(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So my ps3 got the yellow light of death last december. I sent it in for $100 and they sent me back a refurb in January with a 3 month warranty. Now, 4 months later the refurb gets YLOD and sony won't fix it unless I pay another $100. So heres my options
1. Argue with sony (IDK what to say)
2. Pay the money get it fixed(not likely)
3. Try to transplant my blu-ray player into my other ps3 with a broken disc drive
4. Sell it to gamestop for a crap price and buy a slim from a friend for $150

What should I do

Check how much money u can get from gamestop?
If they give u 100$ u can buy an PS3 from your friend for only 50$ (because u got 100$ for old ps3)
if u only get 50$ u still have to pay 100$ to your friend used PS3 so you better get an new from Sony

Take apart and fix yourself then sell to gamestop as a working ps3 not a YLOD ps3 therefore you will get alot more but when u take warrenty sticker off make sure u heat it up so it doesnt void theres a tut on here somewere showing you how to do it gimme a few mins ill look for it for u

Its easy to fix YLOD ive fixed mine 3 times but as long as u make it look like its never been opend the shop u sell it to will never noe and you will get more i kno its wrong in a way especially to the person that ends up buying it but hey thats life some things work out for you and some dont :mad:

hopefully it craps out while its in the hands of gamestop or on their warranty. 4 months huh sounds alot like planned obselesence

WRONG!! gamestop will only give you store credit , not cash..

Fix it yourself. Save yourself tons and tons of money. I wrote a guide on how to do it if it helps you at all

Buy the slim from the friend as said Sony charges you $100 but you can buy a slim from your friend for an extra $50 and slim's have no faulty at all

sell and buy a fagbox
