PS3 console
I need some advice. My friend gave me his ps3 that has the yellow light of death. I wana call Sony to get it fixed. Is there any place besides Sony that will fix it? I wanted to call Sony and see I can BS them with it and see if I can get it fixed for free or cheap. I've had good luck calling Microsoft with issues. What ya Sony guys think? I wana play last of us so bad. Is there a specific angle I should take with talking to them?

EDIT OK, they include the new HDD in that fee. Not so bad then.

If it's just the hard drive you can buy a laptop hard drive at whatever price you want and install it yourself. Not sure what the ylod is though.

**** me. Just got the YLOD.
I have the older model that plays PS1/PS2/and PS3 games. I'm afraid of sending it in because I want to be able to play all my old games and not be stuck with PS3 only. Any recomendations?...

I never realized PS3's get those problems. Nothing lasts forever I guess. Have you guys ridden them hard, or had kids playing constantly?

I'm on my second PS3. I probably wouldn't send it in. With the 4 coming out, you'll probably be able to get a replacement fairly cheap.

So you're saying there should be some PS3/2/1 models still out there cheaper than sending them in?...

Better. But I prefer PS3 and am kind of biased.
