? If you can't, that's a burn since the 60gb model is the most "complete" They for sure better give you a 60.
First the 360 several times and now the PS3. It really sucks that happens and this is one of the first PS3s I have seen that has bit the dust. Hope everything gets sorted out asap.
Keeping your HDD has no result unless they send you back the same exact console. When you put your HDD in a console with a different serial number, you're forced to reformat.
Always back up your PS3 saves to external HDD or memory card.
Still, there are those games that can not be copied, and you supposedly can't restore that data to a new console serial as well. In those cases you're SOL AFAIK.
Dude, your luck is insanely bad with systems...but then again thats the first PS3 and its a launch one so I guess its not too bad. Yeah you better get that emotion engine equipped PS3 back!
Luckily I still have my PS2 around, if my PS3 were to break I don't know what I'd do -- considering the only thing I use it for is PS1 and PS2 games. Hahah.
