And he thought you should know.
He got it back a few weeks earlier than he expected, and Sony repaired it for free despite being out of warranty. He wanted me to point out that Sony's customer service rocks now. They also prepared mine for free back in January, despite being just over a year old.
He also pre-ordered LBP tonight. Paid in full. To quote him:
A few weeks ago, he wasn't quite so optimistic. xD
Anywho, I can't wait until he can post again tomorrow. :D
