The place I took it to was Another Castle up in Seattle WA which is a very reputable retro and modern game store. I took it to them specifically and spent more than I would have anywhere else ($80) for the repair because I wanted a reliable fix but obviously that hasn't panned out. I called them and told them it died again after ~75 days of light use. And even though they only offer a 60 day warranty in writting, they said I could bring it back in to have it fixed again. The problem is I live in San Diego now, and soon Dallas, so I am no where near them to bring it back in. I would have to pay for shipping both ways and buy an appropriate box and packing materials
Now I am debating... should I....
1) Send it back to Another Castle, pay for shipping both ways, and hopefully get a better fix. Estimated cost $60 + turn around time. Bonus:They are held responsible to spending their time fixing it again.
2) Fix it somewhere else locally in Dallas once I get there. Probably would cost me $60 but I'd save the trouble of packing and shipping. I worry places wont give me any kind of guarantee on their work since it's been "repaired" before.
3) Suck it up and let my beautiful baby go by just selling her for parts. Either buy a slim ps3 or another b/c ps3 that has never had issues. From what I read transferring data between hard drives is not possible so I am just going to have to lose all of the PSN+ games I had that can't be re-downloaded and be forced to re-download a ton of things I had paid for.
What do yall think I should do?
