So I wake up the other day and decide to play some Drake's Fortune only to find when I try to turn on my PS3 it beeps (like normal) the light turns green (like normal). Then things went a little bit wry. The light turns a orangy yellow for a second (eeek) then it beeps at my three times in quick succession (owwwww) then it turned itself off just leaving the red standby light blinking on and off (AHHHH SHAT!!)

So I was now the proud owner of one bust PS3! luckily I was still under warranty so I phoned up Sony UK and got a very friendly and helpfull guy who sorted me out. At first, as an owner of the backwards compatible 60GB model, I was worried I wasn't going to be able to get the same type of SKU back. But Mr.Sony told me that I would get a like for like replacement. (YAY!) So now my next worry. What about my HDD data. I couldn't turn on the console so there was no way I could do a data transfer and the guy on the phone told me I needed to send my console with the HDD still installed. I thought I could go to my friends hous and switch HDDs in his PS3 then do a data transfer but he wasn't too hot the idea not wanting me to break anything and resulting in us needing to get two replacement Playstations!

So there was nothing left to do but to lose all my save data! Some losses hurt more than others, GTA (oh no), GT5(bugger) Oblivion(AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!)

So within 3 days I had my new PS3 and was downloading all my bought content again and getting everything all sorted. It was all sorted out very quickly and very well(apart from loss of data but what can you do)

(I am legally required to write that the next paragraph has no truth in it whatsoever Sony so don't come and beat me up. It is only a joke...)

So how did it break? I got horrendously drunk and came home and pissed all over my ps3...Remember kids drinking is bad! Also remember that bits only a joke sony;)
