I buy all my electronics with my platinum Mastercard and then pay them off immediately. The card automatically doubles the manufacturers warranty.

Edit: EXCEPT for my TV. Damn Costco only takes Debit Cards or Amex and I'm not getting an Amex.

BTBuck1 · 08-13-2007, 06:46 PM

Mine does the 3 beeps everytime I turn it off, IF I turn the TV off, before the ps3 is done shutting down. If I wait for the ps3 to shut off, then turn the tv off...it just turns off without a beep.

Ughhh my 40 gig just did this. GT5 is stuck in there! My warrenty is way over so I just bought a new one with PS move. 2 questions 1. Can I get my GT5 game out? 2. how much would it cost to get this fixed?

BStecke · 08-11-2007, 06:36 PM

I always get the replacement plan from Best Buy on my consoles. The PS3 one was kinda expensive (100 bucks) but if I have a problem I can walk in and get a new console on the spot. I know people who waited on Sony to repair their console, and I'm not into waiting that long. Plus, if the console dies within the manufacturer's warranty, I still keep my replacement plan.

jon s · 08-11-2007, 10:55 PM

I tried rebooting, resetting and unplugging the AC cord, no dice. The unit does not even recognize the two remotes I have.

I called Sony (SCEA) and explained my problem, they immediately said they will send me some shipping material to return the PS3 to their Laredo, Texas repair center. Inquired if this is a common issue, especially since there was no hesitation about returning the unit, i got a definite vague answer. i.e. there seems to be a problem with some units and they are not telling us. I did notice that after upgrading the unit to firmware 1.90, the fans did not run as loud. The question is, did the firmware alter the thermal characteristics of the fan, and if so, enough to make the PS3 more susceptible to failure? I also see on youtube postings about the three beeps so i am not the only one having this problem. There are also others on the PS forum having the same issue. Looks like the X-Box 360 may not be the only unit with a design issue.

they have been talking about heat issues for a while ,at least they are shipping it back ,hopefully you`ll just get a new one or fixed ,can`t be all bad at least they are addressing it

BStecke · 08-11-2007, 11:37 PM

A little off topic, but what's the best way to back up your saved data, mostly game saves, in the event a replacement console is needed? I just had to do this for my 360 and it was a bit of a hassle.

Flash drive. Of course back it up before your console needs to be replaced.

Sony always sends a complete new console.

If they repair the console, it costs Sony more then if they just send a new console. Well, at least in Europe.

I know this, because I called Sony in case my PS3 would brake. I had a HDMI problem at the time, but it was my own fault. All I had to do was turn my tv off and then on again.

So you will get a new console, update your PS3 hardware if you can.

They don't always do...mine just recently died and they sent me a refurbed unit with only a 90 day warranty... I figured since my 1 year warranty was ending Nov. , they were not going to give me another new unit with another year warranty....

So maybe those extended warranties maybe worth it...

I think it would be a big mistake not to get a 2 or 3 year extended warranty. Besides that added security you just have to walk into the store with you ps3 rather than sending it in the mail hoping it gets to its destination.

ClaytonMG · 08-13-2007, 07:54 PM

The three beeps is meaningless. I can get the 3 beeps right now... see, I pressed eject and there wasn't a disc in there. Hence the 3 beeps. I love these people on Youtube that are crazy fanboys. Don't listen to them, seriously, it's pathetic.
