(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!

All this talk about YLOD is scearing me... how can i prevent it form happend? i have the realise date "fatty" as well. is it a natural death or can it be prevented from ever happening?

Trust me I speak from experience 3 days ago I could have sworn I had the best Release date Phatty ever! then Boommmmm out of nowhere that light at the end of the tunnel you never wanna see and next thing you know I'm on the phone with Sony Support! No signs, no nothing while playing MW2 on occasion it would freeze but I thought that had something to do with the game itself. It never got hot or anything I think she went in her sleep...LOL hopefully Sony can bring her back to life and I can write a song called "O'd to my Lucille" that's her name by the way!

By the way there is a tutorial on "HOW TO KEEP Y OUR PS3 ALIVE" you might want to check that out.

thanks i will check out the guide

Your welcome, I don't want anyone to go through what I went through My reaction was classic "Fist Pump looking at the sky saying NOoooooooooo" followed by "WHYYYYY MEEEEEE"

Now lets wait until the PS4 and Xbox 720 come out so they can blow up.

Just wanted to show off my new PS3! ha ha ha :y:

never use a hairdyer doesnt get hot anoff

I'ma tell you I did that hairdryer thing 3 times, In a box outside a box and wrapped it in a blanket and nothing worked! I'm beginning to think it's a myth LOL...

It works for me, hairdryer on high, i don't know why it won't work for you, but its starting to get me mad how my ps3 keeps overheating... o well, maybe ill just finally buy a 3rd one and throw this one out (taking out the hard drive of course )
