If you're in NA I think it'll cost $150 for Sony to fix it.

Call Sony, get them to send you a box. Put your PS3 in the box, send it to them, they fix it for $150, and you get your PS3 back a few weeks later.

You will get your console back if it can be repaired, otherwise you get a different one. Be sure to mention that you have your own HDD in the PS3, and be sure to mention GTA4 is still in your PS3 when you call them.

All your credit card info is tied in with your PSN account. It's not on your console's hard drive. They will put your 320GB HDD in the console they send back to you, and all of your data will still be there.

External fans just gonna mess stuff up... Just make sure it is in a completely open space and use a low powered bristle attachment vacuum to clean your PS3 every once in a while... Dust clogs the vents, and external fans are a waist at that point anyway...

Uh oh. Sucks for you. :( At least E74 is covered by the 3 year warranty just like the RRoD. Sony needs to have a warranty like that for the YLoD.

ummm.... if I were you, I would NOT leave your 320HDD in your Ps3. I took my HDD out when I sent my 60GB by for repair and they gave me a new (different) 60GB back with a new 60HDD and everything. I mean they completely gave me pretty much a new 60GB and said, there you go; start over.

If I were you I would put my original hdd back in and hold on to your 320 tbh. Good luck

Not trying to be rude but, I'm pretty sure you should put the original drive back in the PS3. I'd call Sony to make sure as I doubt they will be swapping harddrives for you.

I told the guy to make sure to tell Sony he has his own HDD and a game stuck in the system when he calls them. It's now up to him to do so. If he does that, everything will be alright.
