My PS3 Died :(

[BoostedFloto]

So it seems my PS3 has died.

Two nights ago put in Eagle Eye Blu Ray...it froze(Blank screen) up after hitting play, didn't think anything of it reset the ps3 and it played the movie just fine.

Yesterday I played about 2hrs R2 Co-op and then right before finishing up the game froze right after the match finished before going to the stats screen. I turned it off and came back hours later and played like 2-3 Co-op matches and then it froze again right before the stats screen showed up, reset and did it again the first match. So I reset the PS3 again, turned it off with the switch, unplugged it etc etc let it sit and tried again.

Now I cant even get into R2 it freezes after Hitting Start. Tried a few other games and basically same issues.


So my Question is this. I bought my PS3 8/07 from wal-mart. I bought the extended warranty thing they offer there. Is it like some where I can just box it up and bring it in and get a new one? or do I have to go through a bunch of hoops and shit?
