Help i need to hear your opinions on this.

Early this month i called Sony cause i was with a doubt, the doubt was that each time when i when i load a game the PS3 logo appear and then i received a no signal screen for some seconds. They man that talk to me on the telephone said that it could be a problem with the HDMI port or something he mentioned that transmit the HD signal, he recommended me to send the unit so they could check the problem, i didn't told them but i was having problems with the touch panel, very frequently the disk didn't eject and i had to try a lot of time for it to work the same with the power button, When i received the returned system i notice that it was a replacement with only three months of warranty and it still does the same no signal message and i found that this is normal, now the touch panel work fine but the first three days it did strange thinks the first day it got froze using the browser the second day after selecting quit the system froze and the restart itself, the third day after loading WWE M VS R the screen stayed froze and black then playing Soul Calibur IV online the system froze and i had to turn it of to make it work, now it's working perfectly.

My system is a 40GB and i'm thinking of selling it in GameStop for like 200 and buy a new one wich now include 80GB of Hardrive space and a dualshock. What do you think?

Do you think i should sell it and buy a new one?soulreaper-4

What i mean is if this change will be the best choice.

dude everything you said was pretty confusing, especially after you said everything works fine now...

If you think it's more trouble then good, flip the switch and pick yourself up a new one; if your willing to cough up another 4 bones... or 200 should I say.

Why it sounds confusing, what i mean is that this unit i'd received got froze like three times and since the one i sent to Sony didn't got froze even once for almost a year i i was thinking if it will be a good choice to sell it in GameStop for 200 dollars and pay the difference to buy a new one with one year of warranty, dualshock 3 controller and 80GB of Hard drive. What worry me is that this replacement get broke in less than a year and i end without warranty.

"since the one i sent to Sony didn't got froze even once for almost a year i i was thinking if it will be a good choice to sell"

Im still confused, but if you think your going to continue to have problems, then go for it. The new once don't have B/C so just remember to keep that in mind, or you could just purchase the MGS Bundle if you could find one; which would be your best bet.

I really don't understand why you are confused.

It's cool bro don't worry about it. If your planning on purchasing a new one, then try and grab yourself the MGS Bundle if anything. Good Luck

more space, and if u havent noticed, sony is slowly, but surely, fading out of the ps2. BC isnt that big of a deal, i mean. when u bought a ps3, u didnt throw away your old ps2 did u? i still use my ps2 for ps1 and ps2 games. and what they r only $100, so u could buy a new slim ps2 if u really wanted to play older games. none the less, u get a ps3 for ps3 games. so yeah, it would prolly be best. if u dont have mgs4, get the mgs4 bundle pack if u can still find it.

If you feel that this system is going to give you problems down the line and you would feel better having a brand new PS3 then yes trade it in and buy a new one.

If you want to trade in your replacement PS3 because you rather have the new 80 GB SKU and DS3 then yes trade it in and buy a new one.

Since you will be getting $200 for you old PS3 and the DS3 cost $50, you will only be paying an extra $150 for peace of mind since your current PS3 keeps freezing on you. So if you are ok with paying for peace of mind then yes trade it in and buy a new one because I probably would.

dude i hate to break it to u but ur not gona get 200$ for a referb ps3lions_rock_2008

I asked an employee at my local GameStop and it said the trade-in value of the 40gb PS3 is 200.

kinda simple. call them up and tell them the replacment unit is having problems. send that one back and get another.Wild_Card

This is my problem, i don't like to be changing my console and if i send it back to Sony i will have to pack everything again and wait like almost two weeks and i may end getting a worst console, or with lot of scratches and then i will have to send it again.

well now i feel like an a-hole since i totally missed the "now it runs perfectly":?. but if it didnt work there would be a referb fee :D

you shouldn't have changed your first, one it was because of the TV : I had a Techwood as first HD TV and each time I sarted a game it would give me a blank grey screen for about a second before showing the game, I bought a Samsung and no blank screen, I think it was trying to change the resolution to see what's best.TheTenth10

I'm using mine on a Sony Bravia.

Sorry to hear you have issues. My PS3 has always worked great for me, even during long 6 hour gaming runs. If you are having issues, make sure you don't return this to some other poor gamer who will eventually get your old system. :-)

I have the 40GB model and will be buying me a 350GB Hard Disk to put into it or larger if they have them available yet.
