I think when you fill out the form it asks you if there is a disc inside and what disk. So you should be able to get it back.

[color=green]Seems like a ton of ps3 have died lately. Apparently, the 60 gig version. I have the 80 gig version so I don't know what to make of that.[/color]

If they are taking the old one away and bringing you a new one......then i would get a prong or a tweezer and get that disk out Nao!

i heard a lot about 60g's dying, it's because sony doesent want you to use bc so they set a curse on the older model. seems logical.

I'd like to, but my only experience with this has been with my friend whos PS3 died with GTA IV inside.  He received a refurb. PS3 (which didn't work) and no GTA IV disc.

He now has to send the clearly not refurbished PS3 in (don't they even test what they send out!?), wait for another, and contact Sony to find out about the disc he already told them about when he ordered his coffin.

Better luck to you, TC.

Fill out the form and there will be a secton asking if there is any discs stuck inside the machine, circle yes and write down what game is in it. They'll send it back with your machine.

Yep, a big problem with the new 80 gig models: they are not backwards compatible. The MGS 80 gig bundle *IS* backwards compatible though. It is confusing. My brother bought an 80 gig model after he saw mine was ps2-compliant only to find that his was not! Kidding aside, the PS3 hardware itself is fine. I would lean towards how the owner of a particular system treats it as directly correlating to its longevity. Obviously this is not going to be a hard and fast rule though.

Did he write on the paper they send you that GTA was in their. Because it asks if anything is inside and you circle yes or no and then it acks what is inside.

No you are wrong sorry. They send you a pre-paid box when your system breaks to put your playstation in and in it is a form you fill out which one of questions asks if anything is inside. Then the next question asks if yes what is inside. If you say no and something is inside it says they are not responsible for that and if you call them they can't do anything about it.

Yup, he sure did.

Well I would raise hell and demand a free one if he has a copy of the form he filled out or if they still have the form and see that it says it contains GTA then they owe him a new. Also about the playstation complain and you will get it fixed for free then complain you want something else for the bull. You will probably get something out of it.

I am waiting on my PS3 to get back. I was going to get it friday-I thought-but UPS said they are closed the next 3 days after thanksgiving so I have to wait until monday. I hope its not broke and it is fixed

Oh yeah, he's going after them.

He has plenty of experience dealing with customer service because, well, let's just say he's a multi-system owner.;)

Good luck with your next one.

Didn't mean to spook you, cooldust, I just wanted to be honest about my friend's issues.

On a positive note, I'm sure that's a very rare occurrence, and your case with them ought to go much smoother.:D
