Bought an 80Gb one in June last year, it died in October. I don't actually know what the problem was other than it was some kind of red screen of death...

The refurb is going fine.... so far.

the ps3 does not have a red screen of death problem, it can get YLOD or Bluray-drive problems.

Yes, obviously I imagined it all and got a refurb for no reason...

maybe you just did not understand what was wrong with it, i was just pointing out and not being mean

Look, whenever I turned it on, I was greeted with a red screen which said 'a serious error has occured, contact tech support' in every language imaginable.

There was no YLOD, there was no Blu-Ray problem...

Tech support told me nothing other than there was nothing they could do and it would have to be replaced.

Here we go, I just found an image of it on google.
