Okay, my PS3's out of Warranty, and their website won't register my PS3's serial number, so I can't get repairs from Sony. Does anybody know of any other good place to get a PS3 repaired?

Agreed.

Well, I remembered phones still exist and called up Sony. I may be able to send it in to them but I'm gonna wait until after the holidays. Meanwhile does anybody know anything about:

Endless Electronics
FixMyPlaystation
Playstation3Shop.com
Gophermods

I'll be emailing all of these guys, since they're all cheaper than Sony and might be able to fix my current system instead of giving me a different one like Sony said they'd probably do.

Make sure you remember to back up all of your save data.

Luckily I already did before it decided to never turn on again.

ive been playing with the ICO/Shadow of the Colossus Collection. Ico was meh, Shadow of the Colossus is great but camera sucks like real bad and the horse riding is stressful.

Used PS3 games are getting real cheap lately. I never figured how long it has been since I bought a PS3 game at retail price. I guess it was Dragon's Dogma the last one.

Heck, I've been buying new games at cheap prices (though they're usually a bit older) like Ratchet and Clank A Crack in Time for $15.

This.

I have only had my PS3 for a little over a year and have got some great deals on greatest hits and GOTY edition games. I just finished A Crack In Time today and paid about the same price and loved it.

How is it stressful? I don't even know what you mean by that.

Sometimes it can get tricky to control for me, mostly when using the bow and arrow while riding Agro or trying to jump off him to get on one of the colossi's wings. It's even more stressful when playing the PS2 version, darn frame drops.

Endless Electronics and FixMyPlaystation are the same place, manned by the same guy, but with two different price points for the same work. I don't trust a company that pulls that kinda crap. Guess that just leaves Playstation3Shop.com and Gophermods. Leaning a bit towards the latter, since I think PS3Shop faked their 100+, 100% 5-star reviews...

@CanisWolfred
I'd stick with Gophermods, myself. I haven't even heard of the other guys. When you send your system in I'd think about getting signature confirmation so you can make sure when your system arrived and who received it (unless their delivery address is a P.O box).

Played a demo of PS All Stars at a store yesterday, both on PS3 and Vita. I vastly preferred the former, but they were both pretty awesome.

Ni No Kuni looks amazing.

Sorry for the double post but finally played Journey and it was awesome.

I will be honest I wasn't really in to it at first but once I ran in to someone else and we started playing together that did it for me. I ended up playing the whole game with him or her and it was a great experience.

Playstation All Stars is $40 for the PS3/vita combo on PSN, so I grabbed that instead of the retail disc for $60.

Are you serious? I might just have to go the download route then.

Yep, it's about 5.4 gb for the PS3 game and 1.7 gb for the vita one. I didn't bother downloading the Vita one though it's on my download account now

You mentioned Journey, double post justified.

And Resident Evil 6 is amazing. Improves so much upon 5. People said that Leon's campaign was the worst, but I'd say Chris' would be down at the bottom.

Ada as singleplayer is good fun too.

And Mercinaries... my god it's addicting.

Thank goodness it isn't just me - I despise the new design of the PSN store! So much so, that I hardly even check the weekly downloads any more.
