Well after 3 years of great games and great times my launch 60gig bit the dust. Sadly I couldn't back up my hard drive because the system would no longer boot up, so I lost all my saves and essentially all those hours of gaming. I called Sony and am now in the process of getting a new slim for $150 since my 60gig was well out of warranty. It was a pretty rough experience packing up my old friend in the box to send it in, but I'm gonna stay positive and look at this as a chance to go back and play all the great games I haven't played in a while, but its a shame I won't be able to play all those good old ps2 games anymore.

Goodbye old friend, it was a great run
