You talkin to me?
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); so i got the YLOD on my ps3 now cod5 is stuck in there. now i have a few options of what to do

my curent ps3 is the 89gb with 4 usb slots and backwards compatible

1. argue with sony until i get it fixed for free(limited warrenty and will probably break again soon, then ill have to pay 150 to fix could break again after that)

2. pay the 150(im lazy, same problems as option 1)

3. trade in my ps3 to gamestop(back up the harddrive, lose cod5 which i dont play to often)
then buy a slim or a 160gb model(id wait for a good bundle or until before MW2 comes out)
maybe extended warrenty

with option 1 it takes some arguin with sony and im lazy. a bit risky with what i get back, if it works long or not.

with option 2 same as 1 but i pay extra 150 probably worrst option

with 3 i get a controller which i need, i get extra hd space(not to big deal for me). with the money from trading broke ps3 i could buy cod5 back and put some money towards the slime, but its more expensive.

so what should i do, option 1, 2 or 3 with or without extended warrenty?

other advice is greatly appreciated

and if anyone knows how much game stop pays for trading in a ps3 or if they test to see if its broke or whatever that would be very helpful

thanks to anyone who helps in advance

Looks to me like you have just answered your own question.

Option 3 FTW.

Yes. You need to void your warranty, take out the Blu-Ray drive and take the cover off--revealing the disc. Simply lift the disc out of the drive and replace everything. When you put the Blu-Ray drive cover on, you have to make sure the parts are all in the right spot.
