TFK;
I wouldn't bother taking it into PC World or anything like that because the chances are it will happen again. Instead just ring Sony, I think the number you'd need is in this thread if not then have a search because I'm pretty certain it has been posted on here and ask for an exchange. I have had a few problems with a couple of PS3 consoles; games not being recognized etc and every time they have been more than happy to do an exchange, you'll not have to exchange the wires or anything just simply the console. This way it will save you money too because it's completely free where as a retail store or computer shop or what have you will probably cost you over the odds.
