My PS3 won't read any Discs I put in it.

So I rang Sony and they will send me a NEW PS3. (I wish every Customer Service helpline was like these)

I was just expecting my PS3 to fixed.

But I have to wait til after my hoildays to arrange the pick up of my broken PS3. ( 3 days without PS3 :cry: )

Hopefully they will send me one of those 80GB PS3 :P

PS I'm seeing Three 3's......shud I be Worried :?

I have a question. If your ps3 break and you get sent a new one do you get to keep your HDD to keep your save data or so you have to send them your HDD when you give them the broken one?

Should be able to move your saved data (along with any other downloaded content) to a USB drive or memory card. You can re-download purchased content from the PS Store.

Well, some guys got the data transfered and others didnt, I guess its based on the problem you have. If you cant boot the PS3, they transfer them if you can, they dont. Just my guess but who actually knows

That's rough buddy. However, I don't think they will send you an 80 GB. I'm quite positive that they still have 20 and 60 GB hard drives either in their warehouse or they order them as they need. Come to think of it, they will probably do the same thing MS does, have you take your hard drive out, send in the console and they will send you one with no hard drive. It's actually much easier that way, no need for you to have to re download everything.

When mine broke i was pretty surprised with how great the service was. I really wanted to know where the mysterious building filled with the functional ps3s was tho ;). (at the time there was of course a shortage)

That just made me even more proud of my PS3. I can't even imagine my life without Sony. Ok I can but it just shows that Sony definitley still are the best. I hope you don't die from PS3 starvation though. 3 days, GOD how do you cope?
