so i finally got round to sorting this all out and end result is: HMV have agreed to pay for my repair after showing them an engineers report which shows the fault in the ps3 is an inherent one (YLOD). Also after complaining to sony as well they have extended my refurbed ps3 warranty from 3 months to 12 months.
they will be sending my a cheque for all costs involved with the report and the repair, so i think i got a pretty good result in the end
Nice one
