Sony is charging me $149 for a refurbish anyways. It's do or die, I got nothing to lose. I think spending $50 to keep my PS3 on ticking time bomb status for a while until I can pitch in $300 for a slim is MUCH MUCH better than pitching $149 to Sony to give me a refurbished console at the cost of ALL of my data and then in due time have the refurbished console YLOD on me (they usually give you a refurbished model of the same type that you sent in). Screw that, I'll willingly save up twice the amount of money it costs to refurbish it just to save all of my stuff and have it all on a slim model where the most common causes of the YLOD were addressed and fixed, so the chances of it happening to me again are SLIM. Well it probably will happen to me again for cracking a pun like that, lol.
