Playstation 3 Warranty Info Question HELP!!!

Please help me. My hard disk went out today. Sad moment. Well, I did the online service, and I have a question, will I pay for shipping or will they. I bought the Playstation on March 25, 2008, they said they will send an email, but I do not know when, and was hoping some F-chat people might help me much faster.

Again, thank you in advance, anyone else having this problem either with a 40 GB PS3, let me know and we will get in touch with Sony about this problem, which I bet is only me.

 

I don't know for sure but most of the time you will pay for shipping.

 

Actually, SCEA will be sending me a pre-paid shipping box.

Just got an email from them, I was expecting a while for them to send the email.
Hopefully I get upgraded to the 80 GB base.
Thanks anyways Neil!

 

Nice. Best of luck with the "new" unit.

 

Is there any way to back up the HD? This has been my concern since I got mine.

 

Yes, you go to Settings -> System Settings, and Backup Hard disk. Thats about it.
