I can't believe that my PS3 died, i was playing Dead Space and downloading Fear 2 demo when my PS3 suddenly shut itself and gave me a yellow light then three beeps and a blinking red light, they told me that the main board is dead and it can't be fixed, i have to buy a new one.I was wondering why this happened? could it be the HDD, because i upgraded to a new Western Digital 250gb HDD andthe PS3died after three hours.

So the 360 got the Red Ring Of Death and the PS3 got the yelow light of death.I was also having issues in the trophies, i got all of Little Big Planet's trophies including the Metal Gear pack and the Platinum one, it appears as 100% in the PS3's XMB but when comparing with the others it is appearing as 78%, Sony said that every game in 2009 will support trohies, it is mandatory, so before mandatory Sony, fix your trophies servers.

I am sorry for the loss of your PS3 but what is the point to this.People already know the PS3 can die,it is a piece of technology and ALL tech can break at one point.

And I am sorry for that.It might be cheaper to send it in and get it fixed.Goodluck with it.

@ rogerjak: Now I can effectively seperate my internet browsing to work time only and play my PS3 at home :) @meharu: Thanks. I've got plenty more to work on but R2's Killing Machine has held me up for like 3 weeks.

Nope. My Blu-ray Drive said "Screw this!! I am out of here!!" and stopped working.

I would love to get a new one rather than get it fixed, i am thinking of getting the 40gb, cause i got the 250 gb HDD and i really don't care about the media slots.

My Bluray is shot on mine and has been for awhile. That makes every system I have bought now that has had a disc read error or malfunction of some type and I have never been a heavy user on my consoles. Sadly I have been a sucker a lot of times and just bought new systems when the originals failed, I guess that is why they make them do these weird errors.

Never in my life has a console died. My Genesis is kinda buggy at times, but it works.

My N64 never broke, nor did my GCN or PS3 or Wii. I had a NES like 15 years ago I don't remember what happened though.

Point is : I've been lucky enough so far and my PS3's doing great.

I must be a good console owner ;)
