I got my PS3 back today. It was supposed to be here yesterday, but I wasn’t home to accept the package from FedEx.
Sony sent me a new machine. They did return the 500 GB hard drive that I had installed, which confirms my belief that the hard drive failure wasn’t the problem. Since the hard drive is in a new machine, I had to format it to use on that machine. All of my data is gone. Oh well. Things could’ve been worse.
I’m happy to have my PS3 back. I got in back only 7 days from the time I sent it in if you don’t count the New Year’s Eve holiday and missing FedEx yesterday. I’m glad Sony returned the game that was stuck in the machine. I can watch blu-rays again and I can play DC Universe Online when it’s released on Tuesday. I hope this one lasts a lot longer than the first one.
