How much does it cost for Sony to repair a PS3?

PStriple3 said: So basically it costs $315 for any type of repair?

wutang01 said: Hey longarms, how much extra did you pay Harvey Norman for the extended warranty?

longarms said: I paid $99 for it, looks like it paid for it self

Plus I bought my PS3 on 18 months free so an extra $99 didn’t really make my repayments all that much bigger so I thought why not.

If not, is there any other places in Australia/Melbourne that would be able to repair any problems? (I'm not having any problems, just trying to know the info before any arise )

Sony Australia will not touch a non-Australian PS3 console.
Will have to find a 3rd party fixer.
And like you, I'm trying to find a PS3 fixer in Brisbane. Just in case ...

How much does it cost for Sony to repair a 40gb PS3 console? Does it depend on how much damage was done. Lets just say it got a corrupt hard drive from the power going out while a new firmware was installing, how much would it cost to repair that?

Thanks!

PStriple3 said: Ahhh yes that is a good idea, just buying a new hard drive. So that is one way to fix your PS3 if the power goes out while installing new firmware, just buy a new hard drive.
