I have to send it back. I knew it!!! I turned this sucker on, and it gave me that error and i called sony and this chick told me that it only means "that there isnt any internet connection". Bullcrap, google that code on the net. It means the modem/wifi is broke.

So, after a while i callled sony up again and talked to someone else and let him do his "trouble shooting" blah blah... in the end, i am going to have to wait 3 weeks for another refurbished unit. :x

Well at least i have my PSP.....

That was a serious slip up. Obvious a unit that was never repaired. A refurbished PS3 from the Sony Service Center comes with a new shell. Did you at least get the game back?

Good that they returned the game. Hopefully the next PS3 you receive has the service repair, indicated by a shiny new shell installed wrapped in protective paper. You should get a new tracking number, be sure to enter that on the document to send back with the second bad PS3. Strange that it happened, probably a screw up in the shipping department. Good luck.
