How to Get a PlayStation System Serviced March 20, 2015

I know that after the horrible failure rate of Xbox 360 systems during the last console generation, many gamers believed that in comparison, their Sony consoles would last forever. Well, Playstation systems break too. It’s just a fact of life. I’ve had a brand new PS4 break on me in less than a week after I purchased it, and from the looks of it I’m going to need to send my own PS3 in for service soon.

But what is a gamer to do when their Sony console fails on them?  The PS systems hardly use off the shelf parts, except for the hard drive, and any attempt to fix a Playstation on your own without Sony’s permission will void your warranty. 

Thankfully Sony has updated their Official YouTube Channel with some important information on what to do if you’re having trouble with your Sony console. If you live in the US or Canada, you should give this a watch.
