Is there any way to claim even if you dont have that console anymore?
You will also have to provide at least one of the following: (1) your PS3 serial number; or (2) the PlayStation Network Sign-In ID (email address) you used to create a PlayStation account associated with your Fat PS3; (3) or the PlayStation Network Online ID (the handle you chose for communicating and game play on the PlayStation Network) associated with the PlayStation account you used with your Fat PS3.
You have 2 other options without the serial number. You don't have to have all of the information, just 1 thing out of the 3 should work...unless whoever you sold/gave it to registered it.
Nice. My launch PS3 never broke on me and didn't care about Linux but good to see people getting reimbursed for the trouble.
Did they ever do one of these for the 360 and RROD? I think Microsoft owes me at least $600. Willing to bargain for $265 if anyone gets the ball rolling.
I unboxed my 60gb model back in November when something special was released for it...
I'm still shocked that they got away with the RRoD crap for so long. I was on my 3rd console that I bought all 3 times and it died again during the time they started replacing them for "free". I lied and said mine had the 3 rings when it was just 2 of them lighting up.
Meanwhile, Sony updates their firmware on consoles removing features and gets sued for it...
I bought a new one then swapped serial number stickers and used my receipt from the new to take the old one back as a return.
On one hand I could really use a free $65 but the effort to unplug my PS3 and turn it upside to get the ID off of there is a bit much.
Think buying one second hand off of ebay 7 years ago entitles me to compensation?
I'll find out. Hell I got the thing for 50, might just make a profit.
Who needs financial advice? I'm suddenly a genius

Ya, well they admitted there was a problem and sent you a coffin and repaired it for free or whatever so that makes everything okay.
It might be an OCD thing, but i don't want someone's half gutted cheeto stained refurbished console. So when my 360 broke, i bought another. Forget that the waiting period itself, upwards of a month was a hassle.
