Does anyone know the trade-in value for a ylod 60gb ps3? My ps3 has got ylod for 3rd time after being repaired twice and it's time for a slim. I was trying to hold out on my 60gb until my tax return came and then transfer the data over but it looks I will lose the data (unless someone knows a way to get it off the hard-drive with the unit dead.)

just did. They said usually they buy the 60 gb for $150 but with ylod more like $70. It's still something. My plan was to sell it on amazon or something for more but now it's kinda hard to do that with ylod.

Sell it "as is" on Ebay, it being a 60GB version you may be able to get $150 for it. And that's while it's broke. Or try one of the repair services on Ebay..I think they charge like $60 or something, can't really remember the exact price.

I sold a ylod 60Gb on ebay recently and got £65-approx $75 plus postage and the guy was even good enough to post me back my game that was stuck inside.

I already had it fixed twice and ylod seemed pretty inevitable. I was just trying to hold out on my 60gb until I got my tax return so I could get a slim and get the data off it.

I thought that if I took the hard-drive and put it in the new ps3 that it wouldn't recognize it and try to format it.

They do take broken units but you get little to nothing and could actually end up having to pay Gamestop to take it from you. It might not be worth it. They send it off to a Gamestop refurbishing center. So they do take them. I would just get it fixed again and sell it for a profit. Ebay would make you the most money.

Probably. I wonder if the place I took it to the first 2 times will do it again. It's $100 to get it fixed there (only paid that once as 2nd break was within 30 day warranty pd so they repaired it again for free). I mean it has lasted about a month each time it was fixed and that should allow me enough time to get my data and get my tax return to pay for slim, but I know inevitably it will likely die again and I don't want to waste $100 having it fixed only for it to break again before I can buy a slim and get my data and not get money back.

It seems that the repair center just patched your system for a while. It seems that the solder isn't making contact like it should at the joints. They could be doing a half way job of re-flowing the board and also did they replace the thermal paste with Arctic Silver 5 to make sure the heat was transferred like it should be.
