Sky. if you have the Money, I would take that straight down to Gamestop and trade that in for slim ASAP.

Sky. if you have the Monmey, I would take that straight down to Gamestop and trade that in for slim ASAP.

I've thought about that but someone here just had a Slim go down. The Slim may be better or it could even be worse than the fatty's for YLOD. We just don't know yet. We won't know unit the Slim has been around for 2 or 3 years. The cost of having a real technician (non Sony - around $80) fix it is better than me trading it in for a Slim at the moment.

That said, I'd like to know the trade in values for a 60 GB fatty in case I get more serious about that idea.

Don't want to give up my 60 gig machine as I'm emotionally attached to the full BC.

It's out of warranty anyways so if the 35.00 I spent to fix it only lasts a month or so... I'm not out that much.

Gamestop told me yesterday they'd give me $180 store credit for 60 GB ps3. That ain't bad.

I think they have that $50 extra hardware bonus going on right now till 5/16.

That's pretty sweet if you could get $230 for an older PS3 but it doesn't look like EB Canada is doing that. That would be really tempting.

Actually Rudy, it might be $180 with the $50 trade-in, sorry I should have clarified earlier.

Well after having my 60gb YLOD I had a local outfit repair my ps3. Two weeks later it YLOD again luckily the guy has a 90 day warranty.

Yeah, there's a pretty big sense of accomplishment after repairing the thing yourself. However, mine just died again after doing the same repair a couple weeks ago...so be prepared for a temporary fix.

Yup, my freind did the same thing, worked for a few weeks and they gone.

Get it repaired and transfer your data to a new slim ASAP!

My ps3 was acting up as well for a while. I changed the blu-ray lens 3 times and it kept burning them out. After a while I became tired of the situation and traded it in at gamestop for a slim. Even though it was defective I was able to get $120 for a 40gb that was damaged. I paid the difference for a slim. Like my dad told me when some of these elecetronics go bad just buy a new one. Fixing it sometimes is not the same as buying a new one.

if u cant turn it on long enough to transfer your game saves to a HD then its gone unless you can get the issue fixed without them erasing your HD clean.
