So I mailed out my Playstation 3 last Wednesday and, since I had nothing much better to do, thought I would call Sony to see if they got the package yet.

They did but the automated phone system lady told me that it takes around 7-10 days to process the system (whatever that means) and another 3-5 days to ship it back to me when its fixed. Going by all that information it seems that my system will be fixed up and arrive back at my place sometime in early July.

Yeesh...

I decline all my union invites and I'm going to see how long it will take to fill up again. Given there's a 30 union max for all three categories in the Union section and I already belong to 15 (none of which I post at anyway), this experiment should be expected to be completed very shortly.

Not to mention I have a monstrous amount of people on my friends list who I don't see that most likely wanted to be on my buddy list to send me union invites in bulk.

Stay tuned for the results!

Well I've calmed down significantly since my last post (given it was roughly 4 minutes after it broke) and my options for fixing my PS3 aren't all that bad. I looked at the price for a repair from Sony again and it looks like it'll actually only take $150 to repair it. Sadly, I'm a bit short on cash at the moment and job hunting hasn't been going that well since I started in the beginning of May. Not to mention I also have to save a good chunk of my money for tuition...

Ugh, I guess this is what I get for buying a used system with a 7 day warranty that the store apparently doesn't refurbish before selling. At least I learned a valuable lesson: Check if the system is refurbished before I make a purchase.

Fallout 3 better blow my **** up my ***** brain to make up for this incident.
