Since I used to write to you guys all the time for your infinite wisdom - I figured you could certainly enlighten me again -

I bought my PS3 60gig in October 2007 - Blu_ray drive failed today - does not read my games or movies anymore - repair cost is $149 plus tax

Sony is offering me a trade for a refurbished 120 gig PS3 for $119 plus tax - with a 90 day Limited Service Warranty

Negative is that is not backwards compatible - but I never needed it for this anyway.

The newer one is 3 years newer on the technology. What are your thoughts?

The cost seems like a no brainer but I am sort of attached to my semi-broken product. That and I have to start all my game progress from the beginning.
