Do you have a 60gig that failed that SONY exchanged?

I am taking an informal poll.
I am looking for people who had a 60gig replaced by Sony.
  1. How long have you had it back?
  2. Has it failed again?
  3. Did you pay for the repair, or was it covered under warranty?
Thanks guys & gals!

I had mine back for 4 days.
It failed alright.
Yeah I paid for the repair, though looking back I really should have pushed for Sony to pay.

1) Can't tell you exactly, but I'm guessing it's been about a year and a half
2) No
3) Didn't pay

Took about a week to send and return. Was good service overall.

re: Do you have a 60gig that failed that SONY exchanged?

Sorry, this might be alittle off topic.. but 60gig version have been having problems? Is it only the 60gig? Cuz I brought my ps3 to college where i'm sharing with my room mate, and if I find out that my 80gig is under the same risk I might just bring it home

The 60gig seems to be the worst of the bunch for this problem. I have had it several times now. Once it was just on and at the main screen, no game in, just sitting there. I wouldn't worry about using yours at school... unless your room mate is careless with it. Make a deal with them to split repair cost if it fails.

re: Do you have a 60gig that failed that SONY exchanged?

1. Probably just over a year
2. No, it has freezed a couple of times but still works.
3. Covered under warranty I think, I didn't have to pay anyway.

re: Do you have a 60gig that failed that SONY exchanged?

1.About 10 months.
2.No it's worked perfectly.
3.It was well out of warranty, 9 months out or something like that. However, they replaced it for free - took about a month from phoning them to receiving new ps3, and about another month for the disc that was stuck in there .

Oh all right, I've actually done some research about the yellow light of death, but from what I know only 2% of ps3's have it. I hope god don't hate me

re: Do you have a 60gig that failed that SONY exchanged?

Me too, man. I've had a 60 gig since launch and I love it to death. It would cripple me to see that yellow light come on one of these days.

I hope to god that the 2% stays a 2% and away from me.

re: Do you have a 60gig that failed that SONY exchanged?

1) Since August 12th(failed February 1st, 09(or during the firmware update then)
2). Not yet, but I hope not. Although there still is freezing sometimes.
3). Yes I had to pay $149 for the repair, but they just replaced the defective Lens and gave me a 3 month(90 day) repair warranty. But it's nearing the end, or already ended, of the warranty though.
