Ps3 repair shop?

Hi guys, ps3 just got the yellow light of death and was wondering if there is a repair shop in Toronto that woudl fix it? Because i would prefer that rather than paying 200$ to get it fixed from sony. Damn =/ this is the second time that it has happened to me.

you can get it fixed for free if your willing to be patient. Use email and nothing else and keep making your case for a free repair (especially considering that its the second time). When you reach the highest manager or rep, they will most likely still say no, and at this point forward all those emails and series of exchanges to your local newspapers customer affairs/issues column/editorial. In my case i sent it to the star and managed to get my ps3 repair charge waived.

Can you tell us how you setup the PS3? Is there any air ventilation?

ya sure, its sitting in an open space with plent of room to breathe. I have no idea why it happened the second time. This is really dumb, and i have to give over 200$ =/ heck man with another 100 i could buy a slim but the point is that they should fix it for free if it hapens to u twice. Anyway ill try what you guys recomended and try to give some bad press to sony =/
