RIP Fatty

My 60 gig YLOD today. I searched online, tried a few things like pulling out the hard drive, but it won't start. I'm hoping I can have it repaired and trade it in towards a slim, BC means nothing to me. Seems the slim is quiet and not producing a lot of heat, anyone heard of any malfunctions concerning it? I'll probably wait another month or so before buying just to give time for any problems to arise. Sucks cause i was going to get Uncharted 2 on launch day.

One thing I did come across while looking for answers is that Activision games are often in YLOD consoles that are sent in. I have MUA2 stuck in mine, Activision, although I hadn't played it today, I did notice that for the past few days my system would beep twice on shut down after playing the game. I only came across this once while searching, so I won't put much faith in it but it might be something to keep in mind.

If it matters to anyone I hadn't done the 3.01 update.

Doesent it always beep 2 times when it turns off? Dunno..

That sucks.

I feel you TC, my 60GB went out on me two weeks ago in the exact same fashion. I bought my slim friday night after work and spent most of my weekend getting everything re-setup and installed.

So far, I'm loving it. I thought the Slim was kind of ugly at first, but now that I can hold it and see it from all angles, I really like the design.

Have you tried to overheat it and solder the connections back together?

My 60 gig launch went out on me about 8 months ago......I was extremely pissed since it was the 1st system ever to fail on me since Atari which still plays......

They do a pretty good job of getting you back a new one though..................

It's my own fault. A year ago I hoped my system would last until a slim version was released and the price had come down. A month after the slim comes out my console breaks fulfilling my self made prophecy. I didn't think the slim would be released so soon, however.

I guess I'll never finish MUA2, even if I get the disk back by the time I can play it again there will be better games to be played.

I used to have a 60GB from launch and did notice that it used to run very hot.I kept it for just about 2 years,and i too wasn't too concerned about the B.C. cos i still got my old Phat PS2.So i sold the 60GB and a couple of weeks ago i managed to buy a latest version Phat 80GB for ££££s less than a slim-There's bargains out there if you look around,so you don't nessecarily have to go for the slim,cos the newer 80s run cooler and quieter anyway.

Right before the month of the great games come out :(idk761

Yeah october has alot of great games coming out :(
