The PS3 has something just as bad as X360's RROD. It is called the YLOD, or Yellow Light Of Death, now all you Sony Fanboys out there can stop with the RROD thing! click HERE to see it.

so does it really matter so late in the console race. 2 or 3 more years and this race will be over.

Thanks for pointing out that an electronic device has a light for depicting a general hardware failure. When my microwave broke, the light on the outside turned from green to yellow....want a link?

The PS3 has a 3%-5% failure rate and the 360 has an unknown but billion dollar warranting failure rate which is believe to be between 16%-33% see the difference even some Wii's have failed.

wow dude lol...you realize there has been like 5 incidents where the YLOD has occurred? It is an over-heating problem that only the launch 60-20gig ps3's have. It is extremely rare. Unless you play your ps3 like 10 hours a day, you will never be a victim to it. Honestly, the chance of getting the yellow light is extremely low...nothing compared to the RROD issue on the 360.

RRODs are more disturbing than PS2's DRE

RRODs are worst than PS2's DRE

RRODs are more pathetic (MS hasn't done anything to erradicate this) than DRE

It much less wide spread than RROD, also the PS3 also has a problem where the blu-ray drive stops working. But it only happens to about 1-2% of PS3 owners

I love my 360, awesome games but the hardware is garbage. I have 2 in my household, one in the bedroom and one in the living room. Living room 360 is on no. 3 and just sending the one in my bedroom away with it's 1st RROD. So far that makes 2 RROD and one disk drive failure. Thats pretty poor. But so far it hasn't cost me anything but postage to fix.

the yellow light doesn't appear when the system fails, it appears when the hard drive detaches and it can be put right back into place, no problem.Btw... keep dreaming ...

And the Wii overheats. The difference between the PS3/Wii's, and the 360's problem? The PS3/Wii's problem happens less then 1% to all consoles. Same can't be said about the 360. Just buy a PS3 already. This damage control from MGS4 is getting ridiculous.

exactly.

All electrical appliances have problems. A friend of mine had a fault with his ps3 (though he was installing linux and things like that on it) and withing 2 days of calling he had a new free ps3.

LMFAO

I love my 360, I don't think the hardware is garbage, I think they made it to where the GPU doesn't get enough airflow, so it overheats, if they would have designed the case better, thats all, to improve airflow, the 360 would be much more reliable, i think

anyway, I'm lucky never to have had the RROD, but I did have 2 DRE on PS2, and it wasn't untill the redisgned slim version came out that that problem was fixed

I swear by the fan stand by pelican, I'm fairly certain that is why my 360 is cruising along still

And how often does that happen? :roll:kingdre
Always!

Always that theres a lightning strike that makes the electricity tension go high, plus the fact you don't protect it with a switch that would stop that high tension from reaching your PS3.

So 100% rate!

No, it really doesn't. Every piece of electronic equipment has a failure rate, it's when it goes massively beyond this rate, does it become a big issue, like RROD.

Dude, it's not that late. There are probably four more years left in these consoles. Look how long the Genesis and the SNES ran.
