Do you play it everyday for more than six hours a day because that is outragous? I even dumped beer on my 360 a week after buying it and it never broke. Weird.

don't play it anywhere near that much so yes it is outragous.

When the shortages end pretty much. They've been caused by their transition to the 45nm process on their GPU so there shouldn't be much difference. The FCC filings recently confirm its coming as the console is 200g lighter.

Thanks

Buying a new system I could then get a store warenty as well at least then I would have better than just 90 days.  

Good luck with your new system. It should be even better for Blu Ray + Gaming as it'll be a lot quieter, especially the new slims when they come out which ought to solve a few of the worries people have about heat as its the 1st revision of the new design.



Tease.

Is this the same PS3 again and again or are they sending you a refurb each time?

My original 60G still works fine to this day i even had it on in a closed cabinet one time on accident while i was at work all day. I opened that cabinet and it was hot as hell in there.

Slim my friend Slim. Is time for the bad luck to leave. I have a 80 gig metal gear solid with BC and that's my only reason to not get a slim. Once it goes out though I'll probably get one.

120 gig slim only 299
cooler 29.99
metal gear solid 4. 29.99
Sony HDTV. 32,000
having BC in one of the best ps3s to ever come out
PRICELESS

What Sony tv costs that much?

I've had 2 PS3's since my first purchase slightly after release. The first one died almost 2 years in, not even taking the best care of it. I think I moved twice in that span. Always had my intercooler on it in those early PS3 days, you'd be stupid not to. Now my 2nd PS3 is running smooth after years still. Oh and my first one was replaced through the best buy warranty I purchased at the time of purchase. You'd be pretty stupid to purchase an expensive system and not buy the in store warranty and hope to only rely on the manufactures warranty, although it is quite good and quite reliable. You must be throwing your PS3's off of rooftops. Or you just fail at life. My guess... All of the above.

LOL, actually its the other way around, always purchasing warranty on your stuff will result in a much higher price than paying for the reparation you may encounter. In store warranty is about 50% profit, trust me ;). You would be better off not taking them, unless your unable to leave a couple of hundreads in your bank account to take care of reparation if problems arise. Sure if I would be selling you an appliance right now I wouldnt have the same speech ;) lol.

damn, what are u doing with your PS3? i have the old 40GB from along time ago and it hasn't died since. I replaced the HD with a 250GB, but thats just cause I wanted more space, nothing is wrong with the other HD.
