That sucks dude. A laser can be replaced without changing the console. I'm pretty sure sony can fix that without sending you a new one.
I have a 60 gb as well and I got the yellow light of death. they couldn't fix mine so they sent me another one. The thing is, it was brand new or at least looked that way and was still a good ol' 60gb. I specifically told the guy on the phone that didn't want any other ps3 model though.

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler
