Wii? PC? or one of the other options?

[goh]

I doubt my PS3 will be fixed,sure the 360 broke all those times but after this I now realize the fact I'm about to be on #7 also means they were willing to replace it 6 times (though I had to complain quite a bit one of the times). So I was wondering what I should do with all the extra credit or cash I'll have from trading in/selling all my PS3 games cause that's not looking good,I'm leaning towards the 360 game option but was curious what other people think.

I am confused, are you keeping the 360 and selling the PS3?

Re: Wii? PC? or one of the other options?

I'm probably not doing anything with the PS3. It's broke. They're not fixing it. I have no way to get them the money to fix it. They gave me another number to call to see if they'd do anything but it's not likely,they were closed when I called. In the very likely event that fails I'm not going to have much use for all these games. My 360 I get back will not be broken (well not untill I update it 5 minutes after getting it anyway ) so yes the logical conclusion would be to keep the currently working but likely to fail again 360 and at the very least it'd be the 7th so I'd have a better case in getting it fixed.

I personally looked up implied warranty,wich I expected to be looking up for the 360 eventually and while it certianly doesn't "reasonably conform to an ordinary buyer's expectations" I'm not sure that law actually applies to a PS3.

And yes I'm well aware of the irony of all the crap I give MS about systems breaking and wanting to have sold off the 360 numerous times. Along with the irony of originally having no intent of getting a PS3 due to PS2 problems and not having any with the original Xbox.

Build a gaming/HTPC PC. You can make one for ~$500-600 with a decent processor and vid card (no monitor cuz I'm assuming you have HDMI connection to your TV).

Case: $60
Mobo: $100
CPU: $100-150
Vid Card: $100-150
PSU: $50 (or free if you get a case/psu combo)
RAM: 2gb: $20, 4gb: $40
Kb/mouse: $10 (or free if you can part from a previous computer)
HDD: $60
Optical Drive: $90 for a bluray drive

Always check www.slickdeals.net for the latest and greatest. I recently built an HTPC with a dual bluray/hd dvd drive, on board HDMI out, and a Phenom X4 9950 processor with all the trimmings except for a vid card for ~$400.

I would say if your done with your PS3 and feel that you will never want to play anything on the PS3 again you might as well put it towards the 360.

I wouldnt put it towards a pc because it goes obsolete quickly. Atleast with 360 stuff you can resell.

Re: Wii? PC? or one of the other options?

With your history and luck, I voted put it towards a gaming PC. Then you can only blame yourself when it blows up! just kidding.

Wait for the new Windows operating system to make an entrance and build yourself a nice gaming pc.

Hmm...I know I posted in the other thread that what you were getting sounded similar to mine, but I didn't get the YLOD. Although I agree that it seems to be happening more and more, according to the official PS3 board.

Yup. Almost all 20/60 gigs too. Discontinued for a reason I guess.

Ill buy your broken PS3 off you for 50 bucks and pay for shipping if you do not want it.

Re: Wii? PC? or one of the other options?

i too have the ylod. did the online service request to get my ps3 coffin. funny thing is if i had known about the problem i would have backed up my files. lesson learned

Re: Wii? PC? or one of the other options?

I had enough for replacements with almost enough left over for the Wii and that's just from what I traded in today. Didn't do anything else yet other than the replacements as I'm still waiting for my complaint to be responded to. Also ended up with 8 entries in the $500 gift card thing they do there and only 70 people entered to this point wich of course makes the whole thing come full circle should I win,well -$50 I guess but still close. I was hoping to hang onto games this gen.

Don't forget to add in the cost of buying an OS for the system.
