Trading in YLOD ps3?

Hey peoples, im going to trade in my 40gb YLOD PS3 to EB GAMES for $50 to put towards a new slim 120gb PS3.

Anyway my question is,

if i trade in my YLOD ps3 will they be able to fix it and get my information on my broken ps3? Becuase thereis personal information on my YLOD ps3 such as billing stuff and personal pictures and videos, im scared that if i trade it in someone will be able to fix it and get into all my stuff,

I told them this at EB GAMES and they guranteed that you cant recover any information once you get YLOD..so is it worth the risk? i dont want my online account hacked?

It's a risk that's for sure. I don't think I'd be comfortable relying on them to safeaguard my personal information. I'd just rather pay the $150 and send it to Sony as I'd trust them more than I trust any other game retailer. I guess it all depends how much you're willing to risk in order to get a new slim.

they said that if they try and fix it, it will be "wiped clean"

if you try to sell the ylod ps3 off craiglist, you can get a little more than gamestop.

Are you even sure EB Games take broken PS3 because the one by me doesn't so it might be a company policy or a branch thing.

yep my EB GAMES said $50 anyway how do i deactivate my ps3 online? where is the website?

I suggest you take out the HDD and take it to a shop which repairs pcs and stuff and ask them to format it.Then you wont have to worry about your personal data.
