If a PS3 breaks down and it is not covered under warranty it will cost you a lot of money for it to be repaired. I would recommend throwing it in the bin instead of footing a $200 to $250 repair bill. The cost of repairing or replacing the blu-ray drive in PS3 or internal components combined with the labour costs make it very expensive. PS3 only has a 12 month warranty outside of that there is no warranty and you foot the bill for problems outside warranty period.
OP: I say accept the $75 offer from Sony.
