It really sucks that your PS3 is broken. So now you are looking for a PS3 fix. Well the most obvious one is to send your console to Sony. But how much does the PS3 repair cost if you send it to Sony?

If you were to send your console to Sony, you would be charged around $150, unless your PS3 is under warranty. That’s quite steep; especially considering the cost of a new slim is around $300! There are some other disadvantages to sending your console to Sony such as having to wait up to 6 weeks to get your console returned and when you eventually get it back you’ll find that Sony has wiped the hard drive… there goes all your game saves, music, videos etc. There are some advantages to sending your console to Sony:

• The creator will be repairing your console so they should be able to solve the problem
• You get a 3 month warranty on the console after repairs

Note: If your PS3 is still under warranty, I would recommend that you send your console to Sony. If you open your PS3 you will void your warranty
