Buying a YLOD PS3?

I was thinking a about buying a YLOD PS3, but I came on here and read that fixing one was just a temporarily fix. Is that true?

Why would you buy a PS3 with YLOD? You should just buy it brand new and save all the hassle of fixing it and getting YLOD again, or If your low on cash maybe a refurbished one from Sony or a game store what comes with warranty.

Yup the heatgun fix is only temporary, could last for a few weeks up to a few months but it will most likely YLOD again.

Do yourself a favor and save up for a $299 slim. You get what you pay for, and the initial asking price is fair :lol:

Don't unless you have talent in fixing a complicated circuit board. Better spend your time to look for good new PS3 deal than fixing YLOD. Buy it new, save yourself from headache and disappointment.
