Obviously SCEA wouldn't touch it, and I wasn't trying to pay $150 to get it repaired with just a 30 extended warranty anyway, as I've heard of many repaired PS3s dying again shortly after being revived. Luckily some people still really want 60GB JP PS3s, so I was able to sell my broken system for $400 (and yes, I let them know it was broken) and used that to buy the LE Gunmetal MGS4 PS3. Hopefully that never gives me any trouble because I have no interest in the hideous slim, and Sony really needs to lower their repair fee and extended the not so extended warranty.

stargates UPSF Captain Registered: 04/21/08 Posts: 1370 Loc: Ct	Originally Posted By: Stefanie Not being able to get my PS3 running, I finally bought a new one (slim 120Gb model). I don't know how many of my game save files will be transferable, but I'll find out over the course of this week. Of course, Demon's Souls (the best PS3 game) is copy-protected, so I had to start over. I'm one bronze trophy away from Platinum. As for the slim PS3, I don't like it. Yes, it's much smaller, but it's a castrated version of the original, and it doesn't have the pretty finish. Also, while the fan makes less noise that the original console, the disc drive is much louder when loading. I just hope this is the last PS3 I'll have to buy. Have you ever thought of getting a refurbished PS3? I know that places like gamestop and others do that with the consoles that come in from users that don't want (or use or whatever) them. The local store here has the refurbished 360 for under $200. So i thought i'd ask and see if you had at least condiderd that as an option. _________________________ "There's no cure for idiots." - Natsumi Tsujimoto

I'm sure you can get some value for less money, but I'd rather pay more for something brand new (assuming it works). I know that I can't get a "real" PS3 (Emotion Engine, etc.) new anymore, but a used one simply doesn't appeal to me.

Umm, can you point me in their direction? For $400.00, I'd consider letting go of my precious doorstop.

Stefanie UPSF Captain Registered: 06/17/08 Posts: 1474 Loc: Nashville, TN USA	Oh, it has to be a Japanese model? No, mine is American, although it's an original launch model. I don't necessarily want to part with it, but for $400.00, I'd make an exception. Oh, well.

JuggaSiC UPSF Lieutenant Junior Grade Registered: 09/23/09 Posts: 60 Loc: DE, USA	Gamestop does their own refurbishing, which is partly why I personally steer clear of their used/refurbished systems. I don't recall one good outcome every time I've tried with something that wasn't brand new. Edited by JuggaSiC (11/11/09 12:03 PM)
