MarketTantrik Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 called the sony customer care centre .... they clarified "we are not authorised to service out of country consoles but we i can provide u the address of our service centres u can take ur console to them and may be they can help u" she also clarified that it is going to be a paid service. *no problem if its going to be a piad service unless its going to be fixed * Just get your a*s over to the service centre and hand over your console. They normally take 3 working days before they'll call you to inform you about the problem and the cost estimates for the repair. Once you give the go ahead, then they'll set about repairing it. So you can expect to wait for 7 days before you get your console back. Therefore, the sooner you give it in for repair, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ne0 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 ^^ :shock3: thats awful mate....but thanks for informing everyone....btw, try taking it to grey market ppl and ask them if they can arrange for repairing your console. Some 1 year back, one guy in our office got his x360 (got on ebay thru a grey market vendor) repaired this way. But, the time taken was three months ! Or since someone said they have a paid service in Bombay, try checking with them too b4 going for a 40 GB model ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overclocked Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 This is plain BS that they won't even do the paid service.. what is the reason they gave reaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reaper Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 ^^ spares are not available in India ..... so they just replace the consoles however small the defect is .... in their own words, "We are not authorised to open the PS3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
