So, as you may know, my old launch PS3 died of natural causes quite a while ago. As i am usually busy with university it took me a while to get around to deal with the problem. I eventually gave up on having it splutter back into life and called Sony for a replacement (that cost me over $300). I now have a 60gb PS3 once more. I must say the service was awesome.

They sent a guy round that had the replacement PS3 and at the same time would relieve me of my old PS3. I still think they should have given it to me for free but thats a whole other rant .

Now I just have the problem of my brand new Dell laptop dying on me. I swear to God there must be something in my touch that kills electronics!!! Oh, by the way, Dell are being really quite irritating. I want either a replacement (since the laptop has suffered 2 faults even after they sent a repairman along to replace the motherboard!!) a refund or another repair but with an upgrade for the fiasco they have got me in right now. It seems I am pushing them to sending me another repairman who will also be giving me a better processor but that remains to be finalised in our discussions on Monday (Dell offices are closed on the weekend).

I look forward to gaming with you guys soon! If you haven't added me already, my PSN is Wonzan.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I just switched on my PS3 and it wasn't even 10 minutes till it completely froze and then reset with a red blinking light. Naturally I googled this and found it means a hardware failure of some sort caused by overheating (after TEN minutes?!?!). I don't have warranty obviously so I am going to have to shell out £150 if I don't convince Sony to fix their own mistakes in hardware. That is around $300. That is a **** load of money!!!

What is most weird is yesterday I got a call from a girl which ignored but then she called again later and I reluctantly picked up and said something along the lines of "OMG you just killed me in Metal Gear!!" (Of course I apologised to her today at university) and now my PS3 has died. It is definitely a sign. FRIENDS >>> PS3.

Ahhh there were so many games that I was looking forward toooooo! I just bought a new laptop for £800 (around $1300) to (in fact it still hasn't been delievered!) so I'm quite out of pocket and can't afford that repair bill for my PS3. Maybe I should setup a donation line and get some gamespotters to help me out

That means I won't be on here very often (well actually it means I shouldn't be on here very often if I don't want to fail =P). Well, at least I can look forward to the awesome escapades that come hand in hand with going to uni.

Best wishes everyone.
