Members MattACaster Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 WTF... I thought these things were supposed to be bullet proof!!!! Turned it on the other night and got the blinking red light of death. The damn thing was a month out of warranty too. Luckily, the g/f was in a {censored} mood that night and called up Sony and bitched until they said they'd fix it for free. Then I ran out and bought a XBox360. But fail to Xbox for not having a optical out for audio like the PS3 does. Now I need to get a new 5.1 receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to look again. I didn't see anything other than an HDMI cable. And I do use HDMI and still need optical. HDMI goes into the TV and optical goes into the 5.1. 5.1 is old enough to not have HDMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's not the hard drive that went bad. I'd hate to have to play all those games again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need to mod the cable though, as apparently it's a tight fit on some systems for the HDMI and the plastic can be removed.Oh, and couldn't you go HDMI to your TV and than optical from the TV into your receiver?

What about the downloaded games?Do those get saved to your account info and are redownloadble at any time or do you get {censored}ed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
