So my first few blog posts were about what had happened to my PS3 and the whole “They took my 60 gig and gave me a 20” thing. So we left off at me having to call Sony and ask them what’s going on and getting a call in a day or two since last time.

So what happened is last week I called the number that was left for me on my machine and it led me to the actual warehouse where they fixed my PS3. Of course by fixed, I mean confuse my 60 gig for the other phased out SKU. So after contacting them in Ontario (where the closest warehouse is) I spoke to them about the problem. They completely understood and said it’s because the have trainees in the back fixing these things. I find this fucking stupid. The PS3’s HDD probably being the ONLY thing they physically remove from the system itself would at least mean that they would pay extra attention to if they put the right drive in. I understand that people make mistakes, especially new employees but damn man. Come on…

So what ended up happening is I was told to send in my PS3 by mail again. That’s right, I was told to go to Purolator myself and send the PS3 back to them. Why couldn’t I maybe just send the hard drive? Or they send me MY hard drive back and I send them back their 20 gig back. So what did I do? I said fuck it. I ordered a 160 GB hard drive from http://tigerdirect.ca. Yeah that’s right. I got so fed up of all this bullshit with my PS3 that I just didn’t send it back. I just ordered the 160 gig hard drive that I was going to order eventually since I heard DivX was coming.

I just wanted to sit down and enjoy my PS3 you know? I wanted to just put all my music and videos on it and re-download all my PSN games and stuff without having to think about “oh shit I’m just going to end up sending this back in a few days”. It came to a point where I stopped playing games I had just bought all together just because I found it pointless because I’d have to copy my save file and put it back on a missing 60 GB hard drive that belongs to me. I don’t think I made a wrong decision here because this is purely their bad. This is completely not my fault… Faulty hardware was the problem in the first place. I just want to sit down and play some damn games without having to think that this hard drive isn’t really “mine” since it’s going to be gone in a few days.
