PS3 bought from ebay

[weezy_11]

I agree with Jamesyboyjim.

Just bluff it, the courier will just swap the machines over, he won't check for security seals etc as it's none of his business.

I Googled this and there are loads of reports from people who sent in machines without a sticker and have had no comeback from Sony.

k il give it a few weeks a try again then

is your seal in tact ?

is your seal in tact ?

although it is it was a question that was never asked.

all i said was that i was a member of continuous play and my ps3 had stopped reading any type of disc, thats all i needed (as well as giving them the serial)

If you sign up today, call back on tuesday as i think they are closed over the bank holiday.

I called the next day, but i was feeling cheeky, 08702 405540 is the number i called then press 1.
I said my ps3 wasnt reading discs anymore they asked for the serial and what i had tried and i said a few blu rays a few games a dvd and a music cd and nothing worked (they wasnt interested until every every type of media was confirmed as not being read)

they then said my console was out of warranty to which i replied im a member of continuous play, i was then asked for my reference number which i said i hadnt recieved due to not recieving the confirmation email which im told is quite common, so they took my name + address instead and with a bit of luck someone will turn up on the date arranged

hope this helps you prepare what your going to say!

Thanks

just tell them about your fault mate but make sure they understand theres no way this could be down to you i.e. your tv / leads etc, i'd say tht you tried the console at a friends house who has a 100% working ps3 using their tv / leads and it still didnt display an image.

as said in another post, just say you didnt recieve the confirmation email and therefore dont have your reference number

they can find you on the database by the details you entered
