Yep, my old fatty apparently didn't like blops2. After loading a multiplayer map it crashed, turned off on its own,beeped a few times, and the red light just kept blinking. I figured it was on its last leg a while back when i noticed the fan making louder than normal sounds and tried dusting/cleaning... but it never really got better.

I realize this has happened to a few of you before and just wanted to poll the board on what's the best option on getting another one and what was your experiences: Send back to Sony? Or try a repair shop? Buy a new one?

Appreciate the input.

For the price of a new one, it isnt worth sending it in to get a refurb. If you can hold out til next week, i suggest getting one on black friday. Perfect time to get a bundle package.

Eta: Im sorry for your loss.

I just bought a new one when mine died, said screw it.

Craiglist probably has some for like 150-200, just make sure it's a slim and you're good to go.

$165 used 120GB slim on Amazon
