With that said, I need something now, and it needs to be in line with the model I have - hardware emulation, slots for memory sticks, memory duo, 4 USB slots, etc. I hate blowing $150 on PS3 repairs, especially if a new system is out fairly soon.

My 60 GB is noisy when upscaling DVDs. And some Netflix DVDs skip or won't play certain sections. The later models are apparently better with DVD playback. I do have a couple of PS2 games around but I've only tried the PS2 games a few times at most. There is suppose to be a PS3 Slim which is expected around the Fall. It could be tempting, as long as it plays all the PS3 games and runs quieter on DVD playback. But I wouldn't mind if they came out with newer consoles sooner than later. PS3 is going to be no cheaper than $300 in the next year or so. Might as well apply that sum towards a newer design. Speculation is starting to ramp up. By the end of next year, there should be more concrete ideas about what's coming. That’s good that they will service it under warranty.
