Well I put Bioshock in my beloved PS3 last night. Played for an hour or so and bam, she died on me. I have a 60G, and it had the red,green,yellow,steady red light problem, won't even eject the disk. How long does it usually take for them to fix/replace a PS3 in the states?

Hard to believe. I have 3 PS3s and they've performed flawlessly for years with tons and tons of use.

Same here on the $150.00, I have a way of getting around those on the phone, hopefully it will work with Sony. It's always worked with the other two console companies.

The process took me about two weeks, to complete. They ship you the casket box in a few days, then your PS3 casket comes with overnight shipping back to them , then it takes a bit over a week for them to send either yours fixed, or a refurbished unit. I'm on my 3rd 60 gb, so this is a pretty frequest occurence or me. Good Luck evading the 150$ fee. :)

Sorry about what happened. I know how it feels because i was a Yellow light of death victim last november. If you call sony, they'll ship a box ( aka coffin ) to your house, put your system in there, fill out the paper that is included in the box and follow the instructions on how to pack it. You should get it back within 7-14 business days. I got a refurbished system 4 days after i sent mine in. You'll lose all of your saved data and most likely get another system. If you don't have the number its... 1-800-345-Sony ( 7669 )

My buddies only took about 2 - 3 weeks to get his back. the second one was a bit longer about a month. Thats lame to hear, hopefully they drop the price! is it out of warranty or something? PS: all these comments on here, and a thread about a broken PS3, AND NOT ONE XBOX FANBOY TROLLING ABOUT IT?!?! man xbox fanbois must be more repectful, i was just in a 360 RRoD thread and almost half were PS3 fanbois.. Again hope you get your console back fast, peace

Thanks guys. I filled out the online service form. I've gone thru 5 of the "other" console. And have never paid, even though they've asked all but once. I usually ask to speak to the supervisor and explain how many games I have and the fact I'll buy all the rest of my games on another console and they've always waived the fee. Which I've done, I've bought multiplatform games on the PS3 only for about the last 6-8 months, so I have nothing to play for the time being :(.

Why do you have 3 PS3's?!?! :shock:

Many rooms where people in my house play.

I have a 20gb model upgraded to a 500gb HDD, a 40gb model upgraded to a 500gb HDD, and a 60gb model upgraded to a 160gb HDD.
