Um my PS3 will read games but only for 45mints Sucks balls. Thats why i really need to go to PC gaming. And i almost did a deal with a guy on here before my ps3 broke. I was going to trade a working PS3 and 400 Cash for a Pc before it broke.

yeah I would have been pissed had teh ps3 broke on me

the hardest part about replacing the PS3 drive is flashing the ps3 HDD to recognize the new drive

new poll. im starting to think its worth buying the slim because i would assume that some of the hardware issues have been resolved and i heard somewhere the slim is more efficient as far as power consumption

My 1st PS3 broke right after the 90 day warrenty window. That was a 20 gig. Get a 360 and it comes with a 3 year warrenty!!

so after looking up the new slim version im sending mine back to get fixed. it is cheaper for one and the original has multicard reader which i use still, and 4 usb ports which is required for rock band... so i am sending it out this week. :)

eh if the price is right lol not buying new or a rrod unless its covered under warranty.

but as soon as you open it up you void teh warranty.

the slim ps3 can change the hdd without voiding the warranty. :)

yeah xbox gets RROD alot. at least for me. i've had it 2x now but i just call up. they send me a box with a shipping lable inside and the foam and all that stuff to ship it, if you complain you get xbox live gold for 3 months. also if you complain enough they go faster. they told me 3-6 weeks. my mom got on the phone and i got it back in 5 days

update: i got my ps3 back this week. i had mine repaired..well replaced with a refurb. the ps3 slim is lacking in comparison to the original so i decided against that.

My PS3 started working again from the 3.10 update! Now i can sell it for a'lot more! And i'v been playing it for about 2 weeks now and no freezes or mess ups.

The same thing happened to my PS3. Had it for 4 months and the disc drive stopped reading any disc format. Sent it back and got a new one for free, not a refurb. I've had this one for almost 2 years now and it hasn't given me a problem. I'm just hoping it doesn't die because I really don't like the new slim version.

I'm sending my 60GB in to Sony as much as i don't want to. I cant wait to have it working again and buy some new games "MW2"
