Default Help! BestBuy wants to replace my noisy 80GB PS3 with a 40GB PS3 for free...(no SACD)

All of my three PS3s are the 80GB model, all purchased from BestBuy and
all have the BestBuy 2-year replacement policy.

One of the PS3s recently started to become very, very noisy. It sits
inside a glass cabinet, 18 feet away from the couch, yet I can hear this
noisy fan.

I took it to BestBuy and GeekSquad guy just said "we'll replace it... go to
the back(video game section) and get another one..." The only problem
is that they no longer have the 80GB version.... I do not care about the
40GB hard drive size, since I store stuff on the external 1TB drive. I don't
have any PS2 games... and two USB ports are plenty for me.

The biggest and only problem is that the 40GB PS3 does not play SACD.
My PS3s are used more for SACD than Blu-ray. In fact, I own almost
210 SACD discs, compared to my tiny collection of only 80 Blu-ray movies.
(so SACD is very important to me)

What do I do now....? The GeekSquad guy was helpful and said maybe
I should wait for a few months to see if a new SACD-capable PS3 will show
up....(still have 8 months left on the replacement plan)

Any advice appreciated!
