I have a 60GB PS3, and am about to ship it off due to the "blinking red light of death." I turn it on and then it turns right back off. I removed my hard drive and with the hard drive removed, it still does the same exact thing. I have not spoken to Sony, I did everything online and the shipping box is supposed to be here tomorrow.

Since I am unable to get the PS3 to stay on, not only can I not get out my copy of Resistance 2, but I also could not back up anything before it crashed, so should I call Sony and ask them about the hard drive situation, or should I just send back the whole thing?

This is my first time sending it back. I purchased this unit right around Christmas time at the original launch. I would hate to lose all my save data.
