There was a post not long ago about someone with a PS3 just out of guarantee going tit`s up, I shouldn`t have posted in that thread because mine has just died on me :-( It is the 60gig one and I was in middle of a game and it just locked up when loading next Level, so turned off and on then it wouldn`t read any disc whatsoever! tried bluray cd dvd and a avchd (got a hd camcorder)
Anyhow As I new my friend got his mended out of warranty rang Sony at beginning of week (my PS3 is 13 months old by way) and they were really good and organised for a courier to pick it up today (even sent a txt message to confirm would be today!) will be repaired or replaced (with refurbished one I presume?) and will bring back all FOC! so just a heads up it worth asking if it goes wrong just out of warranty! 5**** to Sony as long as it comes back all ok haha!
