Either Pay Sony? Or save for a Slim and it sucks ass that you cant get your saved games back.

 

Wish Sony would of built a more reliable system...

 

You still got a 360 right? and was your PS3 a 60 gig B/C??

No your right you never said the 360 was more reliable, and im glad you didnt cause i wouldnt want to call you a liar either  "wish sony built a reliable system" is it not currently one of the best for failure rates this gen?

and then asking him if he has still got his 360? what are you playing at man , not cool! if his 360 went he'd have made a  thread on it.


  Don't knwo if this is of any use dude, but good luck, try ringing Sony anyway, you may catch someone on a good day that will help

If i was to say 360 was more reliable than ps3 would make THE biggest Xbot on this site!

 

@Steroid

 

No he can take his HDD out,and swap it in his new PS3. His stuff should still be on it.

If you did a full system backup (rather than just saving your save games to a flashdrive) the PSN game will also be restored.

Sucks for you :( Hope it never happens to me >_

No it reformats the data. It's a piracy protection thing. He can redownload any games he bought but his saves are gone.

i love my 80GB it has backwards... and no big deal about the saves, i had them all on back up ever since i heard about makingmusics issue, the REAL question i want to know is will all my bought PSN games still be in tact?

Duh. You can't download an unlimited amount of times on up to 5 machines at once.

I never once said the 360 was very reliable. MS fixed the RROD, Sony does not, you have to pay Sony. Dont hate the player hate the console maker!

You're not lieing, but your statement is misleading.  MS fixes 'RROD' at no charge, but other problems they do not.  Which I'd think it makes the warranties actually very similar.  

Call up sony, ask for a quote on how much it's going to cost you with shipping, try to get them to pay for it. After you know the cost then make your decision, on whether to ebay it and get a slim. Tell them you want the saves intact. A PS3's still a PS3 - fat or slim.
