Yeah my new MGS4 80GB PS3 died just 13 (unlucky) days after having it...even though no one here believed me. But after just a hair short of about 3 weeks I had the replacement in my hands from Sony, it's been working fine ever since. I guess crap happens, although today I was in my local Wally World and noticed that the Xbox 360 they had in their display had totally RRODd!!! :)

 

just one? i seen lines of it, they removed them for online showing because of it LOL

 

i should have taken a picture :)

some reason whenever a ps3 breaks, its because of cod4. check the forumns, ps3 owners whose consoles have died always say that they were playing cod4 and it happened.

 

Could it be because its one of the most popular PS3 games, and is probably has the longest (or close to) average session length, hence causing a vulnerable PS3 to overheat?

Or Cod4 is haunted... You know, science or magic - they're both good explanations.

 

Anyway, bad luck for having your PS3 die

Just wondering, if it dies how do you keep your downloads and all, on the 360 we just keep the HD on it as it detach from the top but the PS3 isn't it internal ?

 

all are linked to your PSN id. Save files might be gone unless your inteligent enough to know how to jam the HDD into a PC. I have the cables to do it, most dont though.

the PS3 is insanely hard to overheat. It takes an enclosed space + hours of gaming to do it. Really same lab tested it under the elements for weeks. The PS3 survived all of it.

Sorry to hear that. Thats weird for a PS3 to die. Its the one console Im least worried about breaking. Maybe Sony will give you some free stuff for your trouble.

probably send it in. is it a 40/60/80 gb? if it was a 60 gb...



Above I'm a proud Gran Turismo fan, not a Sony fanboy, and now a proud 360 owner, but sharing xbox live accts ATM

End of 2009 Predictions (made Jan 1, 2009): My predictions were pretty accurate, the 360 was over and the Wii was just under.

Wii: 65 mil (yea I'm crazy) 360: 35 mil (its getting there) PS3: 30 mil (the slim better do well)

End of 2010 Predictions (made Jan 7, 2010):

Wii: 81 mil  360: 47 mil PS3: 45 mil

I think MS moneyhatted Activison to put some code in the PS3 version of COD4 that would screw up PS3's

/conspiracy theory

Tough luck buddy, hope you can get it fixed soon.

throw it away and buy a cheap 360

Please lock this thread Mods. I see this is a flamebait/ troll thread. Ps3 fans will not be happy hearing about this and some will obviously want to question the legitinacy of the OP's claim.
