Good evening fellow Blu-ray.com peeps. It is my hope that your night has been more eventful and pleasing as mine.

Best Buy has had my PS3 in for repairs beyond the 60 day repair period. I was actually quite excited to get a new 80Gb PS3 to replace it, but unfortunately this is not the case. As it turns out if I want the data from my former machine I will have to pay a whopping $180. For an extra $100 I could by a new Wii. Ouch.

I have decided to wait and see how long it will take to get my 60 Gb machine fixed, so that I can retrieve my data. Is all that I actually need are some photos from a vacation a couple years ago.

The question I pose is, has anybody else confronted this before? Is it actually true? etc. etc. etc. Any info is greatly appreciated.

I'm out for the evening, a friends B-Day awaits, but I hope to hear from you guys when I return.

Many many thanks.
