wtf???

I had the exact same thing happen to me. Getting through to sony took dedication and ingenuity. I kept getting rerouted thru the same automated menus when i called customer care for ps3. Then i started pressing buttons that weren't mentioned in the menus and one of them worked. When the person answered they were shocked i found them. Bastards. Oh well. Moral of the story:

Your ps3 will go in and you will get a different one in return. It will be free or it will be 150 if your out of warranty. Or if your in warranty but  u bought from circuit city your totally f'd.

You could pull the old Switch-A-Roo like i do all the time at BestBuy. Buy a new Ps3, clean ur old one up really well so it looks brand spankin, open the box very carefully so u cant tell that its opened, put your old one in and take the new one out, return the old one and get ur money back.......Sham WOW that was easy :P Thank you come again

just get the ps3 fan that snaps on the back!

yes me too, puertoRICAN, i wouldn't try to fix my PS3, cuz, i'm always doing bad things when i'm fixing this kind of things, idk but i always finishing to destroy. hehehe

i definitely wouldn't try fixing it myself because i would prolly *** up O.O it would suk to pay $150 tho damn

latley my PS3 has been making a very loud fan like noise...it seems to only do it when its very hot in my house...like yesterday in CA it got up to 95 degrees & my PS3 started b****ing...i got so paranoid that i just shut it off & left it alone for a few hours...i dont have a warranty on my PS3....my PS3 is a 60gb (which ive heard are more vulnerable of getting the YLOD)....:( wat should i do? a person at gamestop told me to put a fan in the back of my PS3 & that i should clean it.....but idk how to clean it O.O...i just wanna do as much as possible to prevent my PS3 getting the YLOD!

& Envy i'm sorry about ur PS3 :( i'd ask my dad because he does infact work for Sony but he told me once " if it breaks, it breaks!" soooooo mean huh?? idk i guess he isn't allowed to give out Sony info... waaaaa D:

you got the yellow light blinking and it wouldnt start up, just go back to blinking red?

yup man, i done that, but the contract I signed does not allow me to complain. I told him that was an injustice. The contract stated that I had a month to claim any doubt, but it took 6 months.

my bad.
