Did you try taking out your HDD and putting it in again?

That's what people say is the cause of YLOD. It's a HDD misread/failure.

If you've got Hillelslovak on your friends list, you should ask him.

I think he's in Canada too, and he had his PS3 fail a while back.

I'm almost in shock right now... my 60gig PS3 from launch just got the YLOD.. I just started playing Skate 2... the game is still inside the console.. is there anythign i can do to try and revive the console or at least get the disc out?americahellyeah

Man...I'm so sorry. Say goodbye to your BC. I have a 60gb as well. God I hope it doesn't yellow light on me.

[QUOTE="Ultrabeatdown55"][QUOTE="americahellyeah"]Man I am sorry for your loss. Did you get a warranty?americahellyeah

Make a phone call, dude..... works every time.Dogswithguns

i dont know. ...look up up your PS3 box.

I think they may be able to fix it and send it back to you or possibly a refurbished 60 gig. If you go through sony I would be very specific about wanting the same console back. They can do it if they want to. Sorry for your bad luck. Hopefully your saga will have a happy ending. I have a 60 gig also and I always have that fear in the back of my mind that this will happen to me too.

i totally agree with you... im almost too scared to turn on my PS3 now... god.....

I posted the same thing about 2 weeks ago. I was so pissed.

I had a 60 gig for 3 years and 1 month.

You got to call Sony, they will send you an email to fill out

then you got to play 150-165 american dollars so they can send you a box

Wait a week for the box from ups, pack up the box, fill out a paper, drop it off at a ups store and just wait.

I sent mine back yesterday with a game inside.

First console I ever had go out on me.

Sucks right

Um yea you're wrong. You contact sony and you do it on teh computer and then you pay $161 US dollars and they send you a pre-paid box to ship it in. It takes about a total of a week and a half to get your box then ship it off and get it back. They only had mine for 2 days once they received it.

[QUOTE="hazelnutman"]Wait, I think I read somewhere that Sony has a bunch of stocked 60GB PS3s in cases where they need to replace broken ones of the same model. Don't quote me on it, but it's not absolutely hopeless in getting back a 60 GB, or at least getting back a backwards compatible one. But damn, good luck buddy :( You're one of the last people on here to deserve this kind of divine retribution.americahellyeah

:lol: Are you going to cry?

Damn that stinks I'm sorry to hear that and i'm a little more worried now. I also have a 60gig and just started to play SKATE2. I hope my days are not number but hearing things like this from reputable sources make me get that sinking feeling. I just recently moved into a apartment and funds are really tight so if mine crapped out my last source on entertainment would be lost. I hope everything works out for you and I hope to see you online soon maybe play a few games of skate.2beers_in_hand

[QUOTE="CanadianCR"]

[QUOTE="americahellyeah"] I've heard that as well.. i really hope its true... i payed 1000 dollars for my PS3 at launch... mainly because i wanted the backwards compatibility... luckily i still have a semi-working chunky PS2 and a dozen AAA RPGs i haven't started on PS2 (i really hope they work...) With all the 60 gigs seemingly dying out i'm starting to think that it was sony's complete fault.. like the firmware they'd been releasing somehow didn't work well with the 90nm chips in the older console so it was too taxing on them or something... I'm gonna call them tomorrow (i found the number) and get a coffin... (err.. box) sent out... Hopefully my brand new copy of skate 2 can still be saved... Thanks to all for your condolences... I don't know what i'm gonna do about all the thousands of hours of gameplay i hadn't backed up.... its like 2 years of my life has been lost... americahellyeah

:lol: Are you going to cry?

Thanks american .. you now made me feel like an ass for typing that ..

Well I hope all works out for ya .. and I hope over in Ontario we don't get to -40C .. we've been close with wind chills but that's about it ..

OH NO another PS3 user yellow lighted

I blame the Xbox users

Sorry for your loss dude

Hey americanhellyeah I am almost positive you will get a 60gb back, cause both of my refurbished units were 60gb models like my launch 60gb..

P.S. Sorry for your loss my condolences are with you and your family :P
