Question about PS3 returns

[SillyMammo]

Well, my 40gb PS3 got the YLoD yesterday. I called Sony and they told me up to 5 business days to get the return box and 10-12 business days to fix and return. I wanted to know how accurate is this turnaround estimate? I have a $50 BB gift card and I'm thinking of just buying a slim for a $100 more, and getting the Fat fixed at a later date.

I was also wondering how many of our blu-ray.com members have had their PS3 brick? I'd post a poll but don't know how to do it.
