well ps3 got me deppresed... only got it last month and it kept freezing on me about 2 days ago while playing rainbow six vegas... tryed every game they all froze.. finally called sonys customer service today and talked to them, they said it happens "rarely", luckly my 30 day warrenty on the ps3 didnt expire yet it expires this friday... so the sony rep told me to go down to best buy and to replace it... and so i did, i get there and i bought a warrenty for 2 years thinking this might happen again, and that i dont want to wait 2-4 weeks to send it in to sony and to make them fix it,saves me some time...so im there and they gave me a new ps3... when i got home today i notice there was 2 stickers on the folding part of the ps3 where you have to open it... it got me pretty clueless on why theres 2 instead of one, cause when i first bought my first ps3 there was1 sticker not 2, but they said its a brand new one... so i thought it was a brand new one and didnt bother checking it at the store, and then i noticed that my warrenty expires in dec.11/09 and i remember the sony rep telling me that the extended warrenty that you buy will start after the manufacturer warrenty expires and so that got me more deppresed... im to lazy to call best buy tonight so i;ll do it tomorrow... is anyone on there 2nd or 3rd Ps3's? and what do you guys think about the 2 stickers thatwas on the box do you think someone brought it back before and best buy fixed it and resold it or what?? please tell me what you guys think.

You are doubting Best Buy about your console being new because of stickers?

What's wrong with the extended warranty starting after the manufacturer's warranty?

no cause in that case i get 2 extra years... after the manufacturer warrenty which is 1 ifi have any problems what so everi can call sony and send it in... but in this case i can either go to best buy or calll sony which just made me loose money cause i wantedit to start after the manufacturer warrenty ends... and i remember when i called sony that the rep told me thatthe extended warrenty that you buy will start after the manufacturer warrenty ends.. i live in canada i dont know what the deal is in the states

Dude, I don't even know what you're talking about. First, I have had my PS3 since Jan/08 and it never ever hicked up on me whatsoever and believe me I am not so careful with it at all. I haul it around when I travel, which is every week, and the thing is very solid and I never think twice about pushing that start button. Second, you have a warraty on it from Best Buy, so what do you care if it breaks or whatever. they will replace it. To be honest with you, I bought the same warranty on mine, which cost me $100 I believe, but I really regret it because the System is so solid that I think it's just a waste of money having a warranty on it. I don't know how old you are, but if that's whay depresses you in life, then you will not be a very happy person much in the future. Cheer up, you got nothing to worry about, what the heck?

are you sure it was well ventilated? leave at least 40 cms on the right and back (where the hot air goes out) and a lot on top ; forget closed cabinets. Even if you don't hear a problem if it's in a closed space, the heat will stay and it's bad

you bought bestbuy 2 year warranty ? thats the most retarded thing you could have done, let me explain, lets say that your console dies after 2 months, you go in and they give you a new one !! thats it ur 2 year warranty is OVER, you gotta get new warranty, should have bought SONY's warranty, secondly the PS3 hardly freezes so most likely I am suspecting you story here is pure BS.

I've had my PS3 since launch, and it's never given me problems. The game Warhawk froze on me a few times, but other than that everthing works perfectly.

Well I guess it's your own fault that you didn't know about an extended warranty, and you can't expect 100% of consoles to be perfect can you, well I suppose YOU could, but YOU shouldn't.

You're just unlucky, it's nothing to be worried about.

[fanboy]PS3 has a a much lower failure rate compared to the 360 anyway :) [/fanboy]

I've never had a problem with mine. I have had for about a year now and it froze 3-4 times in that period. Mostly during Assassins Creed.
