Thank you for all your replys guys - even if you were being a douche about it!

Well i don't have a problem, but after reading this i did - Post by MichaelJ.

Many people have had their Playstation 3 repaired free-out-of-warranty, and this is after the £145 repair deal came into contact.. It just feels disgusting to get shafted by Sony after 16 years of licking their sphinters.

Oh and my bad, i forgot to mention - i pre-ordered off Play.com in March but recieved my Playstation 3 in April 2007, i did actually pay £500 for it, this included a Blu-ray movie and 2 Games.

But what am i to do? They're obviously only giving you 3 month warranty for a refurbished PS3 because they know that there's a slightly higher chance of it failing, and i never knew about Continous Play till recently, Christ... i don't know - i just feel betrayed man.

Hey guys, my PS3 was laid to rest yesterday whilst i was playing GTAIV. The Yellow Light of Death or what ever it is, silly name.

I rang Sony and at the end of the call i was pretty upset, so here is my letter to Sony:

I am writing to you for a replacement of my 60GB Playstation 3 which has had a hardware failure. I have been put on hold numerous times and when i finally get through to technical support i am told that my Playstation 3 will cost a further £145 to be replaced.

I am extremely furious about this, i have paid £500 for my product. I bought this pre ordered from Play.com in April 2007. It has been nearly 2 years since i purchased my Playstation, paying for a machine that cost half a thousand pound that lasted me only 2 years is pathetic; and i am now being asked to pay a further £145 for a replacement, which only comes with a 3 month warranty.

I went out on a limb to buy this out of respect for Sony, i was considering a Xbox 360 at first but i stuck to what i thought would be a quality assured product and stayed loyal to Sony, as i have done for the past 16 years. My original Playstation which i purchased back in 1997 still works perfectly, i thought the Playstation 3 was a state of the art machine, so what happened? As a loyal customer i have been over-looked.

Baring in mind i have been told i will not get back the content stored on my Hard Disk Drive; the games i have purchased over the past 2 years have become completely useless as i will not get my save data back. I also have a game(GTA4) stuck in my PS3- and Sonyhavent clarified what will happen to it.

I have treated my Playstation 3 with top priority, it has been kept clean, dust-free, in an open environment and has only been played around 16 hours a week.I am extremely displeased in what I have been advised. I can ship my PS3 to your company where it can be assessed and possibly fixed. After payment ofall the shipping fees, the assesment fee, and other fees, I will be shipped my repaired PS3 or a refurbished PS3 with only a 90 day warranty. The cost of this is close enough to the price of just buying a new one. This is unsatisfactory. A £500 machine should last longer than25 months. There was no option to even purchase an extended warranty that I was aware of at time of purchase either. The purpose of this letter is to express my lack of satisfaction with your products and its services. I do not have any interest in purchasing a replacement of this product or paying repair bills that are almost equivalent to that price.

[QUOTE="kingtito"][QUOTE="inertk"] Why? Santa Monica were basically wizards with the PS2's hardware. And as he said, with Insomniac and Naughty Dog providing support it's not so far-fetched.inertk

I don't get you saying how many big games have done that though, put it this way. How many big games were released 3-4 years after each consoles respective launch, backed financially by either Sony or Microsoft to the extent GoW3 will be AND supported by 3 of the best studios when it comes to technical achievement? It was evident ONE game would eventually hit this benchmark and I think the conditions for this one warrant some optimism.

kingtito: No - because Warhawk runs native 1080p without Loading - and God of War II ran in 720p HD in the NTSC region without loading, and i have yet to see a game do that on the PS2 beside Gran Turismo. - So yeah, i believe fully in SCE Santa Monica, Insomniac and Naughty Dog. I also rely on ND to eliminate all load times just as they did with Uncharted. And im sure no one would run the risk of hyping a game, especially God of War, to such limits. Oh and one more thing, weren't all God of War's 60fps? It's not hard, i mean its not as if its got millions of moving objects on screen. But fair enough, God of War III has pushed about 50 enemies on screen so i would like to see how they do it! :)

killzowned24: Oh yeah i just remembered MLB09! Theres something for you.

inertk: Exactly, 3 of some of the best companies around at the moment. I think something really special can come out of this game!
