    My son had his ps3 changed without any problems from sony.
    Rang them and said his games were not loading,and they sent a replacement within 3 days,came in a sealed container from carrier,and we just swapped them over.
    The service we had was excellent.
    Wouldnt hesitate to get another sony make in the future.
  • I have just rung Sony about my sons PSP. Didn't know when it was bought although it is a slim 2003 model. They are exchanging it no trouble at all and have been told it will be with us tomorrow. Amazing service!!! :beer:
  • I just called Sony too, my PS3 was bought in Oct 07 (just broke, just outside of warranty), but I said it was present from brother for last Christmas and they were fine. I will get refurbished PS3 with 3 month warranty :j

    Pity I had to lie as xbox has 3 year warranty and my PS3 was about 3 weeks beyond a year old when it just died. :o

    I'm going to pay for continuous play after this so I never have to be dishonest about my PS3 again. :A
