Okay so I'm going to send in my ps3 for repair on Monday because it got theYLOD last Tuesday. I have a question for those of you who got back your repaired/refurbished ps3 from Sony. Did you ever encounter a problem or even the YLOD again from your repaired/refurbished unit that they sent you back? If you did, how long after the repair did it occur? I know it comes with a 90-day warranty so I'm scared something might happen after those 90 days. Are most of the refurbished systems you guys got back working fine? Tell me how long your refurbished unit has been working without any problems or YLOD. It's just that I will be pissed off ifI get the YLOD again after the 90 day warranty expires, then I gotta pay those bastards another $150.

My Bluray drive was broken 1 month after I got the refurbished one, no problem since they fixed it.

Out of curiosity, when they send a refurb, it'll be of the same model you once owned right? I'm going to feel cheated if mine dies on me, and they send me a refurb that doesn't sport functionality my current one has. (card-reader slots, 4x USB2.0, and backwards compatibility)

Ive had my new/refurbished for 3-4 months now. Seeems Fine. On a side not... This Ps3 was my first system to ever fail on me. My Coleco Vision and Atari, Nes, Super Nes all work fine.

My Ps2 almost broke, I got it on release and it stopped reading disks. I got a disk cleaner and it came back

Sweet. Thanks guys I hope I don't get problems with my new PS3 either, I'll take good care of it this time. Genexi2, I'm pretty sure they'll send you back the same kind of PS3 you had when you shipped it to them because I was reading a topic at the US Playstation forums and some one confirmed that.

How does the payment work? I'm a bit confused on that part, and I hope when I send mine in the one I get is the exact same but doesn't get YLOD because the new Ps3's suck, less USB slots which I use, no SD parts which I use and they don't have BC.
