Out of warranty slim, had the micro pausing issues and they replaced it for free and got it back in a day! Just wanted to say thanks to any mods on here as there threads really helped

Really good to see some good feedback for Sony on here, kudos to you my friend.

Had some issues with one particular agent on phone but out of the 5 advisors they really helped and then made a issue sorted, my new console arrives in an hour, and I'm going to sign up to ps plus so if it happens again my saves are in the cloud

Good luck with that Dude! In the last 15 months i have had 7 or 8 replacement units from sony,some have only lasted 1 month but the latest was 3 months.Just got a brand new unit from them as i have had so many problems.So fingers crossed this one lasts the course.

I must give them credit for being so helpful though,just seems that i have been very unlucky with refurb units.

Actually I think that's with the PS3's... in general. lol PS1 and PS2 lasted years, the PS3 fats have only managed a few months, before replacements are needed, but the PS3 Slim units are proving to be a little more reliable.

I don't know why people buy refurbs. For a little bit more money, you can get a brand new Slim. They don't look as nice, but they're more reliable.

It's what I'll do when my 60gb eventually dies.

How do you know if you don't have it?  

On the subject of "Is your fat PS3 still running?", my 60gb is almost 4 years old and still going. This is my 2nd PS3, though. First one died after about 10 months.
