Sonys biggest downfall for me right now...

149.99$ to reapir my ps3 cool? what a crock of sh*t had the system since day 1 where i bought it for 600$ at least they could do is reapir the fu*cker for free..

they cost more then 250-300 my friend still in the 300s-400s plus its bs that this problem isnt event he consumers fault yet they still charge them.

No where near as bad as other consoles :D.

Try $500 console lasted 4 months and waited 6 weeks to recieve a beat down refurb. $150 for a repair is really not a big deal because I'm assuming you've had the console for a while.

Most companies wont offer anything after the warranty is up

Plus its 150 for a brand new 1, not to fix it

$150 repair is not bad at all.emitsu97

Nintendo charges 90 bucks for an out of warranty wii. Does anyone know how much ms charges for an out of warranty 360?

[QUOTE="emitsu97"]$150 repair is not bad at all.Sepewrath

Amazing how everyone wants everything for free all the time...I think $150 to get a new PS3 is a very reasonable considering you're going to get a 60 GB model back in return. You can't even buy these models anymore...I called and asked Sony about this too.

you know, i got the ipod touch when it first came out forever ago & mine's still alive and fully operational. hope yours has a long life too!

[QUOTE="RotaryRX7"]All electronics have a percentage of failures and DOA's. This is one reason why warranties exist. If companies repaired everything for free, they would all go bankrupt. The warranty is limited, and when it passes that limit, there's no freebies. In some cases it does suck, but really...what do you expect companies to do? Make flexible warranties that say "When you have a failure that's not your fault, we'll fix it, even if it's 30 years after the product was purchased!" They have to draw the line somewhere....emitsu97

It is quite expensive, but I have a 60gb model so I'd be willing to pay the 150 dollar fee to get it back. Rather not buy another PS2 if I don't have to.

just be nice to the sony reps, my console died 4 months outside its warranty and sony shipped out a replacement and took my broken console free of charge.

Everyone thinks it is a rip because M$ fixes for free but they legally had to due to lemon laws of the U.S.. With a falure rate that high people could have started demand full refunds and they would have to legally do so.wooooode

I have an MGS 80GB PS3 and it works great. Of course, that's after the disc drive died on me in the first week!

the ps3 failure rate is VERY HIGH i would think. VERYBow-T_88

I got mine day one as well. $150 is a bit much, but at least you didn't have to buy a new one.

refurbished one

same with microsoft it's only with the rrod they fix free rahul_rul210

that's not quite right. i remember hearing that they are also warranting an Error message that shuts the system down similar to the RROD. i tried looking this up, but found nothing.

No they don't. They send you a refurbished one.

these days your lucky to find a piece of technology that will last longer then 3 years. how long have you had your PS3? 2 or 3 years? I think your lucky that it was just $150 realistically.

Nothing wrong with PSN. It works great.

It's unfortunate that the OP's system failed but just like any electronic - buy the warranty. Nothing last forever, unfortunately. ;)

Now they cost about 250 - 300 $, soooo....HarshGamer

Pricing in general is Sony's problem. The repair price and PS3 price.
