In august our 80gb gamestop refurb had a dust short and fried the sound and wouldn't turn back on. I sent it in and gladly paid the $150. The Sony refurb was sent out on august 25, and we installed 3.0 the day it came out. The unit got progressively more unresponsive and ran hotter and hotter as the month went by. It stopped playing bluray and games october 1. I tried 3.0.1 but it didn't help. Sony customer service is taking the unit for repair under a limited 90 day warranty from the first refurb. The age and condition of the unit tells me that it was bad to begin with or it was the firmware update. Which do you think is more likely?

Voltage has almost nothing to do with it.

I will keep all of it. It would give me a good reason to buy some of the systems I don't have yet.
