ylod effects many ppl. I know http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3&thread.id=3629439 the unoffical ylod thread vs rrod
I think the ylod problem is overstated. I mean that places is like THE headquarters for anyone who has ylod problems. I bet that board encompasses 10% of all PS3 owners who've gotten the ylod. Which lets say is a thousand people = 10k people with ylod. Not much, though not insignificant
Until Sony has a three year warranty zip it PS3 fanboys about RROD. If my PS3 breaks after a year and Sony wants me to pay $150 to fix it I'll tell them to shove it.

Until the ylod problem gets as big as the rrod 360 fanboys zip it. ;)
freezing does happen, but it doesn't affect your system. it happened twice, when i was playing cod4. and then i never got it again. simple solution to freezing: turn off the main power. :D
Realize that a lot of people go to forums for help when their system breaks. The YLOD problem only looks larger because you're on the Sony forums. BTW PSU was way better when it was PSU, and not PSN.
Anyways, like mentioned before even though the YLOD happens far less often at least there's a 3 year warranty for 360's, and not some bogus $150 charge like Sony has.
I was having to hard start my PS3 quite frequently as of late and was worried something else was wrong...I doubt it had anything to do with it,,but when I switch my ISP over to Version Fios 20/5 service.....It went to freezing almost every session.....to it has not in over 3 months..

My ps3 has been freezing a lot after the i bought the new KZ2 maps,and my 360 turns my tv screen all green after i watch a video,i don't know what is wrong.
I've had my ps3 for 2 years and it's froze on me maybe 2-3 times. The RRod happened 3 times within 7 months of my 360. Also I forgot to mention that I did have a TERRIBLE problem I couldn't get any help from. I had not even seen it posted in any forums after doing a couple of hours of research, but for some reason my games wouldn't start up anymore, I couldn't log onto PSN, I couldn't download games etc. I found out something happened to my hard drive, because after I did a full hard drive format which took 3+ hours my ps3 was up and running perfectly. It hasn't happened again, but it was very worrisome, but fortunately no one else has had that problem. Also it wasn't my game files because I backed them all up and they all worked perfectly.
My PS3 froze once, and I was back playing the game 2 minutes later. If a 360 gets the RROD, how long will it be before I am playing games? 2,3 or 4 weeks?
RROD was worse but it virtually completely fixed now. I got my 360 (Jasper) in January and it hasn't frozen or RROD'ed a single time.
That being said, I have never even heard of YLOD so I can't imagine that its that big of a problem. My friend who owns a PS3 has never complained about it.

Only game that froze on me was assassins creed. I remember that was the game's fault though. I think resistance froze on me once, but that could have been lag. These are just educated guesses, but uhh, ~20,000 out of ~22 million is much better than ~5 million out of ~30 million.
I'm quite shocked at the love people are giving for the 3 year warranty... You people do realize, that the -only- reason that's in effect, is because MS pretty much had the EU ready to rip them a new one if they didn't do something about it, right? In fact, if MS hadn't of offered it, they may as well have waved goodbye to the console war, as they'd have probably been forced to issue a full recall, which would have pretty much killed their gaming division off.

Yah? I'm also surprised that people would rather get their system fixed for free than spend $150 to get it fixed. Quite surprised actually. :roll:
2 years and not 1 problem on mine either. I think most people getting the issues just don't treat their system correctly ( letting it overheat from being on too long or just being in a hot room or on the floor).
