Apparantely, that means that it's still essentially a 60gb ps3, but it has gone through a re-manufacturing process which means it has brand new parts, and has gone through the same testing that a brand new console would go through. He also pointed out that they don't actually have a repair service for out of warranty systems, and that it would usually cost me £199 to exchange out of warranty systems, but he said that i have been on file since 1998 and haven't made a single claim since my ps1 was registered, so i get a "concession" of some sort and i don't have to pay a penny. i was quite pleased! the courier will arrive with my new ps3 on thursday, and all i have to do is exchange on the door. only problems are that i will lose all my game saves and hdd info, and my soul calibur 4 disc (which is still inside), won't be returned until MY PS3 goes through re-manufacturing), and that could take 3 weeks. Overall though, i'm really happy with the result, so i should be up and running again by thursday! |
You lucky SOB.
