Yes I done a blog sooo long ago (I Think) about the dear destruction of my ps3 via the yellow light. Phoned up sony, they decided to send a courier to which one arrived....momentarily. Ever since though I'd had this uneasy feeling, the fact that he thought he was coming to pick up a laptop didn't help, but could possibily be a compliment for my ps3 depending on what type of laptop ;P.
Anywhoo, picked up, phoned back...mmmmooomentarily, and stated that no my ps3 cannot be repaired =(. But instead they in exchange give me a 120GB Slim!
My original ps3 was one of the original 60GB's which apparently was known to be less reliable than most, so its YLOD was inevitable, just like all current-gen consoles though of course. A 120GB slim, double the space,...slimmer...and also meant to have a much less chance to give u the metaphorical finger via its pissy coloured light shining into your retina's.
Truth be told, I find it rather generous, I'll have to download eeeeverything again and all my save files have gone, but my PS-ID still exists so what was most precious for my ps3 is still intact. This was all free too, by which I mean as free as the warranty allowed of course.
Sooo any other fellow ps3 mourners out there? How did your service go about and furthermore, is microsoft under the same obligations too should the 360 decide to kapoot?
More importantly though, I'm just plenty to finally be having my ps3 back to me, even if its some newer model, ah well, I'm sure ps3's aren't quite smart enough to rebel....yet....so the ole 60GB will be left with fond memories.
That said though, I just hope it won't be the same courier who drops it off, probably bring me a black-tinted toaster or something.
