I have never had major problems with my 360, but tonight I tried to turn on my PS3 and got this message:
When I click the button to continue, it does a restore/restart and ends up at the same error message over and over and over again. Dead as a doornail.
Looks like this is the PS3 version of the Red Ring of Death. Anybody know about the warranty on the PS3? Or does anybody want to buy a whole bunch of Blu-ray movies now that I no longer have a player?

I don't know why, but maybe the funniest quote I've seen!! I think it's the "originally posted by" part.
It has been reported before and I think you can send it in for that. The PS3 warranty is good for one year. But definitely call the number on the box to see what they say before going all "Office Space" on it man!
If you are done with it, I'll have cash on Friday to buy some Blu-Rays!!

I don't know if I'd call that the RRoD if it's just a HD problem. The PS3's hard drive is easily accessed on the left side of the system (left when looking from the front). There is a little door that lets you get at your hard drive without having to take the beast apart.
When you get the HD off, you can connect it to a computer to run diagnostics, and try to fix it, or you can just go to the store and buy a new hard drive. Not the ideal situation, I'm sorry, but you should be able to find a replacement 2.5" hard drive in the $50-$100 range.
The warranty lasts a year and I've heard things both good and bad about Sony's tech support. My experience, as I've whined about on this board previously, has been terrible. I had a dead PS3 for a couple weeks before they would finally let me send it in, then they returned it to me without fixing it. I had to beg and plead with them to take it back again until they exchanged it.
Good luck man.

that's good news, however i'm pretty much screwed if mine ever died. i have the 60gb version...but i upgraded the drive to a 250gb.
~~i know this sounds really lame, but i was cleaning and realized just how sleek and sexy the PS3 looks compared to the 360.
does anyone else appreciate this aspect of the system?? the slim, slot loading drive also adds a nice finish to the system that says "high end"

Not really. It looks like a grill to me. Still looks better than the 360 though.

I have them both in my cabinet (360 and PS3), side by side, and i'd have to agree that the PS3 is the sleeker looking of the two.

It's amazing that it happened to both of us within a few days! Hadn't heard of that message before and now it hits twice.
Mine was out of warranty, so I have ordered a replacement hard drive from Amazon. Doesn't look like it will be too hard to replace. Still a bummer, as I will have lost all of my downloads, saved game files, etc.

Sounds almost like your in love with the system, more then just a gamer love
But yeah, I like the disk slot alot better then the 360 one....also like the power button on it as well.
