Amazingly, after the lack of use and working fine for the year I've had it, it's screwed up! It just showed the backround and did nothing after many tries. I redid the hard drive and it still didn't work. I got a warranty so hopefully I can get a refund. It was only a year old too!

you can't get a refund after a year of usage ,,,,you can get it fixed with that warranty but not refund.

sorry for your loss :(

That sucks man :(

My original 40GB fatty still works, and my Slim is also running well.. No issues for me, but my original 360 works fine also. Hell, I still have my fat PS2 and PS1 that work perfectly. Though, I misplaced my PS1 somewhere. I've never been unlucky with my consoles, they just don't break. I own a bunch of stuff. I'd be able to use my SNES also if I didn't sell my last game (FF6)..

I have an extended warranty from Target, I'm pretty sure it's exchange or refund.

It seems like the common denominator in Broken PS3 cases is lack of regular use...

It wasn't YLOD though :/ I never get the common errors.

I'm sorry bro, I hope you're still on warranty. These things tend to happen unexpectedly, So I would always purchase the warranty just in case. BTW is this a PS3 Slim or Fat model?

The newest Fat before the Slim.

Funny coincidence as my 360 dosn't want to work. Right before COD time oh god why?
