Sorry to hear that. :/

You've got a warranty right?

inertk

Just the standard 1 year warranty on the console. I may be able to return it to Meijer though. I'm not sure on their return policy, hopefully they'll let me do it. The tech support guy said it would be better if I did that because when they send out consoles, they're refurb'd.

You see that fan?

Haha, I was going to get this http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=802570 , but I heard the cooling system inside was a sight to behold.

What with Lemmings? Wheres the reciept you offered, put your money where your mouth is. Were callin you out.

It was a joking bluff, get over it. I already posted my PSN. There's no way I can prove it when I don't have access to a scanner/ digital camera / camera phone

I sent you a message. what does it say?

How is he supposed to check that when his PS3 isn't working?

Its good for about 30 seconds now, and then it freezes in the menu. I have to let it cool down to get it that high even.

It says lair, and I sent you a message back "i told u". I have to be brief on it because it freezes in the menu and I have to boot it up like 3 times to get it going now.

[QUOTE="Kojak8888"]PSN ID: Kajak - do you want me to show you the damn receipt ? lol... I have nothing against the PS3, just wanted to know if this is a big problem like the 3RoD.da1on2

I'm not giving you my UPC code. If you don't believe me, that's fine - I have nothing to prove to you. I can tell you where I got it from though and how much. Meijer - July 23rd, Monday - If you used your Meijer credit card there that day, you got 20% off, and on your first purchase with the card you get an additional 10% off so it only costed me $360+ tax. I got Resistance right after I purchased it and missed out on the extra 10%, but I sitll got the 20% on it. The game and the system for $429 w/ tax.

[QUOTE="TyrantDragon55"]What's with the sony fans getting all defensive? Just because the PS3 has a pretty low failure rate doesn't mean it never happens.Soulja_West

He said the tech said it happens all the time which is false.

I tried to edit my OP and it's not letting me. I re-read it after I posted it, but what I meant to say is he said its a common thing that he sees, mainly because he's in tech support.

[QUOTE="_AsasN_"][QUOTE="Kojak8888"]So my brand new Playstation 3 just decided to spaz out on me and overheat. Just freezes after about 20 seconds of it being on. The guy on tech support said it happens a lot. Once I told him it starts blinking red after it freezes, he knew what it was :O. Anyone else have this problem?DarkRider23

I smell fanboy! Learn how to read. He never said that the tech guy said it happens a lot. He said "He knew what it was." What is it with fanboys and pulling things out of their asses?

Actually I did say that because he said it's a common problem. Just gotta replace it. It's probably not a huge problem, but I'm sure they see it a lot in tech support.
