Screw Sony!

my ps3's blu-ray drive broke today and those criminals want 150 plus shipping and tax to fix the damn problem. i'd just buy a new ps3 and get a freakin warrenty before i pay that much for a repair.

it really pisses me off cause a lot of people have this problem lately and it's dominant in the 40gb models. my drive hasnt even seen that much use, i usually play downloaded games and movies on it and game on my 360. FML

... You're going to get a brand new PS3 for under $200?

I feel your pain though, It's pretty ridiculous since Microsoft & Nintendo will repair broken consoles for free.

I was looking to get a used 80GB BC PS3 in a few weeks from eBay, but I'm still unsure.

How old was it?

[SensesFail]

no what i meant was if im going to pay that much to repair it i'll just fork over the extra 100 bucks and get a brand new one (just as long as its not an ugly ass slim model)

it was about 2 years old. bought it late 2007.

Personally I dont like PS3 or 360, im more of a Wii person haha!

I hade the same issue with my 360. Its Hintsink was fucked so it kept overheating and its warranty was about 9 months gone, so I sold it to gamestop and bought a PS3 for Uncharted 2 and Demons Souls, among other exclusives, and I'ma get a new elite with the only two games I played on it for Xmas.

Ouch! Sorry to hear Senses; luckily, my launch day 60GB PS3 hasn't had any problems... Yet.

60gbs r the shit! wish i could get my hands on one of those for a decent price. i have a feeling since im waiting til after xmas to buy a ps3 im going to be stuck with a 120gb... and i REALLY dont want that, its ****ing ugly. but what r u gonna do? before i buy a new one though, im going to see if i can get my hands on a fair priced blu-ray drive and put it in myself i have some console modding/repairing experience, but its all 360. hopefully youtube can guide me on taking it apart, i can handle it from there tho.

nope it was the 40gb, apparently those are the most defective models.
