    OK guys, I've read through the last couple of pages but just want to get a little clarification on some things.

    Playing NHL09 today and the ps3 shuts off. Try to turn it on and the light turns green, then yellow, then flashing red.

    I think I want to buy a new 80 GB since I don't want to send it to Sony and possibly not get it back for a few weeks.

    So, here are my questions. If you guys could answer them, I would greatly appreciate it.

    1. Can I take my 60 GB hard drive out and put it in the ps3 that I bought? If so, should I do that before I turn on the new ps3 for the 1st time or later?

    2. If I can't move my 60 GB drive to the new ps3 machine, is there any other way to get the files back?

    3. I'm not really concerned with the 1 game I had downloaded (bowling) but are my Rock Band DLC, exported AC/DC, and UFC DLC fighters lost or can I re-download them?

    4. Is there any way to get NHL 09 out of the system? Sucks that it is just sitting in there.

    5. When I buy a new system, is there a better place to buy a warranty from? I was searching for somewhere that would do a switch or in house fixing of the system.

    Sorry about the questions, I'm just really bummed that this happened.
    hey man 3 months ago my 60 gb ps3 had the same problem i was told it was due to over heatng so last month i sent it in on the wensday before mormeoril day and got it back that friday before memoril day

    you dont have to wait for them to fix as here is what happens

    you have to fill out a service request at playstation.com and fill out there info they will send you a box this useally takes 3 to 5 business days after that you need to box it up they did 2 night air shipping with me so they got it that wensday before memoril day

    what they do is once they get your overheated system they check and make its in good condition like it has not been taken apart or trampered with

    ome they recieve it the old ps3 that is they will ship you off another 1 that same day and depending on the shipment you should recieve it 2 or 3 days after

    they said they do it this way so we dont have to wait on them to fix it luckly i had an 80 gb to hold me over

    but my 60 gb works like new now

    you should do it send it in

    they are located in Lerado Texas but it was great service

    anyway if you decide to do it you should let them know your disk is stuck and they will try and get it out for you

    but with mine i had no disk in at the time i got the yellow light of death so hope this helps!

            the only way to get the files back would be if u put it back into the same ps3 u took it out of. but when u send in your ps3 to Sony, then will send u a new refurbished 60gb. not the one u sent in.

            3. i dont know. you would have to ask Sony.

            4. your only chance is to put a note in the box along with your ps3 and tell them u have a game stuck inside. no guarantees though.

            5. i dont think anyone does in house fixing/swapping anymore. u have to ship it somewhere.

            hope i helped.

              what u guys think................

              i have 2 Ps3's. my original got messed up, which i ended up sending to Sony and and getting a new 60gb.

              while that one was being worked on, i bought a 40gb from my co-worker cuz i couldnt just take not having any games to play. it is my life! lol

              so now i got 2 good ps3's. 60 and 40. should i sell the 40? i was gonna sell it to my best friend but he is not going to buy it anymore. i was thinking about selling it but then i thought, what if my 60 messes up again? its good to have backup. i cant go without something to play lol.

              opinions?

                  Sony Spills More PS3 Motion Controller Details To Devs

                  Sony Computer Entertainment reached out to its development partners today, getting them up to speed on the new PlayStation Eye-powered motion controller tech it showcased at E3 2009. It also expanded upon the details provided at the show.

                  The PlayStation 3's second motion control push is slated to launch in Spring 2010, Sony Computer Entertainment reiterated to developers today, arriving with a "range of first-party and third-party content." SCE pitched the new controller as capable of functioning "with any games across all genres from casual to core."

                  On the technical side, SCE says that the PlayStation Eye accessory will come equipped with force feedback rumble. Sony boasts that the "face-tracking and head-tracking capability already in the PS3 SDK" will offer developers "powerful tools for new types of user interaction."

                  Sony says its new controller will also work in tandem with the Eye's built-in microphone array for voice input and voice recognition. Up to four of the new motion controllers can be tracked at once by the PlayStation Eye.

                  Adding the wand controller to games comes at a horsepower cost, Sony notes, writing that the "motion-tracking library has some SPU overhead and has an impact on memory as well, although these will be minimized."

                  The developer targeted communication also indicates that Sony is "currently looking into the possibility" of combining motion control wand and stock PS3 controller functions, offering the example of "the motion controller as a sword and use DualShock 3 as a shield."

                  Sony did not express a price, firm launch date or plans to bundle the PlayStation Eye motion control accessory.

                          sorry, but no. once u remove a HDD from the ps3 it was originally in and try to use it in another ps3 u will lose everything cuz u will have to re-format it.

                            Yeah you can't interchange the HDDs without the other wanting to reformat.

                            Best thing you can do Kevin is do a complete back up on a flash drive. First delete everything you don't need and then do it. This is the best route to go.

                              That sucks man. None of these systems are made worth crap this generation. All the 60 GB's seem to be dropping like flies recently (on this board anyway).

                                I agree with you there. All 3 systems have been crapping out on people left and right...........funny thing is that its been a common issue with each one.
