So yesterday I just got my "refurbished" 60 GB playstation 3. This was a replacement for a previous one that got the yellow light of death. So after playing Uncharted for about 20 minutes it turns off by itself and beeps 3 times so I'm like SHIT so i turn it back on and it boots up so im kind of relived but still kind of worried so i let it sit for about 2 hours. So now I play Uncharted for 20 minutes again and this time it gets the yellow light and my Ps3 is now dead with Uncharted stuck in the drive.

3 Hours after i unbox my ps3 it breaks FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU


I guess I've learned my lesson...

Don't deal with Allgames4u on ebay.com... or else you'll go through hell.

This was a replacement for a previous one that got the yellow light of death.

360s might die more often, but at least you don't have to pay for the replacement.

although I can imagine this isn't completely accurate
http://consumerist.com/2009/08/xbox-360-failure-rate-is-542-percent-game-informer-finds.html
The poorly manufactured, red ring of death-prone console has a 54.2 percent failure rate, compared to 10.6 percent for the PS3 and the Wii's 6.8 percent.

yes you do. Just because the Xbox 360's warranty is longer doesn't mean its "free"

Not to bash on the xbox, but only idiots think that anything is "free". The replacement cost is built into the price of the xbox.

So, the ps3s super low price is because you get to buy a new system when 10% fail?

Both systems sell at a loss.
Windows 7 buyers might be feeling the pinch, but having my 3 year old system replaced at no additional cost to me seems like a better deal than the OP got.

seriously? never get a refurbished one, the risk is never worth the reward I leanred my lesson with my $47 xbox 360, after that I got it fixed by a friend for $20, eventually I ended up buying a PS3 anyways. Still dont have a WII and i dont think I ever will, not much draw to it for me
