It is the first ive ever heard of needing it. Also, this PS3 is STILL under warranty, it was purchased ~10 months ago. He pulled it up on his database and said it is well within warranty.

I am glad its done and over with and that i have a working PS3 again, but i really hope that if anything, people learn what you have to go through to get a PS3 fixed from sony direct. Have to admit tho, after this stressful ordeal, i dont feel like playing anything or watching a movie LOL. POTC3 is still in shrink wrap.

I am also like that in that I use credit cards but pay them off immediately, and have a ridiculously high credit score. I use them because I can earn points, miles, etc. Then there is also the opportunity cost of carrying cash. Plus there is the added security and credit protection and the ease of purchasing online. I would also remind you that some cards like certain american express cards will extend some product warranties for up to an additional year. As long as you are financially responsible, which you seem to be, then I would strongly to encourage you to use your card more frequently. If you are worried about overspending then try paying off your cards weekly or bi-monthly to remind you of the financial impact.

As far as not wanting to use it after this ordeal, it makes sense as it was the stressor in this recent event. Try reading, exercising, or something else you enjoy that will also raise your endorphins, and help you to de-stress and relax.
