  • Back up your data every week or so. Saves you from the loss of data if your system died.
  • You wouldn't lose trophies because they are tied to your PSN ID.

As for me, I would do the reasonable thing and call Sony to get it repaired.

It has happened and i do not have the money for repairs. So I have just been playing a lot of last gen games on XBOX and PS2. I plan on getting it fixed as soon as I have the money. If its not by the time god of war III comes out then i probably will cry.

Yeah, I've been playing last gen's games also in my PS2, I've been playing tekken 5 and God of war II in hard mode to be ready for GOWIII, And also all is fine with my ps3 except the part of reading bluray, DVD's .. etc . I think that the lens have to be changed with a new one. Im unlucky that here they don't have replacement so I have to buy it from Ebay :( and wait until it arrive.

Can you back up your saved data on a USB thumb drive? I've got a 8GB thumb drive and I started to move everything off of it, so I could back up my saves, but I'm not even sure if you can use one of those to do that...

My mates PS3 broke and he phoned this repair place and they did it for free with no insurance. I'd be very annoyed but I took out a 3 year insurance plan on my PS3 so wouldn't be too bad.

trophies would not be lost, they are linked to your PSN account, unless you havnt been connected to the internet for awhile.

If i didnt have the warranty still and playstation would charge me to replace it i would just buy a brand new one with an extended warranty and sell the broken one on ebay.
