Well had it since start of feb and the drives gone and stopped working :(

just rang up sony and there going to replace it for friday , typical got a week off for some serious gaming and this happens.

Bought it from *** , what do you reckon the chances are of them swapping it straight away ??

I would say a 300 quid console should last longer then 5 weeks reckon they should by rights swap it no questions will have to see , whats the opinions of anyone else ?
 
just got new one , thumbs up to a well known music store. New controller as well which is just as well since mine has never been the same since it was introduced to my wall :p

Still faultless after care by sony to be honest

What precisely has Sony got to do with your console being swapped by the retailer?

Had it been an Xbox 360 it would have been swapped as well.

Well I assumed if HMV take it back no questions then sony must be fairly lenient with there returns service to the retailers :confused:

Or am I giving sony to much credit :p

You download them again. Anything you have downloaded already won't appear on the main PSN store, but will be in "Download "List" (?) in the top right corner.

Each piece of content can be downloaded by 5 unique PS3s. Unfortunately, I assuming you did not "deactivate" you broken PS3 you have "wasted" one of these already.

I know it is an unknown concept to a lot of people on these forums, but when divaboy said 4 have died in his "office" he means his place of work. (You know that place where some us go to when not masterbating over our ps3 and/or 360s?).

So he knows 4 people in his office who have had a ps3 die on them.

You are dreaming if you think he personally has had 4 broken ps3s himself. I mean what kind of person sticks by a machine/brand that has broken on them 4 times?

"In your face"

p.s. I am gonna look really stupid if the guy has had 4 broken ps3's

Safe to say your not looking stupid yes 4 borked PS3's in my office all wth the same fault:eek:

Like I said earlier or in another thread I forget , I'm no fanboy i've own both consoles , but I did think sony and *** went way beyond the call of duty when I rang them etc to get it replaced.

think about a TV or pc part , turn around can be days if not weeks , my total down time was 2 hours :D

I havent had a broken xbox 360 .... yet so I can't comment.

Either big thumbs up to *** and sony :)

Ah, you confused me by basically saying "are the all dying from heat" and "my small office" in the same sentence. I put 2 and 2 together and got 5 :p.

Like I said above, and despite the rubbish that poster above said, Sony consoles generally fail on drive failures. I've had 3 PS's fail, 1 PS2 and 1 PS3 all fail on drive failures. I know a lot of other people have had the same in regards to past consoles.

nothing to worry about, consoles are easy to get replaced.

My bad maybe then, does heat have an effect on the failure rate with the drives??.

Slightly side tracking PS1 or was it PS2's but can you remember haven't to out the console upside down or on its side to get the drive to read the disk . Or was that just modified ones..... anyways murky water and all that ;)

ps1. My ps2 was OK but when my ps1 stopped reading games I called Sony, and they actually advised turning it upside down. I thought they were pulling my leg till it actually worked!!!
