Forget Xbox 360 RROD: Here is Sony PS3 YLOD

Ravens1995 · 2008-01-19 03:14:43

Everyone knows about the Xbox 360 RROD (red ring of death) thanks to some 33% of games consoles getting this problem, now we have proof of the Sony PS3 death with a so called YLOD. The video below shows a Playstation 3 with yellow lights, it sounds like a hard drive gone bad to me from the clicking noise as that's what I have had with many PC hard drives. Every product gets faults, but it's just what percentage of that product that counts. We have heard around 1% of PS3's have problems and why shouldn't they, but this is nothing compared to the well known and joked about world-wide RROD. In the case of the gamer that made this video below, his console has already been taken away by Sony.See the video athttp://n4g.com/News-101751.aspx

I thought they added the "__OD" because it is infamous, but this is the first I have heard of PS3s breaking, I mean, it does happen, but not even nearly as much as the 360.

The sad thing about it is when you get these PS3 YLOD there's not warranty to cover it and you have to buy a new PS3.

If it's within the one-year warranty you do. I guess you're right. I guess it's better having a console with a high failure rate and 3 year warranty (that only covers the RROD only, nothing else) than to have a reliable console with a one year warranty. Right.
