You probably shouldn't buy consoles second-hand in the future. As you won't be able to prove original purchase date, etc.

I don't like second-hand consoles too, but Nintendo and Microsoft (and all other electronics manufacturers for that matter) don't use receipts for repairs, but serial numbers. I guess Sony likes its costumers angry and frustrated.
I will try the system restore option (first making some backups) and if that doesn't work, I'll call Sony. Who knows, maybe they'll repair it for free after all... |
I still don't get this thread. You bought something, second-hand, and you expect the manufacturer to replace/fix it, for free, when god only knows what the first owner of the system did to it. Maybe you shouldn't have tried to be frugal and bought a new one. |
Can't you read? ALL companies don't give a rat's ass about receipts, it's the serial code that counts. I didn't know Sony was so anal about receipts. |
besides how many people here would buy my used 60 gig launch PS3 over a new 40 gig balless one??? I hear a lot of people want the original with the emotion chip set! obviously you probably got a good deal used so if they do charge to fix it it would probably run around $149.95 just call and let us know! |
From what I've read the 60 GB runs hotter than the 40Gb because of the extra hardware. One here complained how loud their 60 Gb fan (run at much higher speeds) got while watching Blu-ray movies while My 40GB fan doesn't speed up at all running Blu-ray movies. There only a few times I've heard the fan run at higher speed (a few times playing Uncharted) and even then only a few minutes.
So since the emotion chip produces more heat I rather not have BC since I still have 2 working PS2.
