Hmmm I believe you have to call Sony and it will run ya $150 to get it fixed. Take some weeks to get it back too.

Same thing just happened to me like 20 minutes ago, man. Just finished up a 4-3 win over the Nationals in MLB 09 The Show and was looking over the league leaderboards, and then the whole damn thing shut off. I thought maybe the power went out, so I try to restart it and all that, and all I'm getting is this stupid yellow light.

This stuff is bullsh*t, man. How do expensive machines like this just break, for absolutely no reason? Unbelievable... still not sure what to do about it...

I became a member of the PS3 casualty club last week. The coffin arrived today in fact.

I'm quite good at boxing up consoles and sending them away as I did it three times with my XBOX 360's.

Thought my PS3 would be good forever.

I'm sure my Wii will break very soon. Maybe I should order the coffin now just to have it ready asnd expedite the process a bit....what d'ya think?

No he's in Canada it's $170 + tax and shipping too I believe. I reported them to the BBB myself but then again every single Sony thing broke on me just after 2 years and not once did they ever give a crap. Of course they didn't even bother to reply to that BBB complaint so that just shows you what $ony thinks of their customers.

Sony must just hate you. I have never had a problem with any Sony product I've owned. My friend had issues with his original Playstation after a lot of usage, but other than that, I've found "$ony" products to be very reliable.

Dude Nintendo stuff don't ever break. My NES is still working. Hell my SNES is too.

Well Called them and like someone mentioned since im in Canada im looking at a $190.78 repair price tag, They said they'd send an email to me for payment options, dont have an email that was literally 8 hours ago... Sony products for the most part as usually very solid, but their customer service is terrible...
Now I have to go back to MVP 05 for my baseball fix, its not easy to do after playing 09 the show...
