:'( My 60g PS3 died last year, I paid for extended warranty so it was all good though. I haven't bought any electronics in the past 3 years without extended warranty as I always find shit breaks (at least that was true for me last gen). So far for the past 3 years my PS3 is the only piece of tech i've had die on me so extended warranty probably wasn't that worth it. When they fixed my PS3 they literally changed every single component in the thing. I'm hoping this keeps it alive for longer, I'd rather they just gave me a new reliable model, BC and a few extra ports isn't worth the hassle. I have a PS2 anyway.
