They probably wont give you a 60 gig since they stopped making them, but do they give you your money back or give a 80 gig?

They repair your 60 gig and send it back to you is what I'm hoping.

I'd hope so. If I had to send my 60gb in and got a 40gb in return that's grounds for a major lawsuit.

lol Sort of, I bet Sony has lawyers good enough to bend the legal system their way...it would be a nerve-wracking trial to be sure.

The 80 gig is the same price as the 60 gig was after the price drop, so if you don't get a 60 gig you better get an 80 gig.

It would still be a travesty. The 60gb has perfect BC.

Yeah, and they could always manufacture more if people w/ 60GB PS3s continue to experience problems - they were discontinued from the market after all, not from existence. :D

It would still be a travesty. The 60gb has near perfect BC.

Fixed - granted that it will play every single game you would actually want to go back and play, but its still not technically 100% - they could always go back and fix any problems through system updates, but they would need more incentive than just one person who is pissed that he can't play that game. If it's a popular enough game, I'm sure Sony take a little bit of time to work with the devs and fix any problems with backwards compatibility.

So you couldn't just give it back to them after the warranty and get the money either?

My only problem right now is sometimes my PS2 games will not play. I was playing MLB 07 The Show for PS2 on the PS3 and stopped to eat dinner. When I came back it didn't read the disk. My PS3 games worked though.:?
