I have a 40 gb ps3 and has been in twice for service. It was in because first it wasn’t reading any games what so ever there was no icon where the game is. Then later it was in because it was freezing during game play. I have this problem again for a third time. I called Sony told them my situation and the guy told me to do a file restore which I did. The guy told that they will replace the whole unit even thought my warrant was out but I have to call back if it freezes. It did freeze again But when I phoned back I did have a problem with the Support worker but I am still getting it replaced. What I am wondering from the google searches i have done are that the replacement Ps3’s are refurbished ones? Are they? Am I likely to have a problem again? Also what would be better, to get it service or to get a replacement? I do not want a problem again and I believe that my Ps3 has something wrong with the whole unit. I’m just wondering from other peoples experiences with there PS3’s and repair places like Sony or MTC. I will be dealing with MTC as I am in Canada.
Also I don’t play alot just when I need something to pass time. And it can’t be from giving it space it has a lot of ventilation space and it cann’t be from a update has I haven’t updated it to the new update that is out.
Also to add I do care of my personal items that cost me money. I have down in my basement where it is nice and cool for it. I DO NOT carry it around. Never has it been dropped or even picked up. It is in PERFECT condition like my laptop, Ipod, ps2, radio, etc. Everything of mine is in perfect condition.

I downloaded this ps3 repair guide and once it was done it started saying that there was an error and that the file was dameged and it didnt work. What can I do to fix this problem?

need some were luton or in the uk

Just curious. I just sent in my PS3 for repair today and I’m wondering when can I expect to see it again. I’ve heard horror stories about it taking up to a year for microsoft to repair people’s XBox 360’s. Any input on this? Thanks!

My PS3 is busted and I would like to know how and where to send it out. Has anyone else done this recently? Were you satisfied with the result?

I was playing my PS3 earlier and the game froze and would not un freeze the PS3 was extremely unresponsive but I managed to get the disc out. The PS3 will now accept discs but will not read or play any, not games or DVDs or anything am I going to have to send it away for repair?
