What on earth are you doing to your PS3s?

Nothing bad! It's in an open space (on a coffee table) and I always leave my window open to make sure there is enough cool air for the PS3. My launch one lasted a year and a half, but since I've been getting refurbs, they only last a couple of months. This one only lasted two.

I also hear the PS3 slim is very compact inside, which is slighlty worrying. Honestly don't know which one to choose! :(

If I make the wrong decision, then I'll be stuck with that model and if it gets the YLOD, I'll have to keep getting refurbs, until I buy a better model.

Thanks for the replies so far.

Hey all,

Basically, my 60GB broke the other day, which means I have now had 5 refurbished units die on me. :(

So, I want to purchase a new model, and get away from the YLOD that the 60GB mostly suffers from. Now, I'm not too sure which PS3 to buy, the 80GB or PS3 Slim? I would have gone for the PS3 Slim, but I've heard it gets very hot, which questions the reliability of the system. I've heard good things about the 80GB too. Anyone here have the 80GB? If so, have you suffered the YLOD yet?

Cheers

Hey there,

I'm from the official PS3 EU forums with about 6000 posts, and I am hoping to move aswell to this forum.

Most games only support 780p but WipeOutHD will support 1080p and to enjoy these graphics, you will need a HMDI cable. Without this, you cannot play in HD and in 1080p.
