(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I came down with YLOD today, here is some info that might help out those unlucky few like me that come down with it. I have a release date PS3, I called Sony and there's pretty much two options. Option A) Send in mine and pay them $149 and they send me back a 120GB Slim one turn around time is about 8 days. B) Send in mine and pay them $179 which is $149 to fix & $29 for shipping both ways and they fix mine and send it back to me turn around time is about 10 days. I don't want to loose my Release date PS3 so I will be taking option B. Today is a sadddd, saddddd day hope none of you guys go through this, good luck! :mad:

By the way to add insult to injury MW2 is stuck inside, for those of you wondering they do send you the game back.

As of today July 18th I am currently bidding on a Special Edition Gun Metal Gear solid PS3 on Ebay, will let you know how it works out.

I am now the proud owner of a GunMetal Color Special Edition PS3 just bought off of Ebay, will let you know when I receive it. I'm excited!

6 Days after I came down with "YLOD" I received my Brand New ps3 fresh off of Ebay here are pics, I bought the Gun Metal Color PS3 which was a Limited Edition MGS release through Konami!

I have a YLOD ps3 ( got a new one meanwhile)
can I still send it? lol (obviously out of warranty)

I got uncharted stuck in lol, but I managed to get it out, it randomly let me eject IDK why before it totally died

you could always fix it yourself using the "hairdryer method" as i like to call it worked twice for me

I'm out of warranty also that's why you have to pay, if it still had warranty they would repair it for free. I went straight to Best Buy today to buy one and when I got there I thought about it and didn't get it. The thing is I'm waiting for Game stop to get the new Xbox360's in stock so I could get one. So it's either end up with 2 PS3'S the fixed old one & new slim one or fix mine and end up with 1 PS3 & 1 XBOX..lol

What exactly is that method??? Cause I found a video on you tube and I did what it said to blow dry the vents in the back for 15 minutes then stick it in the freezer for a few minutes I can tell you this did not work for me, I can't even get the disk out!

If you don't have any PC hardware experience don't even think about trying it. I would go with option a but it seems you want to keep your BC PS3 so it's up to you.

I will tell you that I have a release date "fatty" also and I came down with the dreaded 3beeps. I sent them mine and they told me 8-10 days, and on the 6th day Viola! It was back. I have not had an issue with it since. Just my two cents for you.

lol i can give you awesome advice on this. i currently have 2 ylod ps3's now. when you send it back, just hope it doesnt break again. i'm buying a new one now. and selling my broken ones on craigslist.

I'm curious I forgot to ask them whats the warranty on the fixed one is it like a year or just 90 days?? anyone know??

just 90 days

I figured it was 90 hmmm lets hope it stays fixed lol
