Last night I put it on top of some unstable boxes, clever me, and well.. it fell.
It fell about 4 feet.

It didn't break open or anything it just got some scratches, but now when I play a game it freezes after 15 to 20 minutes.

And now I don't know if Circuit City will exchange my broken one with another.
I have the receipt but on the back of it it says

"return guarantee
If you're not completely satisfied with a product, Circuit City will gladly exchange or refund your purchase within 30 days of the sale date"

Its been past 30 days..
Not only that but it doesn't say anything about broken products, could I exchange them or not? help!

It really depends on how long its been since the 30 days. They might let you off the hook if its been like 2 weeks or so, depending on the guy, but they might be strick on their policy so you might get screwed over. But it never hurt to try

Well I bought it on 11/25/07, so its almost been 2 months. Hopefully I'll get a dumb clerk.


And umm, about the taking it back to Sony thing... there kind of far away.

Call it in and see if you can mail it...

I did find something interesting about that IGN article.

Sony's Lineup Dominates This Year's Holiday Season
Nintendo has already released a Mario, Metroid and Zelda title for the system, and Smash Bros. will be out relatively soon, leaving its must-have library as old news. Microsoft has a strong lineup, but most of those games are cross-platform. Sony, on the other hand, will have a bevy of killer exclusives hit the system throughout the year, and especially around the holidays.

Resistance 2 is already scheduled for the end of the year, and we expect Killzone 2 to release around the same time. We also expect to hear that Infamous, SOCOM: Confrontation and, hopefully, Gran Turismo 5 will launch around the same time as well. But we don't expect that to be the end: Sony will pull out all the stops and get MotorStorm 2 and God of War III out the door before 2008 is over as well, at least in demo form. And remember, we don't even know about the E3 announcements yet...


PlayStation Packaging or Price Changes
Word recently came out that Sony has cut the production cost of the PlayStation 3 in half, thereby giving it much more leeway for another price drop. Given that there's still a lot of gain to be made in the console race, it will eventually need to make a change to how the system is sold, via either a lower price or some sort of killer pack-in deal. The MotorStorm pack-in worked well, but it was only in the most expensive package. But including both MotorStorm and Resistance in the cheapest package will make it a killer value for gamers while also introducing them to two of Sony's newest franchises, setting them up for purchasing the sequels when the arrive. So expect either a price drop or killer bundle to hit before the next shopping season begins.


I agree with most of this, obviously. This is definitely PS3's blowup year, and I don't see them staying in third place for much longer. At worst, it will be neck and neck with 360.

Yes, but you are forgetting the 360 line up as well.. PS3 isn't the only one with a good lineup this year..

[Twilight93]

IMO its not as good as the PS3's. The only titles that people might acually go buy are Splinter Cell and Ninja Gaiden. Halo Wars will probably be great but some people might neglect it because its not the shooter they know and love, instead an RTS. Then again, because its Halo, then people will defintely give it a chance and some people might get confused and think its a Shooter and buy it. Lost Odesey looks good but its not a franchise or anything, so it might get overlooked. Don't get me wrong, I'm not flaming or putting down the 360 line-up, I just feel that for right now the PS3 seems to be stronger with exclusives. But like IGN said, we got a whole year to go.

The PS3 may have a strong 08 line-up but i doubt it is going to catch up to 360, WII, DS, PS2, or PSP. And in-case your wondering PS2 and PSP do provide competition for the PS3.

No PS2 and PSP dont provide competition for the PS3. There made by the same company so if PS2 is selling or even PSP sony is still gettin the money. Competition you usually lose money or lose something

Yes, you need to buy a PSP Memory Stick, you can find them for about $50

There are cheaper cards than the $50 2.0 GB sticks.

1.0 GB is about $30, plus there are 256MB and 512MB sticks as well.

I have a 256 stick. Enough for a TON of saves plus a few CDs of music. :3

[Dark Essence]

They already come with memory sticks..
