Damn it Sony!!

so im super pissed off. my first released launch 60gb playstation 3 died on me today, yes the original $600 one. it got the stupid flashing red light, so its useless. its like 4 years old so im out of warranty, sony wants $150+ and 4-6 weeks just to repair it, and then only a 3 month warranty on their work. i might as well buy one of the new consoles for $299. great money wasted. what the hell is up with these new consoles...the microsoft xbox 360 r really crappy and now the ps3. i miss the old shit that lasted forever like ps2, sega genesis, nintendo's etc... o well.
