What will Sony do with my YLOD 60GB launch PS3?

I am sending in my beloved launch 60GB PS3 to Sony for repair or refurbishment (?real word?).

Can someone with similar experience tell me what Sony is going to do with my console? Are they going to repair it or are they going to replace it with another 60GB refurbedPS3?

I know they are not going to send me a slim, since one of the options they give you is to pay $119 to trade my old 60GB for a refurbished slim unit or pay $149 for the repair/refurb service.

Of course I balked at this suggestion and decided to keep my 60GB console since(have it fixed) since it is fully BC and getting more and more rare.

So, will they fix it or just send me a refurb console?

Just keep your hard drive and send it in and let Sony worry about it. When they send you a new one, just pop in your hard drive and you'll still have your save data.

Wouldn't taking out the hd void the warranty? Would they still fix it or send another one?
