Apparently Sony has a class action lawsuit already in the pipes.http://www.lawyerseek.com/Practice/Consumer-Protection-C21/Playstation-3-Yellow-Light-of-Death-P212/

Whether YLOD is common or not, this lawsuit was bound to happen. It doesn't matter if it's 5% or 100% as long as there's 1 person who thinks that they can use YLOD as a means of surviving the bad economy or just flat out making an easy buck.

Wouldn't it be funny if Sony lost another lawsuit due to faulty hardware? This place would explode with cows in DC...

And also there's no date on that page. For all we know that could have been posted 2 years ago..

The slim uses smaller chipsets that generate less heat than the fats, it should happen less

Seems a lot like that recent GI poll. Everyone says that the 360 failure rate is 33% then GI says 54%? We'll need more sources confirming these numbers to get a better average.

alright, nameless website criticize the ps3, and ign, kotaku, gamespot, joystiq, and everybody else criticizes 360. wonder which one is better....

The funny part is all the sites that have attacked the Xbox based it off of a GI poll

I have to admit though, and this goes for RROD and YLOD, half of these could be avoided. Check out those "post picks of your setups" threads. It's unreal the # of people that have theair vents blocked by a shelf or something. Same with the number of people that have the console sitting on carpet.

I have a launch 60 gig and it literally stays on most of the time. And I've never had an issue with over heating. But my PS3 sits right out in the open. So does my Wii and reciever. People REALLY need to realise that blocking the intake or exhaust for the console will cause it to over heat. plain and simple.

[QUOTE="shad0w70"][QUOTE="micky4889"]"Colchester Computers" is independent as far as i know the same as Console Doctor now as you stated the 360 has a 3 year warranty so who is going to pay these guys to fix it when they can ship it of to M$ for free.lol Frankly i'm surprised they get so many 360's it just goes to show how many out of warranty 360 owners refuse to pay M$ absurd repair price.vaderhater

I realize its all hypothetical, but if it came into fruition (which is slim,) it would be the funniest thing to happen this gen....

I think if the Slim started failing all over the place, that would be a little funnier. Followed by this suit.

[QUOTE="enygma500"]Yes it's now 45 nm. Also this article was really unexpected. But considering 90% of the people out there tend to claim the PS3 rates is closer to 10% or lower, I find this to be a little off base. I'm not saying it's wrong. But it's just unusual for 1 place to report numbers drastically higher then everywhere else.

What would really be funny is if a Wii died and it had a Green Light of Death. Then you could stack a dead 360 on top of a dead PS3 on top of a dead Wii and have a stoplight....

[QUOTE="vaderhater"]All over the internet where ever fanboys fight RROD is used again and again by Sony fanboys. Some even make false claims of it. I think YLOD is gonna become a dirty little secret of Sonys. Heck on the PS3 forums here right now I saw two threads about it page 1 tonight.

Anyways. As bad as on anf off constanly is. Sitting on a carpet is almost as bad and block either of the air vents is FAR worse. HAving th console on a carpet just acts like insulateing. It makes the console heat up more because the carpet not only retains its heat but gradually gets hotter and hotter the longer you play.

[QUOTE="Ribnarak"]should we put our consoles in mini fridges/freezers. YES Ive found a cure to the heating issues. !!!!:Pvaderhater

The following paragraph seems relevant to this:

Whether the advent of PS3 Slim and the Jasper revision of Xbox 360 with their smaller, cooler chips will solve the issue remains to be seen, but producing machines that pump out less heat and suck less power from the mains is clearly the way forward.Eurogamer

[QUOTE="PvtGump8"]

Considering the "workshop" in the article is independent and the 360 does have a 3 year warranty..wouldn't it be safe to assume they are only seeing a very small portion of RROD's?

Why would anybody send a console to them to get fixed if it voids your warranty?

This story proves nothing.
