sucks to hear
lol good luck on the return.... i use to do somethin like that at kb toys with video games. i would buy them, save the receipt, carefully unwrap the game, take the game out and replace it with something of similar weight, re wrap it with the same factory wrap and a tad of super glue and return the box and get my money back ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

The serial number is on the unit, box and receipt. Trust me, they will remove the unit from the box and make sure its the right one. I remember the PS2 had a hole in the box and you could see the number on the machine without opening it. I myself and several of my friends all have launch day PS3's and no failures on any of them yet.
On the bright side you have a PS3, if you had an Xbox 360 you'd be on your 167th one waiting for # 168 to show up.

I am pretty sure they will take it back. Just give a lil attitude when you go in there. I did that with a 360 a while back. Plus most of the pimple faced youngstas there dont care. Just dont get a old lady or grey haired man. They are Walmart lifers and will sell their first born for Walmart.

Every time I go to the returns area I get the old people, they do that on purpose. While they do let some stuff slide getting a $400 game system returned is going to be tough if there is anything in question.

Go to costco. Costco just has a SKU of the item but not the SKU of the system. Buy a new system at Costco, keep it for a few days, and return your old one. They will check the unit though, but they wont match a serial of the unit.
edit: make sure to clean you old system and make it look brand new. haha..

going to an 80 is not an upgrade from the 60.yes it has a bigger hdd but the 60 is the best system made

well this cockroach went out 5 minutes after one ps3 broke to go buy another one at a 24 hour wal mart. Can't be without my ps3. i was more upset that my COD4 game got stuck and wouldnt eject!!

try using the power cord from your new ps3 and use it on your old ps3.i have a buddy that mods and repairs video games and he said thats a power supply issue.

That is sometimes a viable fix when it comes to 360. Not sure about ps3 tho, First time I heard that one.

We should take a survey and tally up the broken ps3 vs 360 just to try to end the battle of the systems.
My.02 is they both have their pros and cons but as far as being more reliable I have to side with ps3
