If only they had made it a thrash metal musical, I might not be so bothered.

Right, there's a little known law that says if something breaks and you think it's broken too early then you have the right to a new one from the manufacturers. And I would say that just over a year is not long enough for a PS3 to breakdown. Can't remember where I read that but I think it was a newspaper piece on iPods. It was all about why warranties are pointless. And now that I've teased you with that information, I shall wait for you to search the net in vain and come back at me with some lyrical rage.

That's a shead load of bad luck. I'm sure Sony made a deal with a Play Doh company to manufacture their screws, a very similar thing happened to me when I changed my HDD. Fortunately my girlfriend had a metal nail-file which I used to re-shape the screw heads with, then removed them with pliers! And yes, I used the same ones when I put it back in! I won't be changing HDDs anytime soon. Yeah, I hear you buddy. That’s a shead load of bad luck.

I'm at school and I can not access most sites to find the exact name for it. Also, as long as you have the original 60GB or that 500GB with the saved games on it you can decrypt the data and get those saved games again. I am almost positive.
