What would you do if you were in the middle of a game and there was a power out?

Well, my PS3 already got yellow light, but if it worked and that happened, I'd probably do the same thing as when my PS3 died.

Just turn it on and off a couple times to test it, stare at it in disbelief and then shake my head in disappointment.

Continue to game because my router and PS3 are connected to a generator.

You better believe it.

Yellow light isn't limited to 60 GB models... it happens to all of them eventually, I'm sure. Can't say about the Slim though, which is why I'm getting one in the future.

That actually looks more like a bowel movement face than an angry one.

I'm probably just looking at it wrong, though.

Yeah, I am pretty sure mine is soon to kick the bucket. The fan gets loud as soon as I play a game. :(

Fix the problem and go on with life. I have had power failures several times while in a game and never had a problem so far.

Take it apart and clean all the dust out of it. Mine was doing the same thing.

It was a beautiful starry evening, the night had a calming stillness to it and a plate of lasagna had enticed me with its aroma in that special night I had with Valkyria Chronicles. The final battle was upon me, I was obviously in the danger zone at this point and a single shot could have ended the game. I took Alicia around for the final blow and it had ended. The war had ended, the ending played itself before me. A blazing rush of fire ascended before my eyes and CGI plus the artistic design of the game blew my eyes inside out. It was magnificent, the climax was reach its peak. Everyone's feelings were gathered for the final chapter. God came for a visit. And then-!

Darkness.

Cold bitter darkness.

And someone took my Lasagna...

I would curse myself for not buying a better surge protector! and then pay the price of getting it fixed :( and buy a better surge protector while my precious is away.

I would do the same thing I did when I got the Yellow Light,

I will swear, kick something, swear, throw something, swear, hurt someone, swear, swear, drink some soft drinks, swear, rip my school books, swear, throw stuff around, swear, shout "LIVE.........LIVE.........LIVE" at the PS3 and probably swear.

The usual stuff a man would do.
