Default Comment on Faulty Playstation 3 Rights by Daniel

Hi,Cracking article it must be said. I bought a PS3 (40gb), just before Christmas (December 2007 time I think) from Game. During mid-late January of 2009, the console broke down suffering from the dreaded YLOD. Sony were happy to fix this for me for free, even if it was out of warranty (so nice of them).Unfortunately, this refurbished console only lasted until the 26th od October. Again, suffered YLOD (though, it seemed to have a Blue-ray drive problem too). Just to clarify, I have to contact Game (I bought it in a shop, can I email them via the "contact us" details or do I have to physically go to the shop and complain?) and NOT Sony (Already had a go at them... sadly all the knowledge of EU law and the such wasnt working)? Despite the problem being because Sony replaced my PS3? This seems a bit unfair on Game, who, have done nothing wrong. I also presume that I will need a engineers report? Im going to guess that this is when an engineer takes a look at my PS3 and reports that the problem is due to manufacturing? I mean, he/she will look at my PS3 and see it looks nice and healthy... and a system that breaks within 8 months has some sort of problem caused by manufacturing/ refurbishment! (especially if the console costs £300... should last 5-8 years as you have said)So, to conclude. I need to contact Game and use the templates above to get a free fix from them. Having said that, I would rather get Game to send the PS3 to Sony (Sorry, but I dont trust another company to fix it other than Sony)Cheers
