Sad day.

[Iceman_II]

Its a sad, sad day.

I just completed the online RMA form to send my PS3 in for service/replacement

I have had it for just over two years, so I figure I really can't complain... well, at least not complain TOO much.

I have never had any problems with the Blu-ray playback, but with games it has had difficulties for a while. Some demo's would never load (tiger woods golf) but there were no other issues.

When the demo for mirrors edge came out, it started to develop a "flickering" of some parts of the picture, large portions which were obviously drawn as a polygon would all of a sudden turn black, then would get painted again.

Tonight, I started seeing that flickering on other games, and she has developed a definite shift to the color green.

I have a question for anyone who has sent in their PS3 for service. I completely expect that they WON'T fix and return the one I send, they ship out a replacement, and fix mine to send to someone else. That said, will they send me the same model back again? I have an original backwards compatible 60gb, and would kind of like to stick with that model if you know what I mean.
