[Mr Speirs]

Well after recommending PS3 mine has just developed the Yellow Light of Death for the second time!!

This is the third time I would've had an issue my PS3. My current one is actually a refurbed one, however my years warranty is up now.
Actually now I remember I had to write to the CEO of Sony to get another years warranty, they were refusing to give me anymore warranty upon accepting a totally different refurbed console.
So that would've given me just 2 months warranty on an essentially new and unfamiliar console.

This was after they had sent me back my console after needing a new blu-ray drive in a ****ty cardboard box without any padding. Got it home and it was YLOD. So new refurbed was offered without any compensation for losing all game save data, lack of proper packaging in the first place and having to get a new console without anymore warrantly!!

To be fair when I wrote to the CEO I demanded an apology, a new controller with the rumble thing and a full years warranty on the replacement console...a week later I got an envelope with all of the above so I was happy.
