Spare Any Change

First PS3 £400
Replacement PS3 £150
Total £550

Both systems broke just outside warranty. I think I deserve a discout off a new model. Sony thinks otherwise. All they will offer me is another recon 60Gb (the models that broke in the first place). The reason I want a NEW system is they're more reliable. The support department will offer me a recon and no more. No discount, no repair, no help. So now I'm left with forking out for a 3rd party repair and a new system. Thanks for the help.
