Gorilla Games

I had an issue with my
PS3. It was locking up from time to time, and only on certain games (COD, Joe
Dirty2). I did a little research, and it appeared that it was on the urge of
YLOD, and was overheating. Called around, and a local game shop Gorilla Games,
said they could fix it. I took it in, gave them a deposit and waited. Five days
later I get a voice mail saying they could not fix it, that it was the
motherboard, and I could come and pick up my machine. I drove up to pick it up,
and brought it home and nothing. I got a green light, but nothing on the
screen. I thought maybe I need to reset the video. The button did not respond.
I called the store, and the lady I picked up the machine from said that she
would have the manager call me. If I had any thought for one minute, I would be
getting back a bricked machine; I would have waited for it to die and bought a
new one or sent it to Sony. The major issue I have is that I had singstar
videos on the machine that had my kids when they were young.
I still got no call after 10 hours and finally reached out
via Facebook. Long story short, I was offer $20 for the PS3 they broke. Once I threaten
to take him to take then to small claims court, they offered me back my deposit
, (which could take up to 5 days)
He is saying my machine
was YLOD, when I dropped it off, which it wasn?t.   If it
was I would have sent it to Sony and gotten a replacement box for a $100.
(which is the current rate for replacement) 
and a 1 year guarantee.  
This store charges
$90 for YLOD, and a 60 day guarantee.    I was trying to be
proactive.  Now I have a bricked system
that I am sending to Sony.
