ps3 ylod again :(
« Reply #2220 on: December 02, 2009, 09:55:42 PM »
man I feel like Redlum and W1ntry..

My ps3 ylod'd again after 3 months.
It was a local fix mind you, not shipped to Sony.... but so depressed.
Anyone know a quick fix place for PS3's and price? i might make some calls tomorrow but any place ya'll recommend would be good.
The last fix, someone I knew at some place did it...but he doesn't work there anymore and quite busy to even do the fix.

Ideally I want to save as much data from the unit after the fix and invest in a Slim unit.
The problem is I refuse to pay local prices for a ps3... highway robbery down here.
So I have to wait til someone I knows is coming in from the US or Canada... and of all years and of so far, no one we know is coming this Christmas :( :(

I like the dark side alot lol... but eventually I'll join with ya'll.
The fix is fairly simple..but I need me some thermal compound and a heatgun.  but then I dont want to risk anything right now..
primary goal right now is to recover some save files.. namely my Assassin's Creed 2 file with 95% progress. zomg.


EDIT:
padna at G-SPot in town does fix i'll call him an get back to u apprentice

Sweet thanks.. let me know price and thing and if is anything I could probably swing up that side tomorrow or day after. (if its ok with him).

lol @ zomg 95% progress being held in the balance.

Sorry for your loss.

Why not import a slim yourself instead of waiting for family?

Its the cost of importing and paying tax and duties.
Just so much and money is very tight...but I mean I just can't wait.

I was checking out trinituner to see local deals and that guy "Raptor" is selling em for $3000 with a free game and hdmi cable.
Now if that game is my choice I can choose a game I was going to buy anyway and that would be about $500... so then I'll be paying $2500 for the system which isn't THAT bad.

Anyone know exact import price if you go through skybox and such?

Well I just imported my 360. Cheaper than local but I usually buy local for the warranty (all my other consoles were from JK)

US$299.00 PS3 = TT$1800.00

Duty and Vat: TT$500.00

Shipping to Trinidad: TT$200

Bout $2500.00 Landed

Not as cheap as aunty sneaking it in with her unmentionables but not too bad an option.

15 years of fun: Happy Birthday PlayStation

Amazingly, the Sony PlayStation is fifteen years old this week. The console that defined a generation has (almost) come of age - a fact which, aside from being a sharp reminder of how old we've all got, has many of us donning our rose-tinted nostalgia specs and remembering the fun times it's given us.

And it is in honour of those fifteen years of Sony-powered fun that TechRadar has compiled this definitive history of PlayStation home consoles through the years. The highs and lows. The favourite games that kept us awake till 5am. And what the games industry itself remembers of each era of enjoyment.

Back in 1994, the original PlayStation was widely ridiculed by gamers at its Japanese launch, mainly because it bucked the dominant tech trend for home consoles set by the likes of Nintendo and Sega in the late 1980s.

The games came on a CD (of all things!) and not on a chunky plug-in cartridge. Yet while Nintendo and Sega (and Amiga and ST) fanboys scoffed at Sony's upstart, the sales figures soon began to speak for themselves. This was a game-changer.

Ah boy...good old Playstation eh.  I still have my PS2, with the network adapter add-on and 120 GB
IDE hard-drive installed, with quite a few games on it I might add (original games, that I bought :) ).

As for my PS1, I can't even remember where that has got to.

Have to tip my hat to Sony though, for the good times.  I was one of those skeptics,
who proudly stood in Nintendo's corner, with my N64 and my copy of Goldeneye, and
scoffed at the PS1's lack of a truly great console FPS.  All that skepticism dried up quickly
when MGS was released though...and all the Street Fighter Alpha titles.  Oh yes...I was FIRST
in that new PS1 line.  :lol:

Just the other day my cousin was playing Silent Bomber on his PS2, and I was like 'waaayyyyy...
where you get that from hoss?'  It was an original game too.

One question I have to ask though?   How many of you actually bought original PS1/PS2 games?
...because you DONE KNOW Nanan was KING during that era.  :laughing7:

Haha that and the Dreamcast, old DC got it worse than the PS2 with no modchipz necessary lol. Hey I remember Silent Bomber that game was real bad.

I still remember loading up MGS and being blown away by the visuals and story.
Even when I first loaded up FF7 I was like wtf, Final Fantasy in 3D, what will they think of next.

I remember you said that you were one of the first in Trinidad to go online with your PS2, that must have been cool eh. Though from playing pc games online even before that ah sure it wasn't that amazing :p
