I just recieved my Playstation 3 back on Friday after experiencing the infamous Yellow Light (Had my PS3 since around Launch so I had to pay $150)....I asked for my Hard Drive back...they said they would send me it...but NO HARD DRIVE. They said I would get a new 60 gig Playstation 3, but ended up becoming a refurbished one. That day when I got it back, I decided to play some Resistance 2. After noticing some loud disc noises...I was playing online..and it froze......Then I updated Call of Duty: World at War and decided to quit and play something else. I clicked eject...but IT WOULDN'T EJECT!!!!!! It started blinking blue..so I decided to go ahead and reset it by holding down the reset button for a few seconds...heard the beeps..waited..started blinking not only blue, but not green! It wouldn't RESTART!. Finally I had to turn it off from the back and turn it back on...it worked. After contacting customer services via email..this is what I got....

Hello Matt,

We apologize for any inconvenience that you have experienced with your PLAYSTATION(R)3 computer entertainment system freezing, not ejecting your game and making noises. It seems that your PLAYSTATION(R)3 computer entertainment system needs to come back in for service and I would suggest that you call in and speak with an agent over the phone. Please call our Consumer Services Department at (800) 345-7669. Our representatives are available to assist you Monday through Saturday 6:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m., and Sunday 7:00 a.m. - 6:30 p.m., Pacific Standard Time.

..now I have to potentially send it in again..and wait....(I am waiting for inFamous......) I am totally disatisfied and pissed off. I invested $680 on this thing...plus $150 for "maintinence" which actually made the case worse. If I file a complaint..will I finally get Sony to give me an extended warranty and perhaps a Dualshock 3 for my troubles? I heard someone wrote a letter to Sony personally complaining that he spend a lot of money and expected a durable system..but for him it was no good. What do you guys think?
