(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well, I've had 4 PS3's; Sent all 4 back to Sony for repairing (in the course of 4 years) and got Yellow Light of Death ALL four times. Each time, I've had a brand new game in it, started with one of the Fifa's, then WAW, Battlefield and Now MW3. I emailed Sony's chief executive after the second YLOD, and he said " The problem is currently being resolved, as it is an ongoing problem worldwide" Which is bullshit. Secondly, he said he would be sending me a PS3 with in the next 24 hours. He did, In fairness send me a new PS3.

However, the PS3 He sent me was from BULGARIA, the language was Bulgarian and the PS3 was second hand. I don't know If I can be bothered to go through with emailing that piece of shit again. I have an Xbox, and am more than likely just going to convert to Xbox from now on, although ALL my friends are on PS3.

What do you think I should do?

Yes 4 PS3 breaks in four years, I can see why it doesn't seem believable but I can 100% guarantee you every single one i've had has broke. Secondly, Every one came with an 18 month warranty, and all of them broke before the warranty expired (granting me a new one free of charge pretty much). I complained to Sony as the third one they sent me was actually deported from Bulgaria, Langauge on the PS3 system was Bulgarian and the sticker on the box stated it had been shipped from the Bulgarian capital. They sent me out a PS3 slim, controller & $50 PSN code.

Thats extremely unfortunate. My 1st one which i got a PS3 launch lasted me almost 5 years, 2nd one as lasted me since. Remember to clean it at least once a month. Hopefully this one should last. Smile
