Now I bought a PS3 in 2007 hoping it will be all kinds of awesome and it was.I been through a lot with my PS3 like thunderstorms, drops, and even dog piss. 
I bought one  because I wanted a reliable system not that  heat box 360 [note don't flame me it was a joke].
So about two months ago I turn it on to play GOW Collection. and guess what..... it wouldn't come on :( I got the ylod which I thought would never happen to me.
So I called Sony to find out how much for a fix......They told me that since i didn't have a warranty it would cost me $179 dollars which is more than half of what a New PS3 cost now wtf...The worst part is that they will replace it with a whole different PS3. So I am going to buy a slim instead in May and just have 2 PS3s.
 But thanks to this I have been playing my Wii alot more :)
