Sorry guys about the wall of text. LoL. total noob here. Yeah i have a pic of my dog right here, the one that passed away. you guys are talking about these 3rd parties that can fix your system. Any body know any? Even if tho i get my system fixed, all i care at this point
is to get my pictures of my old dog and try to recover my band files. Yea, I wont ever put any important data on a game machine ever again. So to any of you that do that, DONT! Anyways, even if i am able to recover the files, i probably wont be ever guy a playstation product again.
If i ever do, it wont be for a long, long time.

(new paragraph, THANK GOD) lol . Yea, I probably will be sitting the rest of this generation out. To keep myself entertained, I've been going through this N64 phase. I forgot how bad ass the system really was. I was grew up with Nintendo. I was born in 1985, the year a NES came out. And had started playing games since I was 2 and was converted to a playstation fanboy the first time I saw Tekken 2 on psone lol. But yeah, the reason why im probably sitting the rest of this generation out, is due to how I was screwed over by Sony mainly. And xbox 360 ive never really liked microsoft. (No offense 360 owners) Besides halo, nothing really wowed me. Maybe I've just never played them. And then theres the Wii. in which is the reason why i havent bought a nintendo system, due to Nintendo not caring about "gamers".

The only games that really honestly interest me on the Wii is all the Mario games, and I think thats only b/c i grew up with Nintendo. And with myself going through this N64 phase, it kinda makes me want to buy a Wii for Nintendo Nostalgic reasons. Are there any other games out there on the Wii that are worth buying the system for? And if your going to tell me stupid games like "Cooking Mama : Cook Off" or "Petz Catz 2" b/c your a Nintendo fanboy, dont bother. I want gamer games, not wiiware.

I look at Nintendo's system life spans and they usually are about 4-5 years. I think were getting pretty close to the end if history repeats itself with the Wii. However, Nintendo has also never seen the kind of sales it has for any of its systems compared to the Wii,
(Unfortunatley, in my opinon; to due Nintendo's non competitive tech and no gamer games) so they might continue the Wii for a very long time. Sales might end tho with Sony's wand and microsoft's natal. So we will see.

And how hard would you guys say it is to fix the YLOD yourself on the PS3? Is it worth it? I stand corrected which this makes me sound like a liar but yes I meant 90 days. Thats in the USA anyways.And no, its not Sony's fault that my dog died or I didnt back up my data. But it's called CUSTOMER SERVICE; i work in it, I should know. Sometimes companies bend over back wards to keep you as a future customer. However in this case, Sony did not take care of the customer. It's not even the fact that they wont fix it. Polies and procedures are 90 days and your 2 days late? Whatever. But its one thing after another where I've gotten the shaft. Those that didnt read the wall of text lol didnt read the rest of the issues. 1 of them being, all i asked for in a calm collective manor, that i would like to request that my ps3 be sent back to me left unfixed if they are not able to fix my exact console. Trust me, being a nice guy DOES NOT help when you want satisfaction. I tried it, and then since i wasnt able to get it, I asked to call their corporate office and I was told they cannot give out that number and there is no one else to talk to, and that wasnt even when i started sounding like an asshole.
