PS3 Repairers - any recommendations?

[dunganick]

So my PS3 has some sort of Bluray issue with games, seems to be heat related.

Basically i don't fancy paying £130 for a refurb unit from Sony (my console is about 2 years old). I have seen a few companies around on the net who do PS3 repairs, sent a few request for a price - heard nothing. So does anyone have a recommendation for a good company?

And i thought Xbox's were meant to be the unreliable consoles.....

My mate got a new one for free! Have you been into a Sony centre?

Nope, i've given Sony a ring, their offer was to sell me a refurb unit. Frankly at £130 i may as well pay £110 more and get a slimmer unit without this known issue and a HD 2x the size. But i would rather not spend that much, given the product is only just over 2 years old.

It was bought at Currys, so i doubt a Sony centre would be very interested, they are just a chain that sells sony products are they not?

Drop it and get a new one on the household insurance
