For some reason the internal fan in my PS3 is spinning extremely fast, what could be the problem, i have already sent in my PS3 once for repair, i really dont wanna do it again.

Hello thanks for coming to answer my question. My questions are:
1. Do you need a hard drive to play your playstation 3?
2. Do you need the caddy thing? if so where can you buy one?
3. If i have a 60 gb console, and i upgrade it to a higher gb, will it still be the most backwards campatible? They say the 60 gb console is the most backwards compatible with ps1 and 2 games.
4. If i send in my ps3 for repairs will i need to send it in with the harddrive?

All answers are very appreciated THANKS!!!!

The Blu-ray player in my PS3 stopped working, so I had to send it in for repairs. I sent it in to Sony, and they sent me a box to ship it to them and everything. Now, I got an e-mail from them saying they shipped it back to me, only they said "an exchanged PS3." So, I had all the memory on my PS3 (like game saves and downloaded games and music). Is there any chance that Sony would have put my memory onto the exchanged PS3, or am i screwed?
Thanks in advance.

i’m just wondering if the playstation 3 breaks down more than the xbox 360. and if it does, are the repairs free if under warranty? how much does it cost to get an extended warranty?

the reason i ask is because my xbox 360 has broken down many times and i’m sick of sending it in for repairs, so i’m considering getting a playstation 3.

Powers supply’s probably dead, I’m not sure, and I’m hoping to get some money off it to get the Ps3 Slim. Don’t want to try repairing it myself or sending it to Sony since I don’t know 100% what the problem is.
hmmmm…still not sure what to do, if i send it to sony, is it guaranteed to be fixed? And selling it for 0-500 doesn’t seem so bad.

I bought NHL 3on3 Arcade from the Playstation Store, and had to send in my Playstation 3 to Sony to have it repaired, but when i got it back, the game was gone, is there any way I can get it back?

I am having problems with my PS3. When I turn it on, all I get is the background screen no dashboard. All cords are plugged correctly. It was just working two days ago. Is anyone having the same problem?
