.....

My 80GB ps3 is now broken! Was playing some COSad AwesomeWAW when it froze and kicked me from gameplay. I then restarted ps3 it loaded fine, then after like 3-4minutes the screen started changing colors to Blue, Green (Lots of Green Circles), Yellow, and a few other colors. Then shortly after that started having designs appear as well that looked just like the Matrix Coding that flutters down from the top of screen. So after calling Playstation Customer Support and realizing I was never going to make it out of their automated customer support. So i then called a different number and spoke with this lady that was definetly not in the u.s. And well she tried telling me I had to hang up with her and call them back, so of course im not going to call them back. So me and this lady i could barely understand went back and forth about how she was useless and supposably she didnt have a manager or anyone thats higher then her, as well as I couldnt get her name, I.D number for employment identification, or even a location of the center. She was contradicting her self practically the whole time i was on the phone with her. 1st thing she said to me on the phone was "please tell me the problem your having so i can connect you with the appropriate department", so i was like ok hook me up with ps3 customer support, she then replied ok get out a pen and heres the number. She wouldnt connect me but what had me stumped was how she said she would connect me from the beginning of the call. Then she wouldnt. I wanted to wrangle the lady and drag here out of her cubicle by the phone cord she was talking to me on. But being im pretty tired after being up all night playing ps3 until it died I was nice and just ended the call with a few words of choice. (Which are all censored here on the forum so no reason to write it...lol)

End Result is after about 40-45mins of the phone calls to 3 different sony numbers I was finally able to get someone to tell me "yep, you definetly need to set your device up for service." Well thats kind of the reason I called you...duh 20mins later She said ok im sending you an email now you fill it out and then your Return Merchandise Authorization form will arrive in the postage mail in 7-10business days (which is 2 weeks) then another 3-5days to allow them to receive the item then another 7-10business days before i should suspect mine repaired or exchanged. Looks like ill be getting a re-furbished ps3 for christmas from sony, and with out ps3 for the mean time. :( Guess i needed to take a break anyways my baby girls going to be born on Dec. 4th anyways (inducing the labor) time to start being a dad and not gaming all day and night like a adoloscent. So this is what Ive been doing for the last 1~1-1/2hrs.

Yes it does suck! ALOT! But Im trying to remain positive as possible about it so I keep telling myself its a little too Ironic that it broke the week my little girl is being induced. The worst part so far is i have not the slightest where my reciept is lol. Thank goodness for circuit city and paying with a debit card, (they can reprint receipts.) So for now i will sit here and twirl my thumbs thinking about how nice it would be to go do a bayonet jump right now. :(

I would exspect that from a 60Gb but from an 80GB thats unheard of until now.

Congrats on having a baby girl on December 4th.

I really wouldnt expect that too happen on any device I spend over $500 on. Considering this ps3 is only 11months old in a like 3days.

But then again I do play 4-10hrs a day depending the days.
