Ps3 help!

so what did you say to the courier when he came then?

just said to him
"wot no exchange console your supposed to be dropping one off as well"

he said "No"

so told him
" aw well I got this one going again anyway so your not taking it"

and just scribbled a sig on his pad to say no longer required for pick up an that was that
 
did you give them ur correct serial number then?

there wasn't a problem with the serial number when I phoned coz, when I gave him the serial number on the phone , I gave him "cechm03" insted of giving him cechg03, then he said "the console IS still under garentee so theres no problem there". I could here him typing in the background as well and he didn't start typing the serial no. until I got to cechm03
 
Well guys an update on this story

I phoned sony yesterday and gave them the serial number off my 40g with the cechm03 at the end, went through the all the cr*p with him, so the guy eventually says yes it in warranty and yes it needs to come in, so he said that they would pick up the console today for REPAIR, and that it will take up to 3 weeks before I get it back.

He did say exchange first then changed it to repair in the same breath, so I didn't know if that was just to put people off from trying it on and to flush out the ones that said no they just wanted an exchange.

Well the courier came today and guess wot I had to send him away with the same as he came with,

"NOTHING"

so I guess that answers the question if sony have caught on yet and the answer to that one is a great big yes, so NO MORE gooooood exchanges.

So hopefully the people that makes things like this public knowledge far to quick will MAYBE learn a valuble lesson from this, because it could be them next time that wants to get somthing changed and can't because other people have spoiled for everyone else by not keeping things under wraps.

Yes sony would of caught on eventually, but everyone could of maybe enjoyed it for another couple of months if it had been kept quiet a bit longer.

well said. thats exactly what happened here
 
YLOD is usually overheating problem (crappy thermal paste they used )

it seems not. the problem is gas bubbles in the pcp. (low cost manufacturing). of which Sony, are, and were aware prior to it being released.
 
So, this does not work anymore!? Please tell me it isn't so!??

yes m8 it still works , just follow the info , but dont say you have a drive problem or they will just want to fix it.

say youve got the ylod and you will get an exchange m8
