My ps3 broke and my warranty is up?

Question

my ps3 broke today it had the yellow flashing light and it wont start. I am pretty sure it is broken and i got a 1 year warranty for it and ive had it for a year in a half. i got the 60 gig model. Does this mean that i have to buy a 400 dollar system or do i still get discounts on a new system

Answer 1

out of warranty repair for ps3 is $150.

Answer 2

Sorry but you need to buy it full price. There's no discount.

Answer 3

Why buying a new one if you can fix yours for money. Anyway it'll cost less than a new one. 60GB is a rare one.

Answer 4

you can try calling sony and sending it back in, they might be able to fix it (but it might cost ya a pretty penny).

our died too... not the same problem as yours, but enough to p**s us off that we dont even want to fix it.

Answer 5

go to games stop to purchase a used one you can still get a warranty on it

Answer 6

send it back to sony they will replace the part that is broken but its going to cost you some money

Answer 7

but a sony continuous play warranty and then in 2 weeks time, report it broken. say it happened recently.

simple.

if that doesn't work, which it should, your stuffed and will have to buy a new system.

Answer 8

You are going to have to either pay to get it fixed or just buy a new one at full price.  They won't offer you a discount based on the fact that you already bought one.  Next time, make sure you buy it a place that offers an oppurtunity to purchase and extended warranty.  The warranties on most any products suck, but some of the better stores offer you a chance to purchase an extended warranty (the price of the extended warranty depends on the price of the purchase/item getting bought).  I just got a PS3 about three months ago, but I bought the extended warranty for 50 extra dollars that covers me completely for 3 additional years.  

Answer 9

call sony they should fix it for cheap if not free ect. if not sell it for parts then buy a new one.

Answer 10

you can give sony a ring...and they can probably fix it...but u will be charged...thats why extended warranty is recommended
