I got this yesterday and I was BUMMED. I was just getting back into Final Fantasy VII, which was an AWESOME surprise the other day, and also a couple of missions away from beating InFamous. I hear the machine beep 3 times, then the power cuts off. After that it's exactly what happened in the video link at the beginning of this post. I'm thinking "DAMN, I have a bunch games to play right now and a few coming up that I plan on buying. What am I to do, call Sony?"

I did. They gave me some B.S. about it and said they'd send a box for me to send it away and get fixed (or refurbished).

"It will cost $150.00 and take a month to get it back and all the data will be lost." That's what Sony tech support basically said. Not those exact words, but that was the gist of it.

F THAT...

I can't wait that long! That's ridiculous! THATS CRAZY. Lucky for me a buddy of mine told me to just check Craigslist for "PS3 Repair". I did, and found this PS3 WIZARD.

This guy fixed my PS3 in an HOUR! For $90! Didn't lose ANY DATA AT ALL! The thing is quiet as a mouse and works like the day I bought it! If I would have went with Sony I would have been screwed for a MONTH, and would have lost all of my Pictures, Music, Movies, and Saves!

Screw Sony and their customer service. I'm lucky I lived near a guy who does this obviously ALL the time. If the same unfortunate thing happens to you (and I hope it doesn't) look for a Repair person or shop that fixes consoles, especially on craigslist. It's waaay better than waiting for Sony to fix your PS3.

Back to InFamous, then a little FFVII.

Not only was Infamous kickass, but I just picked up Advent Children on Blu-Ray today! On my way home, my buddy calls me up and tells me that Final Fantasy VII is coming to the PSN Store today. I had to get it immediately! Of course I had to wait until about 7 o'clock for the store to update, so I popped in the Advent Children Blu-Ray till then.

Man oh man, does this movie kick some major ass. Let me tell you right now, the DVD of Advent Children does not do the movie justice. GO OUT AND PICK UP THE BLU-RAY, ADVENT CHILDREN COMPLETE. It explains soooo much more of the story and the actions scenes are visually perfect. I have never seen better computer animation in my LIFE. If you have a PS3, grab this Blu-Ray immediately! THIS IS A MUST OWN. It has the best speical features too, like the history of all of the Final Fantasy games, and various trailers for Advent Children, as well as gameplay footage from Final Fantasy XIII.

Well, that wraps up my "FFVII Day" blog. What an awesome day to be a Final Fantasy VII fan with a PS3!!!

Time to go play some Final Fantasy VII on the PS3

This InFamous Demo is so F'n RAD. This main character "Cole" is a total BADASS. I can't stop playing it. I wan't to play the whole game right now!

Now I have to wait until the 26th?!? DAMN!
