CAGiversary!

OK, let me begin. My PS3 is my favorite game console of this generation (and maybe any generation) and recently celebrated it's first birthday December 28th, 2008 (Which voided it's warranty...keep that in mind). I keep it at room temperature and dust it off now and then. I maintain it fairly well, even though I play it quite often. So now, I was using the web browser (I have been since my Laptop of 2 years also busted, though that one was admittedly my fault), and I notice that the PS3 freezes a few times when I use it. I suspected the multiple tabs with CAG and Youtube running at the same time might have clogged its memory, so I ignore it (this was a week or so ago). Then, I started getting into gamesharing this week (Not really relevant but kinda) and did that a few times. I was recently gamesharing and was about to download pixeljunk monsters when the console freezes. The button in the front wasn't shutting it off (those three fast beeps that you may/may not have heard), so I had to go for the back switch (which I hate doing). Then, I start up the beast again and it loads that Sony startup screen, but doesn't reveal the user options as it always does. So I try it 3 times and nothing. I go to my wii browser (the browser Im typing from currently) and get Sony's number. I call them, tell them whats up, and they say that their best guess was that the browser was loading while something else on the HDD was loading (somehow?) and it corrupted the data on my hard disk. So they say that (even though it was their error - I think, and my warranty JUST expired) I need to pay 150 bucks to get it repaired. But there's two more kicks to the balls. All of my gameshared games, game data (Almost 2000 hours accumulated Im guessing, maybe more, and its all gone. MGS final fight with "you know who" gone. GTA IV stuff, gone. Everything. Is. 
ing. Gone. But that's not it. I forgot the password to my master account, and had to put in a fake B-day (Im 17 FYI), so all 30-40 of my trophies are gone. My Soul Calibur IV DLC gone. The Last Guy gone. Luckily, my secondary account held all of the home stuff and my tertiary holds most of my DLC games. So what Im asking CAG is that if someone knows any sort of solution to keep my spendings less than 150 bucks (sorry, 149). Id also like any help in if its actually fixable. I hear getting a new HDD might work, but I havent confirmed. First one of my favorite youtubers gets his ass partially shut down because of the Youtube war on WMG, now this. Damn...
