My 60GB PS3 got the Yellow Light of Death

It happend around 7.30pm "This is not happening, this is not happening.."- Sora KH2

My 60GBPS3 has stopped working and has the yellow light of death.

I was busy playing Valkyria Chronicles and my PS3 just switch off by itslef I thought it was a power-cut but nope I was wrong. It was in fact

Yellow Light of Death plus also my copy of Valkyria Chronicles is stuck in there too.

I'm going to phone SONY tomorrow to see if I can get this console repaired, but if not odds are I'll lose half of my game saves and get a new console. But luckly I've transfered some of them on my PSP memory stick with titles like-

• Folklore
• LittleBigPlanet
• Metal Gear Solid 4
• Disgaea 3
• Resistance Fall of Man
• Devil May Cry 4
• Possibly Killzone 2

But ods are I might lose some of my saves like-

• Valkyria Chronicles (Which I'm currently playing )
• Resident Evil 5
• Harry Potter Half Blood Prince
• Eternal Sonata

Most PS2 saves are still on my PS2 memory cards and memory sticks (Such as FF12 AND 10, KH series, Okami, and DMC 3 ). Luckly I've havn't lost my Silent Hill 4 save which I've still havn't finished yet.

Feel bad my ps3 60gb broke but not YLD my BR drive is broken

so are you gonna get the PS3 80 or wait to see if the slim is true not the one that was leaked

Thats funny I made a similar thread about my 60gb breaking this morning. But I did manage to back up my data a week before

I've had my PS3 for around 2 years now at least.

None wants a slim anyway...I'm probably get one eventually though :P

Nope, if you send them a 60gb ps3 they'll send you a refurbished 60gb back.

If you send it to Sony for repairs, will they fix your PS2 BC PS3 or will they just send you a random one that's not PS2 compatible?azzezino

Metal Gear Solid 4- Guns of the patriots broke my ps3, played for 20 min then ate, came back and it didn't work... I'm heartbroken lol

To get that disc out try truning off the main power switch....1. Hold down the Disk Eject and flip the main power switch. This might eject your game.

To let you know I just Mailed in my 60GB on 10/20, and I't made it to sony and I'm currently tracking UPS and I will receive my New/Refurb PS3 on the 28. Fast service but if you diddn't extend your warranty than it's 160 bucks...which aint bad.

I've heard that the YLOD doesnt only have to do with the GPU getting out of place, but it is slightly possible that the HDD is ruined. But I'm not sure about that.

Alright, thanks for correcting me :).

My condolences. I lost my Eternal Sonata save when I was at the very end.

it'll probably never happen. 2 years before getting a ylod is good for a hi tech device these days.
