so, long story short; i got the yellow light today. i'm waiting for mom to get home so i can find the receipt. i have a couple of questions that i would be so grateful if they were to be answered. 1. if you sent in your playstion3 before how long did it take to get back? 2. did they send you a new one or a refurb? 3. if they sent you a refurb did it work like new? were the fans loud? 4. if you also had an xbox and had to send it in for repair, how's the ps3 customer service compared to xbox? thanks so much please help me out

the yellow light on the ps3 is basically the red ring of death on 360...you know what that is, right?
