Yesterday after arriving from college my Bro and Mom told me a lighting strike hit outside near my room and the Internet modem got fried. I didn't care cause it can be exchange fo a new one since it is property of my cable company, but the worst wast silently coming. It was at night, i was tired and somewhat stressout from going here and there in college and everything i did during the day. So what better way to have a relax time than taking a bath and play some games.
Sadly the only thing i received was a bad night. The menu bar of the PS3 was not showing right, all my save files were deled except for Final Fantasy VII, and if i press X to watch one of my Anime videos the didn't work and show me a corrupted message. So i used the safe mode to restore the Hard-drive only end receiving this screen:
It tells me the system settings configurations are damged and press x to restore then. Even choosing to restore them they do nothing. I called Sony and the representative told me something is wrong with the system and i can pay $100 dollars to service the unit. The bad part of this is that they reserve the rights to repair the system if they want or instead give me a used repair unit. This repair or exchange is not made by Sony.
The biggest problem:
This is not mined, but i ordered the Premium Edition of Disgaea 4 from NISamerica. It will arrived this Thuesday or Wednesday. Now i will have no system to play it on. If i go with the service option I will have to wait like a week for the box, some days for it to arrive there and 7 to 10 days for my system or a replacement to arrived. In fact i will have to wait almot the month or an entire month. If i get a new one i will need to pay $249.99 for my fourth PS3.
My first PS3 a lighting storm damaged the unit, the second one power botton not working right after lighting problems and now the third one fried after a lighting hit near my room. This is madness! I hate you lighting strikes!
Now the kind of funny part was that this happens the week I've been playing Infamous; a game were you control a hero with electrict powers. I was going to play the game berore finding out the PS3 was fried. What a coincedence
