Getting my PS3 repaired

[bhampton]

Hi,

My 60GB that I bought on launch day got the YLOD last Friday. Lucky for me I had a 3 year warranty on it. So... I sent it off to Tennessee.

I can't believe how much I depend on my PS3 ... not having it was like not having one of my arms or something... really... I realized just how much I love it like never before.

Anyway... I got a message saying it was repaired and would arrive back to me and according to the tracking today is the day. Then.... something bad happened.

UPS rolls up yesterday and I'm thinking "IT'S HERE" and they pull out a box that's the right size but way too light.

Turns out it was a "coffin" or the box Sony sends you with instructions for making an exchange.

I have a feeling they sent me back my broken PS3 with instructions for returning it to Sony for exchange.

Seems like I will have to wait now while my PS3 goes to Texas this time.

I tell you it cuts both ways. I really want my PS3 back now. I'm not sure that Sony still exchanges 60GB units and I've heard some of their refurb-ed units only last a few months as well.

So there... I just had to tell someone... hopefully I will have my PS3 back and working again someday. It's very hard to be without it. I even bought a PSPGO to have in the meantime.
