I've had my PS3 since December 27 2007, Over the duration of months until December 21 2008 my PS3 dies again for the FOURTH time. it's an 80GB Motorstorm ps3 heres the errors:

1. Got Corrupted accidently turned PS3 off while saving

2. Disk Drive Error ( PS3 doesn't read disks)

3. YLOD

4. Bricked. Has no power in it anymore just suddenly died.

I take extremely good care of my PS3 I leave it in 1 spot, turn it off when i'm not using it, wipe it with a cloth when dusty, protect it from the sun.

I even have a piece of wood under it so it wouldn't damage the carpet.

What I'm I doing wrong It keeps dying any tips you have for my PS3 when I get it back from Sony? Will I get the same one or a refurbished model?

Thanks for your help!

Creepy story. Oh, and how many 60 gigs are being taken in by the sudden surge of PS3 deaths? If there are barely any, I'm happy. :)

Ask sony. I would say keep it off the carpet and put it in a entertainment center. If its close to the floor its easier to attract dust. Hopefully your not just trolling though.

Some people are just not meant to be parents? :P

Anyway, sorry to hear about it. My 60GB I bought in January is still running like a champ.

1 - make sure its in a open area (not in a entertainment shelf that has openings only in the back and front).
2 - set it to where a lot of air can get to and around it. (keep it in areas to where it can breathe)
3 - make sure the temp in the house isnt too warm.
4 - the piece of wood could be warming up causing more heat.
5 - dont just dust the PS3, dust areas and might as well the whole room while your at it.
6 - try not to constantly play games or watch movies on it.

Lol only the one and five seems realistic. 3 just sounds hilarious. "Sorry family we hafta freeze tonight cuz i wanna play the ps3". Room temp is good. I dont agree with 6 for my own personal reasons. I say its something to be played alot. Got mine since launch and its still going. I do however turn it off for awhile when the fans kick on and is loud. Thats telling me its working harder then it was.
