Noctis Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 i ll Try n do that...but can you tell me like wat kind of issues it has....i m totally new to gaming... No specific issues as such. Its just more prone to errors like YLOD (similar to red ring) or SOD (Blu Ray lens not working). So many of us in IVG had to replace our 40 gb ps3s. My own 2.5 years old one is having a problem with the BD drive. to my knowledge only the initial 60 GB versions (with 4 USB slots) were BC. correct me if i am wrong. 60 gb had hardware bc. There were other models with software emulation. lol we knowz the painz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaztin Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Can i buy an additional warranty on it? Not really, except if you bought it from Croma that offers 2 years additional warranty for a price. Try if you can exchange it for a new Phat version.

Chaztin Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Will sony entertain exchange ? Not with sony, with the dealer I meant. Also Sony wont touch it until it gets SOD/YLOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumanth_Champion Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 lol we knowz the painz.Yes, you're wrong. 20GB, 60GB and some of the earlier 80GB models all had BC. 80GB was having Software emulation i think. AFAIK Only 60GB and 20GB launch models had the PS2 hardware also in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaughingMan777 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 OK...thanks a lot for all the info guys....and lets Hope mine does not get any one of the 2 problems mentioned above or any other problem as well......... actually... it would be good if u do get either of those problems within warranty period... u'll probably get a better replacement model, though may take them a couple of months.

playstationdude Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Dude what i dont get is how could he sell you a 40GB ps3 for 19K?I mean as far as i know they didnt even cost that much when they were in production. Also if you wanted ps2 compatibility why didnt you simply buy a newer version ps3 and a ps2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRch-0n Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Plus why didnt you check prices online ? Or OVER HERE ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColorCodePurple Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Cheer up mate,and dont sell that ps3 It could be an awesome collectors item after 10-15 years You could probably get double your price back.As long as you keep it in a good condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 +1 , u should had atleast taken the 80GB one if u wanted the phat one. To the OP threaten the dealer that u will drag his sorry ace to the consumer court for misrepresentation of pricing and im sure he'll buckle in and do something about it. Dude just dont take this lying down... 19k for 40gb is a ripoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This actually a solution to your problem. If you can purposely get your PS3 to YLOD during warranty then they would have to replace it with a 120gb slim model. Wouldn't usually suggest this but its sonys problem for bringing out faulty hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 is the Warranty offficial or Dealer Warranty? if its official then i think if the ps3 dead by any chance you will be getting a 80GB fat one as i dont think they are being produced now. Best is to threaten the Dealer that you will go for a case in the court or something like that. How old are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I was told by one of my friend who has Fat Ps3..that fat one is better than slim one.....so i went for Fat one....did i make a mistake? Slim >> Fat.. Slim PS3 rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigsaw Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 This thread has become slim vs phat now It's more important for the OP to get rid of the 40 gigger than to worry about slim or phat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
