  1. I was intending to save the update for tomorrow. After some research I decided the best option was to send it in and pay the $150. Most of that money has to spent on shipping. Things will likely be tight by the last week of the month. You're suppose to get either the same exact unit or the same model. Looking at the dates of tracking information. I think they are sending a new one. No one called or emailed me to tell me what the issue was. I think I will ask them after I get it. I took pictures of old unit before sending it in. As proof I didn't tamper with it and to show there no scratches. I don't want Sony to send me a scratched up refurbished one. I lost all saved information so I will have to replay some games and re-download stuff again. My PS3 arrived in town last night but looks like UPS won't moving it till the expected ETA of tomorrow. I work tommorrow.
  2. Klan is just another fan service character in a Macross series that is all about fan service.
  3. 60 Gig Backwards compatible type. I'm almost positive it is the fan. I didn't special air cooler attached to it. Haven't used can air. I don't see any dust build up. Double checked with a flash light. I did use a vacuum over the vents. Warranty has past but here's the Service catch. Even if your warranty has passed they can decide to refuse service if you tamper with the stickers. The old you must have open it up and did something to it so your on your own excuse.
  4. Every thing is update. Checked so last night. I'm thinking it might be the fan or something. System stays on for about 5 minutes top before getting to hot. I don't hear the fan at all this time. I'll need to research things in the next couple days before contacting the service centers.
  5. God it doesn't end. Read a few forum posts and PS own help pages. Sounds like a send for serving issue. Bad news mine is a few months past warranty. For them to service it I'd have to pay a flat charge of $150 that covers, shipping, repairs or replacement if they can't repair it. Do I even have $150? Do to the economy everyone at work is working less. The money I have left over after bills from my pay check was $100. I have enough money in checking and saving to cover $150 or even a new PS3 but that is suppose to be emergency money. I have new Xmas games and movies. Now I might have to wait two months before I can use them.
  6. Help Needed ASAP During the last 1 hour my PS3 isn't working. I turn it on and get this message that the system is too hot. Here's how I used the system today. 1. Played MSG online for 2 hours straight followed by 1/2 an hour on the web browser. I have used it for long periods before and it has never over heated. 2. Moved the system from under the entertainment cabinet to more easy to reach location with more room for air. I didn't bump or drop the PS3. Planning on taking it to a different location today. 3. After a hour of the system being off popped in the Serenity Blu-Ray two minutes later got a warning that the System was too hot let it rest. Did that for 10 minutes tried a game disc same issue. Waited 30 minutes tried to clear away vents. Turned it on again. Placed in no disc just scrolling around the games and movie clip that are already on it. A couple minute later same thing. Additonal Information: Doesn't feel hot or even warm. PS3 went from an Off position (currently in a cold room) to HOT after a couple of minutes. I think I here regular noises from the machine. I don't hear the fan going in over drive or anything like that. Do I hear the fan? Not sure mine is rarely that loud.
  7. There are reports of problems with the Serenity Blu-Ray being played on the PS3. Lucky me I got my copy in the mail and have a PS3. The following issues have been reported: An extra feature called the Alliance Data Base won't play and the movie will freeze at about the 1:13 minute mark. Haven't watched the movie but I watched the extras. The Alliance Data Base would not play. I followed a solution people posted on other forums. Delete the saved data on your PS3 for the disc. Put it back in and don't update for Blu-Ray live when prompt. Yes you either get to see the data base or Blu-Ray not both. I'll still need to see if it freezes during play.
  8. Speaking of Predator check out Dutch http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=273&itemid=13822
  9. I think Carl Maceked loved it. The South Park pardoy was good.
  10. I bought the Quantum of Solace Game it sucks. Played the Lord of the Ring Conquest demo. Pretty fun too me.
  11. I think few people used them.
  12. Maybe Grand Admiral would like to explain to the rest of you why he is Reporting a Post claiming a Personal Attack against him in this thread when from all appearances he is equally involved in this sort of debating. Yes when people Report a Post we read the Post in Question and review posts leading up and following it.
  13. When you play the disc things move pretty fast on the screen. With all the action you're not gonna notice it.
  14. AEGIS Before you die, there is something you should know about us. ROY What? AEGIS I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former room-mate. ROY What's that make us? AEGIS Absolutely nothing. Which is what you are about to become. Prepare to die.
  15. Distribution is convoluted mess. Waves are skipped in some areas. Some arrive in some areas two months after they do everywhere else. A state in the middle of know where will get them a month before everyone else. States along both coast will get things last. You'll find people complaining about never finding a certain hfigure and someone else saying the same figure is clogging the pegs in theirs.
  16. Names are reused in Macross. Maybe Aegis is my long lost son. Maybe Aegis is my clone. Maybe he is someone else's clone but my surname sounded cooler.
  17. That settles it! Where is Skullone? We need to bring him back! Release the Kraken!
  18. Sounds like a simple case of "if you want to sell our product don't sell there's." BBTS just decided they rather have Toynami as supplier than Yamato. If you want to voice your displeasure don't buy from BBTS. Canceal your standing orders with them. All your orders not just Toynami ones. Let them know why you cancealing all your orders. Money talks if you refuse to use BBTS they act.
  19. Only if they aren't occupied.
  20. I thought the purpose of HOME was another way to advertise PlayStation Products. You enter HOME walk around the town square with nothing else to do but Dance or watch the Game Tailers.
  21. Modern Cartoonish Character Designs = Pass Mecha Design with Sneakers Playing Basketball = Pass
  22. Well my notebook/lap top whatever is the proper name LCD screen is showing pressure spots or dead pixels along the sides. Owned it for about 2-3 years. Spots are along the screen's border with one side having a lot of them. Only notice them if your looking at the screen's borders. Got me somewhat concerned with how much life my screen's got left. 2-3 years old is still new to me. I figured I replace my notebook after 5 years of use. Notebooks are cheaper now but if get something new I want it too be really good. With the economy the way it is my budget is limited. I don't want buy something I don't want nor have to make monthly payments. I don't want to put aside other things on my to buy list to buy something I already have. I did a bit of research. Doing your own replacement screen doesn't seem like a too difficult of a repair. Problem is finding one. They aren't listed on your big box electronic store sites. Random google shopping brings up some results but I'm wary of sending money to "Discount Larry's Laptops" anyone know of some legitimate parts stores?
  23. Glad people liked it. I did the drawing and BoB did colors and fine tuning. Thanks for saving a copy. I lost mine years ago.
  24. Yes but they tend to look like crap.
  25. Yeah you need the HDMI to get the proper picture. I paid about $25 for mine at the time the PS3 was $60.
