The YLOD rarely happens and they usually happen to the early modles. Lets hope the Slim doesnt come with problems.

You shouldnt need a seperate cooling fan, they cann in actual fact be counter productive by blocking air flow, increasing the internal temperature, not reducing it.

As far as im aware its mainly the launch consoles that are affected by over heating fault. i have an 80gb and have never had any issues with it whatsoever, had it just over a year now

the ylod is a rarity id be suprised if you got one

the rrod is 50 percent or more chance id be in shock if you never send your 360 in for its entire life span ,

plus e74 errors disc scratch i definatelly would take my chance with ps3

now the slim isnt out yet and i would wait a week or 2 before laying hands on 1 because i got a slim and been through 3 ps2 slims in less then a yr -well 2 in less then a yr i didnt replace my first until recently i got my first in 2004-early 05 when they were released it over heated

the 2nd one works but the power cord needs to be swiveled a little ,

and the 9000 series one i have stopped sending out av signals from the tv for some odd reason

the one i have now is a 7000 series silver model ,

its working much better then the 9000 and 6000 series ones i had before

DOn't forget of those 54%, 45% have had their refurb console RRoD on them too. Granted, that was a reader poll and could have been scewed in either direction. However given all the horror story about RROD and all the people I know that have gotten one(100% of xbox owners I know have had at LEAST 1 RROD). I'm gonna hafta say that 54% might not be as ffar off as a lot of people would have you believe.

New models haven't had ylod so don't worry about it. No more than buying a new phone or camera. Electronics are just faulty sometimes.

i only know of the 3 kinds of death which are the RRoD (Red Ring of Death), YLoD (Yellow Light of Death) and the RSoD (Red Screen of Death) Ive only had the RSoD, had it twice, i had to look it up online to find out what it is. The thing is my PS3 is still working, ive not had it since. The YLoD ive heard is very common with the 60gigs, maybe the very early 1's. But the RRoD, thats only for the 360 only, ive never seen a topic about the RRoD on the ps3 form. Oh i did hear of the BSoD, it was prob 2 months ago, sounded the same as the RSoD, anyway, im sure your ps3 be fine =]
