So i've sold my dead ps3..

Mobius 1 · 7 Apr 2009 at 16:44

The other day, i got the dreaded laser failure on my ps3... (great) :rolleyes:

so i decided to try and sell it, and luckily enough i had a buyer.

just a quick question, what price should i be looking for, for a 360 with the 60gb HDD? or whats the best price you guys have seen?

Thanks in advance.

Why dont you want to get a replacement PS3?

Robert1986 · 7 Apr 2009 at 17:01

Are you selling it broke? Why not get it fixed then sell it for more?

lol

because sony were being ***holes with me. and would not for the life of them send out a replacement, unless i paid for it. the amount of people on here without receipts who either got it fixed for free, or replaced, i thought i'd have a chance. but they just downright refused. i know it seems a bit ***** trying to get it done for free, but its barely a year old.

You don't need a receipt if its getting fixed by sony. If its only 1 year old, then sony should replace it. Try phoning them again. They can't get away this.

well, my impression was, if it gets fixed, fine, but what if it goes wrong again? i aint forking out another 99 quid to get it fixed.

Edit: i think its about a month out of warranty.

I took out continuous play insurance last week. Giving them a call tomorrow to have mine replaced. No fuss, no muss.

You are going to have a fun time with your 360 then if you hate sending things back for repair.

360 isnt the best move if relability bothers you.

i thought the 360's have got better with their hardware? i sold my original 360 for the ps3 in the first place and i had no problems with it. im not sure how its doing now. i think the guy i sold the ps3 to is just buying a new drive and fitting it.

edit: its not the fact i hate sending things back for repair. i love it

its just im in need of a helping hand and sony just say no way, we arent doing a thing for you under warranty. and to think ive owned all their consoles

i feel let down..

I'd go to a shop and buy an arcade 360 to insure you get a 12.1A 150 watt power supply jasper model it's the latest one and less likely to suffer from RROD.

Unless anyone can confirm a 60gb model being a jasper

You can get an arcade these days for £130 with a decent game.

Then I would buy a 20/60/120 hard drive second hand from a certain computer parts shop they give 12 months warranty on the drives.

All the new 360's are the Jasper chipset, you have to check the psu.

wicked. thanks for the reply. i can easily afford that with the money i got from the ps3 and the games. i might see if members market have any HDD's going, always worth a try.

edit: thanks kdd, so am i best asking to check the psu? and what am i looking for?

I duuno but the laser repair kit is between 50-70 for a DIY kit, so its up to you i would have thought repair it yourself it its out of warranty then sell for more money. That would be the best idea if you want to get rid and get a 360 TBH.

indeed.. now thinking about it that would have been the best idea but i got 99 for it so im happy, its had a year of harsh use

i didnt really have the time to repair it myself unfortunately.. im a new daddy

You are looking at the back hole in the box where you can see 12.1 A on the power sticker anything above that wont be a jasper.

As for all new 360's being Jasper that is not true you can ask to look at 60gb models and you may get one though.

I got mine from that high st shop and the guy even opened it up for me so I could check.

Some people have had them RROD already, on YouTube at the very least.

My Japanese PS3 packed up on Friday last week, was in 2 minds whether or not to buy a new one, but after seeing how easy it is to dismantle I've bought a replacement laser, so fingers crossed, that should fix it.

sorry to bump the thread, but i have just bought a Xbox360 60GB model which i can confirm is a jasper with a 150w psu.

with 3 games, £144 quid.

cheers for the help

EDIT: just thinking, this 360 wont have the new dash will it?
