Okay when I got my PS3 last week I had only watched a blu ray movie on it which played fine. I then popped Assassins Creed in Saturday morning and got about 15 mins of gameplay out of it and it shut off and started blinking a red light. I tried standing it up on end also lying flat as well and in the last attempt I put a window fan next to it. All results were the same the system would shut down after 15 mins of gameplay.
Now I can't get in touch with the place I got it from till Monday morning. I was looking at there terms were I got it from and it says if a replacement model is available they will replace it otherwise process me a refund.
Now i'm stuck because I have both games and blu ray films that I can't return so I need a PS3 now. So I have a few options.
Tell them I don't want to exchange the item and to just process my refund. I'm hoping I can do that without them saying they need to get the RMA back and then they'll let me know if there going to send out another 20gb model or just process the refund. I know I won't get my refund until they get the RMA back.
So should I try and wheel and deal with them and get a replacement for the $250 it cost me. Or just see if they can except the refund that way I can just go downtown and buy another one. I guess I don't mind spending a bit more that way I know I have a full warranty and sony has there 5 free blu rays with PS3 purchase going on.
So if they tell me tomorrow they will just process it as a refund when it gets received i'm going downtown to pick up another PS3 while I RMA that one.
So then the problem of should I get the 40gb version or the 80gb version. I only have the 20gb version now and had intentions of getting a 160gb drive with the money I saved.
I'm almost leaning towards just getting the 40Gb model for $399 since I already have a PS2 slim and don't really need BC although it would be nice. Just not nice enough to spend another $100 to do something I can already do.
The only other difference I can see would be no media card I don't care and 2 usb ports which is enough for me. It does not support SACD could someone elaborate on SACD and if its that big of a deal?
It pisses me off cause i'm off till Friday and wanted to do some PS3 gaming thats why i'm in a rush to get a replacement even at a premium. Even still if I pay $399 for a 40gb i'm getting 5 blu ray movies a rough value of say $100-$120 so its really only like $299 for the 40gb in my eyes.
