Mine broke, they sent a courier with a refurbished 60GB (they had stopped making them) in a few days, but that console was faulty, so I got yet another one a few days later. The problem was that for various reasons, it took me a month to call Sony... that was a painful month, especially as I had just got the CoD 4 bug

MS stole my X360 HDD, the bastards. That's one of the reasons I decided to sell it. Glad to see I wasn't the only one with repair issues.

I consider myself lucky, Both PS3s I have sent back, 1 mine 1 my brothers, came back in 2 weeks. The PSP I sent back came back in 3 week. All three I had no problems with. My 360 was also only gone a couple weeks.

I actually had a very pleasant experience with the sony people. My ps3 broke... the optical drive broke and i called up sony they asked me a series of questions which i knew the answer to and i said that i got a weird error message. they knew exactly what it was. THen he asks if i am under warranty i said only off by two weeks. So he helped me out and got it fixed for free when it would have been 150 becuase i was only two weeks off warranty. My Ps3 then came back in a week in a half. I think its a good idea to tell them exactly what you think is wrong

I'm in the same boat. My 60GB broke this past May but got it back in four days. Then last month, it broke again - still haven't gotten the box after a week. I want to play my PS2 games!

I must be one of the lucky ones, I live pretty close to a Sony repair shop so if mine breaks i can just take it in. The first time my 60gb had heating issues and i got a refurb when i took it in while waiting.

My second issue was a YLOD so a new BD drive and motherboard, and got the system back within 24hours.

My third problem was another motherboard and took 48hours from the time i brought in it.

*Backs up 60GB PS3 again*

Sorry to hear about your (and I'm sure others) unfortunate situation.
