Either way, this is the number 1-800-345-7669 The supervisor I spoke to was "rich" and he wouldn't give his last name, his ID number is 8364. If anyone calls thank you, I'm posting this on the other site too and have had people already complain about this. I'm begging people to call and complain because when this happens to you I would call. Sony shouldn't be getting away with this it's ridiculous.Ishot2PAC

Hey emitsu, when a supervisor won't give you their last name. Something is a tad fishy IMO

[QUOTE="KapG"]From what I have read, the YLOD arrises because of overheating issues. Of course SONY is not going to come out with an official statement. If they did that than they would SURELY be forced to pay for all of the repairs.

Another thing, there has already been one thread started by a member of these boards with regards to the YLOD and Sony. He talked to a manager, explained the situation and ended up getting his fixed for free. Now, why would Sony go ahead and fix it for free (after being threatened to be reported to the BBB) if it was not adesign problem?

[QUOTE="Ishot2PAC"]x box extended their warranty and aren't making the customer foot the bill.emitsu97

yet you want to bust my bawls for saying that sony should not be making the customers foot the bill. Are you looking to have a pissing contest on these boards?

[QUOTE="KapG"]The bottom line is that they shouldn't be overheating in the first place. It is a result of faulty design. So the consumer now has to foot that bill because the designers didn't think it all out?emitsu97

Guys, what else can I do? I just filed my better business bureau complaint and posted this info on 2 sites now, where can I go to actually make a difference or am I screwed? I'm not paying 150$ for the problem in their design. Now I have a broken ps3 and a bunch of games...Ishot2PAC

I am not really sure what else you can do. Try talking to sony again, just go straight to a manager this time. I dont know!!

[QUOTE="Ishot2PAC"]Filinf the complaint as we speak with the BBB. They played stupid about the yellow light and said it has nothing to do with anything just the red blinking lights after the "yellow" light is the problem and means it must come in. I spoke to a manajor and he gave me the same crap about me paying 150$ for a refurbished one. He was also a giant prick I called back one minute ago to get the supervisors name but he wouldn't give me his last name. So I know his name is Rich and I ended up asking the right person and gt his ID# which is 8364. So right now I'm doing whatever I can on as many sites as possible.emitsu97

[QUOTE="emitsu97"]I purchased 2 60GB models, one on launch day. Both run perfectly fine.emitsu97

Thats good, lots of people ARE having problems with their models though and sony IS jerking them around, much like Microsoft was with their clients.

Sony needs to foot the bills on these repairs, not the consumer.

I dont have any specific numbers, but judging by the amount of "my ps3 just died" threads we get here a day, I would say the number IS high.

As for the manager saying the blinking light means you have to take it in. what a douche. Of course it means you have to bring it in, BECAUSE THE THING OVER HEATED AND NO LONGER WILL WORK BECAUSE OF FAULTY DESIGN.

awww why did you edit your comment ? You were so right!!!

Parents AREN'T involved in their kids lives at all! They see video game systems, movies and stuff as babysitters for their children

Games are violent. I'm a gamer and a parent but I speak to my kids all the time about the violenece they see and play. I also know what they are playing as I buy there games. Parents just need to be involved imo.

Ladies and Gentlemen, there is your answer right there, compliments of Mcortijo01. Parents now a days are rarely involved with their kids!

Personally, I don't think games are violent enough. I want a man hunt for ps3 type of game.
