^ well guys i called up sony again. They said that the slim would only come with a 90 day warranty. I have heard people having problems with there consoles breaking when they have gotten refurbs from sony. So my question to you. Would you wait 3-4 weeks for the turnaround and getting a refurbished console with 90 day warranty that may break or just buy a new console for 299.99. Alot of people are saying that just buying a new console would be better. but of course the refurb is much cheaper, What would Vgchartz do in my situation? Oh and i have like 4 ps2's so bc really isnt that important to me. 


My PS3 got YLOD too you know i sent to sony AND THEY REPAIRED NOT ONLY YLOD but some outside that was broken for only 145 euros you will never see a backwards compability model again the only thing you have to do is to sent to sony and make an HDD upgrade after

when they sent me my ps3 back it was smelling newness just like june 2007 when i bought my repaired model has no issues at all

As far as I know, all refurbs are shipped with brand new case/housings. Mine had the protective contact film still attached to all panels.

SCE rarely "fixes" your specific console due to the extra turnaround time involved. So in most cases with a YLOD turn in, you will be receiving a different console with a different serial number.
