So you're *****ing about GameSpot's tardiness and the quality of their reviews? If their reviews are so bad, then why do you care when they come out?

Stop whining and complaing and just leave this forum.

By the way, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts will get an 8.5. I doubt it will get any lower than AA on here.

The reviews here are whats really keeping the forums alive and gamespot bursting with activity... with so many late reviews and bad press, Gamespot might really die out soon... I wonder which forums the fanboys would move to next...

they ship you the empty box, you put your broken one into it and ship it back. They may either give you a new one or just fix your old onesmeags11

That. and they ship you a 4lb box, u send it in and once they repair it they ship you a 16lb box.

Hello Guys!

 

I got my 60g PS3 in May 2007.  

 

Unfortunately, I have gotten the Yellow Light of Death.

I called Sony for service and they wanted to charge me 150 dollars to have it fixed.  

I complained that i wanted to speak to someone from corporate and then i was given the phone to one of the highest available managers who then finally said," okay, we will fix it for you this one time for free."

I asked him why this is a problem and he told me that the Tech department realized it was a Heat Sink problem.  The yellow light of death is a fail safe mode when the ps3 starts so it doesnt ruin any sensitive components.  

Technically, the ps3 is playable, but the PS3's own programming won't let the user start the operating system on the count that it was overheating.

 

I had been playing Little Big Planet EVERYDAY since it came and left the console on for about 8 hours a day after classes and work with my GF.  

 

4 hours for me, 2 hours for her, and about 2 hours or more for bluray Movies(HULK, Sleeping Beauty,Cars,Ironman,etc)

 

So what i have realized is that the Yellow light of Death and the Red ring of death are practically the same thing.  

I have been playing so much PS3 than ever before that its ridiculous!  so many good games.

360 owners probably play non stop too and thats why RROD is as rampant.  because there are so many good games.

 

so as far as avoiding the YLOD, don't play too much PS3!  Perhaps follow the rule and give the console a 15 minute break for every hour you play.  

I know its hard when you make LBP levels to just STOP creating, but its probably wise.   

 

Ill get my PS3 back in 1 week 

Hit my up for LBP.

 

PSN ID:  Ari2000.  

Check out LBP levels.

 

The Demon Knight

Save the Queen

Tree of Power.

I leave my ps3 on for like 3 weeks straight never gotten the yld... i did get a game loading issue though after a year of abuse...

Just for a quick analysis, nothing serious. If you participated in my last survey (which was just a practice for this one), then you should know what to expect.

I even colored it for fun! :D

Ok, here goes:

1. Have you ever had the Disc Read Error? disc would freeze everytime it tries to load

2. How many times have you sent console to Sony for ANY reason? 1
3. How much breathing room does your PS3 have on all sides? (i.e. 1 foot, 6 inches, etc.) 2 feet on everyside

4. Has your system ever locked up to where it wouldn't respond to the PS button? no
5. What model do you have and how long have you had it? 60 gig reburbished, 1year+
6. How often do you play in a given week? at least 30 hrs (ps3 is left on for several weeks though)
7. Are you meticulous about how you handle your discs? (i.e. no fingerprints, scratches) yes
8. Do you think your console has ever been bricked by a particular game? no
9. How often do you clean your system for dust and things like that? once a month
10. Do you download PSN games? And if so, how often do you play them? not often

In my opinion, this is the best PS3 game to come out so far. The game is an exellent strategy rpg and requires a lot of thinking to win a fight. Great story, great voice acting, really fun gamepay, great graphics. It's my favorite ps3 game so far =). Good snack for rpg lovers until persona 4 and White knight story comes out.

What do you think is the best solution for SONY to help dig itself out of debt? Charge for PSN? Lower the cost of the PS3? Start releasing more exclusive titles? Should they start buying exclusive titles? Should they start paying for exclusive DLC a.k.a. Mirror's Edge? I'm curious of those who have a PS3 and have a respect for the company, what do you feel is the best course of action SONY should do to dig itself out of debt.Solidus_Mute

Pay 500mil to SE to reclaim FFXIII as ps3 exclusive and regain some of the honor they lost to microsoft so horribly.
