[quote name='ian1418']Paco and Iamthecheapestgamer, please take your flame war elsewhere. This thread is for advice/stories ondead/dying PS3s and how tofix them or have them fixed.[/QUOTE]
I apologize completely for sidetracking this thread. However, I just get irked by people who think that they're better than someone else and feel the need to 'brand' the people they're insulting. They should take a look in a mirror sometime and get off their friggin' high horse.
Again, I apologize for taking this thread off in a direction that it needn't have gone and I am glad to hear that you finally got your PS3 back from Sony and it's been repaired properly.
I had to send mine out to Sony too, so I know what you're going through, though luckily mine was just barely still under warranty.
