    Take a sip of Black Label and remember the good times. lol

    You can either send it to Gophermods and they can repair for half the price of Sony. You can open it yourself and take out the BR. Buy a new one (bundles are cheap and you know its brand new).

    the amount of mechanical parts in a ps3 compared to a snes is probably quadrupled x10 so the more things that make it work=the more things that can break. very simple.

    Usually when I vacuum my crib, I vacuum out all the vents on my PS3 to prevent dust build up. I've been thinking about doing this to my 2 1/2 year old Fat PS3 as a preventive measure.

    7 parts to this. Looks simple enough.

    Yeah I went to their website and it says 69.00 so I can ? with that.

    Ayo B, I tried that Fantest to get that Netflix Bluray out and that joint ain't working. I looked online and apparently that doesn't work for the launch 60GB Fatboys. Is there any other way I can get that disc out or will Netflix just have to wait until I send it to GopherMods?

    Your warranty done up anyway, so just open it yourself. It's not hard at all.

    I'm actually sending it out to GopherMods today. I'm going to try and do overnight shipping so they can get it in the AM. I need to get this joint back so I can try this Battlefield. Or I can just up for this X-Box Live to try it on 360. I might as well sell this damn 360 w/ kinect. I haven't played this joint in months.
