60GB UK PS3 Failure

Hi all,

I like some for you bought a new PS3 on the launch day. It has done nearly 2 years fault free service.........until yesterday.

i get 3 errors

80010514, 80029906, 80029941

i have just phoned sony and the guy said the blu-ray drive has given up and i need to cough up £182.50 to get it fixed.

heres my question:1. would i be able to successfully argue under the sales of goods act that the console was not of satisfactory quality?

2. on the sony website there is a offering of £2.49 a month insurance, am i allowed to take that out then claim on it straight away?

Thanks people!

The 60GIG is the worst PS3 to get, because it has a highly failure rate than the 40 and 180. But, I can only suggest you save up and get it repaired for £150 - £200.

Bad news.. I've not had any problems with my 60gig (Upgraded to 320gb) but that's a painful amount of money to spend on a fix.

I dont think you'll have much joy with the being fit for purpose, the machine has worked for 2 years and the counter argument could be misuse or over use so you'll have a hard time getting it done free.
