It was just a matter of how long it took. that, come hell or high water, we were getting a refund. informed us that because the serial number on the console did not match the serial number on the box, there was nothing he could do to help us.

(male, evil) came to “help” us, he immediately told me the PS3 was not returnable. She was as helpful as she could be but still had to call the GSLT (I think that is the acronym) to the front of the store to process the return. After opening the box and examining it with a member of the Electronics team, she noted that not only was the console used but the serial number did not match the serial number on the box – essentially, someone had beaten the system and we were the patsies with the POS machine. I politely informed the CSR that the PS3 was not only used but broken and we wanted an even exchange for the new machine. I called my sister who had both her receipt and the debit card she used to purchase it and we agreed to meet the next day (April 4) at our local Target which is NOT the Target she purchased it at but is closer to my house, so screw her. His new PS3 was just an expensive piece of garbage. We weren’t surprised we had received a used machine but WERE surprised that it did not work – games wouldn’t register, Blu-Rays wouldn’t play.

The next night (April 3), my excitedly retired our PS2 to the closet and set up his new toy – the packaging was PERFECT, the machine was not. My husband received a brand new PS3 for his birthday from my (very generous) sister on April 2nd. They accuse you of swapping your old broken PS3 for a new one and refuse to take the return. The store checks the serial number and finds that it doesn’t match. The scenario usually goes like this: You buy a PS3. One of the problems with buying a CID is that some people will re-sell the same CID over and over to multiple people (making it likely that you'll be banned again very soon) - so just be very careful when selecting a CID seller.4.10.08 7:50 PM EDT By Meg Marco jersey target fraud check your serial numbersĪ reader who would like to be called CrazyNJConsumer writes in with another one of those “mismatched serial number” PS3 stories. He makes it really easy by giving you the "psnpatch.cfg" file already edited with your CID and PSID. I helped a friend of mine un-ban his PS3 a few months ago by buying a CID off of eBay from this guy because he seemed really reputable - and it worked great. If you check the sidebar there is a link to a person that sells them - but his last post was in December so I'm not sure if he's still active. In order to get a new CID to un-ban your system you'll have to buy a new one off of someone else that has extracted them from another PS3 (typically a broken one that will never be used online again.) These are NOT the same thing as a serial number. No - in order to un-ban a PS3 you need a new CID (console ID) and preferably a new PSID (playstation ID).
