PS3 - Continuous Play Cover

CliffyBiro · 27 Apr 2009 at 14:56

Lo.

My 2nd PS3 which was a refurbishment kindly sent out to me by Sony after a simple issue concerning fans ramping up in speed very early has become corrupted. The firmware seems to be ****** and will occasionally not read any discs.

Due to this, I, like many others, took out Continuous Play insurance after it became clear it was on it's way out.

Today, I gave them a call and explained the situation and will no fuss, a refurbed 60GB that looks and plays as new will be delievered to my door no later than Wednesday.

Now THAT is service. All for just £5.

yep, now you only have to install all your games and download/update everything all again.

Sony customer services sent me 2 replacement PS3's in 10days.

I used to have a 40GB PS3, but wanted backwards compatibility.

I managed to get a 60GB launch day model from the MM.

First thing I did was take out Continuous Play, I had heard good things about it, and it's also the only way to get a like-for-like i.e BC model for BC model.

Preferable to losing a pretty ruddy expensive console.

Glad it's still firing on all cylinders mate, the 80GB one I got to replace it is all well and good, but it lacks the chrome.
I miss the chrome

It's going well.

I got it for the PS2 compatibility, I don't care what it looks like to be honest!
