[QUOTE="jakndaxter7223"]O wow I trust a lvl 1 with 5 posts! Oh man your credibility is established already! especially with that whole "collecting dust" and then saying "take good care of it" abdelmessih101

1. his low level has no bearing on his credibility - creating a profile in order to seek help with a legitimate problem shouldn't take away from someone's credibility and doesn't mean he is a troll
2. he used "collecting dust" as a figure of speech meaning "it's not getting much use" which nobody seems to understand
3. he did bash the PS3 in any way
4. the YLOD is a legitimate problem
5. the TC is not a troll

I have to agree. This problem IS KNOWN. It's an IO failure. It doesn't necessarily mean that the hard drive is bad. It could also mean that the hard drive connection became loose during movement. Bringing your ps3 to a friends house, whether in your car or on a bike can jolt the system. The only two parts of the system that aren't solid state are the hard drive and the blu-ray drive. The blu-ray drive is integrated, but the hard drive is swapable. All it takes is coming loose and shorting to cause this yellow light. My advise is to open it up, pull the hard drive out. Clear out the bay with compressed air. Put the whole thing back in. The yellow light should go away. If it doesn't, it means that the hard drive head scratched the plate during transit. Then in that worst case scenario, go out and buy another hard drive. It sucks, but it's not as bad as a bricked machine by any means.

To those of you that insulted his credibility, please try to find technical information about it before you post rude comments. If you can't find anything, then you can't disprove his statement. Therefore, this entire thing becomes opinion. He says one thing, then you say another thing. The problem is, neither one can be proved. The sickening thing is that the fanboyism is so severe that people are willing to insult someone about what happened than being intelligent and trying to find answers. That's depressing, and an embarassing view of humanity. I absolutely LOVE my ps3. But I'm not going to insult him because I'm unwilling to accept that something might not have a 0% failure rate. That's just idiotic, childish, and indicative of a very low IQ.

Bioshock was one of the best games in 2007 IMO. It ranked up their with Mass Effect, Uncharted, COD4 and AC for me. The story is very engrossing and the game play is fun and accessable. I too was disapointed about the no penalty for dying but was able to get past it.T_0_D

I agree with everything that you said, excluding the part about Mass Effect and Bioshock.
