:) Hey, yeh im getting the slim now :) and i have ylod 60gb ps3 wont fix lol

Soo basically i've been sending my original 60gb ps3 off to a company in london (not sony) for repair when i got (YLOD) several times and basicaly it went off 4 times due to constant failed of ylod and now its just keeps getting too hot as the console will shut down in under 5 minutes, the company agreed that they couldn't fix it and i've gotten a refund but as the slim is out anyway now i'm getting that which im looking forward to. So what do you people recommend i do with my old ps3 now it must have some use instead of chucking it out :)

You could take out the hard drive, buy an enclosure and make it an external hard drive.

ebay has a good market for spare parts. and i've seen bricked ps3's go for over $100.00. someone out their needs a new blu-ray eye so i'd try to sell it. any ammount you could get would beat throwing out a $600.00 investment

You could give it to me :D

hey, yes i suppose ebay would be a good option

did you have the same problems as me? i cant eject my movie. ps3 doesnt stay on longer then 5 seconds before it shuts off and blinks red again.

well obviously now im just looking to sell on the Original fat ps3 60gb fat, basicaly as you may have read i ending up selling it off 4 times they were never able to fully fix the problem so i got refund then now i turn it on the fan will raises very quickly and gets louder and louder in like 2 mins and then shuts off. so i think its the end of the line perhaps i should just sell it on ebay mikeys585

ok good luck. i was gonna send mine to get it fixed but ur story has me scared. wonder if this problem is for only 60 gig ps3s. i wouldnt mind picking up a used ps3 at the pawn shop for 160
