About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 6499 DaysIt's all started when I was playing some Far Cry 2..
Loaded my savegame then my Ps3 suddenly turned off. I tried to switch on again, but it beeped three times then the red led turned yellow for a second and the system turned off.
This is what happened exactly with my Ps3 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmLlvRtpHrA
It's a 60Gb model bought in June 6 2007. It was kept horizontal and in a place that has good airflow. I admit it ran a lot, and I kept switched on and off everyday 4-5 times. And of course the warranty has expired. I called the store where I bought and they told me that there's a shop called "service of the consoles" maybe they can repair it but it will be expensive. They also told about Sony's Hungarian service but it was more expensive, and I don't have enough money..
So, what should I do? Anyone experienced this kind of problem? And what's going to be with my saved games and trophies, I will loose everything? To be honest, I really don't want to buy a new console..
Thanks in advance.
Ps: Sorry for my english

Since 7027 DaysI thought that all electrical goods carry a 2yr warranty anyway?.

Since 7459 DaysIt's worth adding that MS only fix our consoles for free because they know their product is at fault and they don't want to see a huge legal battle to pay out to its consumers.

Since 7027 DaysI know that they had BIG problems with regards to the RROD etc, but I have always been extremely pleased with Microsofts hardware policies. (well, compared to Sony anyway).

Since 7453 DaysCustomer care here is pretty good though, but it in no way does it make up for the major cock up the 360 really is.

Since 7570 DaysI found a killer deal on a PS3 bundle but decided against it.
I really want a bluray player and Killzone2 so if anyone can chime in, please do.

Since 7453 DaysCheck out this forum: http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/...
I don't think this problem is all that serious though, not atm anyway. I don't think the signals are as alarming as they've been (and are still) with the 360, it's definitely not going to hold me back on a PS3 purchase.
I will however keep an eye on this as I'm looking to buy another PS3 maybe next year, after selling mine last year. But, untill I see some more alarming reports, I don't think it's a valid reason not to go for a PS3.

Since 7453 DaysStill, in practice it's not all that relevant (and not all that relevant in this discussion either). I've had to return something often after the 6 months period, without a hassle.

Since 7506 DaysThere are a lot of rules and procedure in business that don't allow for any type of mistreatment to a consumer so as not to affect their future buying their product.
People get a lot of free things in life by simply complaining enough
Since 7459 DaysDon't think they are giving you a better service out of the goodness of their hearts they are forced to do this otherwise they could be taken to court over it.
