Hate to strengthen all the PS3 lovers' claims but unfortunately my 2nd replacement came in and guess what?! It died within 10 minutes
I selected my language, my country, it asked to update, failed to connect to the internet (although the cable was plugged in fine). I cycled power, the 360 logo came up, then it switched to the Customer Service System Error screen and was flashing RED
I honestly dunno wth customer service can do for me at this point. I'm gonna get stuck in an endless cycle of shipping replacements back and forth; certainly can't get my money back unless I sell it on eBay as suggested but I can't really sell something I dunno works or not heh.
This is ridiculous
Been about 2 months for this ordeal.
