This is not goina be very well accepted.

Damage control will follow shortly.

And you should bitch the living fuck out of Sony so they might fix it for free or something....unlikely, but you never know till you try.  I feel for you....its never fun having broken consoles.

I tried. Dude keeps talking policy, policy, policy...they can't even guarantee I'll get the same console back which is more important than anything else. I've always hated corporations but now...I can't descibe the hatred. Due to the lack of individuality in the process, no one can feel your pain. People just operate robotically.

regardless if they give you tha same PS3 back...they will still wipe the hardrive

Why do they wipe the hardrive's?  That seems like a dick move imo.

I asked when my first PS3 broke.  They said it was to ensure no chance of your photos, etc. ending up somewhere else, etc.  Nonsense.  They do it so they can turn up, take your PS3, hand you one with a blank drive, take yours, fix it, wipe the drive and them deliver that to someone else when their's breaks.

The best thing is when you phone up to indicate your PS3 isn't booting up they advise you to back up everything before the swap as you can't get your HDD back.  Priceless advice.

Then, just to make it funnier, if you have your own HDD (as I do) when you put it back in you have to format it and then restore all the content as the HDD is coded to your old PS3 until you format it with your new one.

Still, I do like the big shiny black thing, I just wish handling its replacement was a lot easier.

 

Thank you very much for that. This is what the lady I talked to first told me. If my ps3 had power problems how the hell can I back up data? I talked to the Play N trade guys, hopefully they can fix this.
