PS3 just got YLOD

well guys I guess it's beyond reviving now.

After all those auto shut downs.. my ps3 has finally got YLOD..

Do you guys think I should just get slim now? do you guys notice any improvements that slim has over the old models?

For those who have Uncharted 2.. does it run smoother and not as loud on the slim?

If I activate my account on the new console, will my mp stats be recovered?

sorry about your ps3 dying..damn we're getting alot lately.Arctic_Grillz

that's what i'm saying. my ps3 dies a week ago.

My fat ps3 ran pretty loud, and my slim hasn't made any loud noices...yet

I'd just say get a slim, i just got mine about a week ago and it runs really smooth. I think or i'm hoping Sony made inprovments to the Slim. Time will tell.

My 60GB YLOD a couple of weeks ago. I went ahead and bought the 250GB slim (it is dead silent which is nice). Other than losing my save games, the most disappointing thing about it was that I made the mistake of buying a few movies off the PSN video store. I thought I'd be able to download them again (needless to say I will not be buying videos from PSN anymore).

At some point I will fix my YLOD using the heat gun method just to get a few saves off of the old 60.

Sorry it happened to you, too. I got almost 3 years out of mine.

oh and one more question.. this is probably a long shot.. but say I take out the old hard drive and place it in an external case, will I be able set it to recovery mode, even though I didn't run the backup process?TIGERLUCK

Well i always thought the YLOD on a Playstation was a hard drive failure??

That's its way of saying Happy New Year! :?

^^^ after initial DOA replacement, one DVD drive fix and one RROD on my 360, i've had it since aussie launch which is now going on almost 4 years (i think it'll be 4 years this march if i am right?or am i one year to many?)

damn. that means you gotta get a slim
