How much will it cost to repair...professionally? :) if its quite a bit less than buying a slim then its a no brainer imo

Well if you still have warrenty I say send it in, if not I say get the Slim... I too am having problems with my 60g, but I am selling it to my friend for his 80 g and he is gonna get the slim

Well my unit is out of warranty. I've had it since march 07. Sony wants 150 for a repair, but I'm afraid if i send it to them, I'll receive some refurbed 80gb model or any other model that isnt my 4usb, backwards compat ps3.

They'll send you a direct replacement, well they do here in the uk. It most probably will be refurbed but it should have all the features your current system does. If you dont require the media slots, 4 usb and backwards compat then buy the slim, but if you do then get it repaired

Hmm.... Honestly, I've only played a ps2 game on my ps3 maybe 3 or 4 times since I've had it. Havent used the memory card readers in ages. But I do end up usin most of the 4 usb ports.. aARRGGGHHH i dunno..

Get a slim, it'll last longer.

Buy a usb hub then... expand the 2 usb's to 5 :)

If you want to spend the extra 150ish...then go for the slim, and sell your 60...someone will buy it

Hmm.. I doubt the PS3 slim will have any overheating problems due to the lower power consumption. Although the only exhaust on the slim is on the back of the unit. More feedback please!! thanks!

It would surprise you... who would buy a broken ipod? there are plenty of ads on ebay with bids... just did an ebay search for "broken ps3" (UK Site)
