YES, the doorbell rang, postman Here I got a gameconsole for ya..

My face went from :l to :) to :D to <@:DDDDDDD

now its installing 3.01 as slow as im used to :) However I am thinking about buying a bigger HDD before installing all kinds of Game updates..

40GB is not enough for me :O

it has been away a total of 18 days I think and it broke 22 days ago.. I was out of warranty but Sony still repaired it for free wich is IMO awesome :)

YAY :D

Congratulations, I hope you have fun with your new and improved PS3!

I recommend getting a 1 tb hdd haha.

congrats

is it improved? certainly it was improved from when it died :P but improved from its original?

also the payment proof paper thingy said 40GB PS3 black Japan.. did I get back a Japanese PS3? lol

Congrats! I get mine back in 2 days. I can't wait!!!!

Congrats, you are right about the HDD space. I have a 60GB, and I changed the HDD to a 250GB, no all I a have left on that is 55GB, so i'm actually waiting for the 1TB i'm hearing rumors about, I hope it comes soon.

the PS3 can handle 1TB drives?
awesome - I thought the max was 500GB :|

(I've got a 250GB one in mine atm...only 110GB free)

Problem is with bigger hardrives you'll be filling them up faster in the end as you know you've got the space so you say "to hell with conserving space" =]

Not to worry you or aynthing, but it is pretty known fact that refurbished PS3s don't last that long. At least you got it fixed for free. I will never pay for a console to be repaired
