Perfect timing.

I was surprised to find out that YLOD=Yellow light of death.
#4
Sorry but any ____ ____ Of Death is copywrited to MS.
#5
Any tips on fixing it?
I've heard you can take out the hard drive, format it through a computer, re-insert it and its fixed.
Not much point if all data is erased. :/
#6
I know how to fix it! Get a 360, and everybody will be happy.
#7
download the data off the ps3 to the computer then format it

And miss GT5 and FF Versus XIII? No fucking way, man.

this what you do. beat your weiner up against a brick wall (or any hard surface) for atleast 12 hours a day for 3 weeks and it'll be good as new

iFresh stfu.
Just do what Chief said.
It's obvious bc you leave the ps3 on for too much, or your room is simply too fucking hot.
After you fix it, just get the coolers for ps3.
My room is usually cool so i havent had ylod since like forever. Never had one,doubt i ever will

Yeah, I do leave it on over the night to download stuff sometimes.
I knew I should've got those coolers but they seemed like a waste of money at the time.

#16
I'm glad I didn't buy a ps3.
(:
#17
lmao Syd youre silly, Failure rate for 360 is about 3times higher xD
#18
mhmmhmhhmmhhmhh

360 = failz at red ring
#20
The fuck is YLOD
My ps3 has a yellow light that blinks but it still works nigga
#21
Martin that light is orange, thats the HDD indicator XD
#22
Damn, how do I format the HDD? I haven't got an external HDD.
And I'm sure the failure rate for the 360 is much higher than 3x the PS3.
#23
I know what to do...Send it back to Sony so they can fix it....Then open the box with fixed game system and play it...
#24
Umm, idk since i never had one, try a usb cable?
