Thanks 360hammer, something to think about. Pretty Sure it's not the HDD that was the first thing I checked.

Oh, and prices are in Australian Dollars if they seem a bit odd to anyone.

the conspiracy is real. sony is Yloding all fat Ps3s......... which doesn't make since. also sticky please use

Damn it, I knew it!

Went to start up my great faithful lump of a console today. As per usual it started quietly and without fuss.

However about half an hour into playing it turns of randomly. I turn it back on and... YELLOW LIGHT! I have had absolutely problem with it until now, it has always been dust free, plenty of air and I never lug it around. I spent the remainder of the afternoon turning on and off letting it sit for a while and about every other trick imaginable without voiding the warranty (which is up anyway)

Having finally come to terms with the loss of my beloved behemoth I have come up with two options and was hoping for advice.

1.Send it to Sony who will fix it for a flat fee of $315

-Or-

2. Hand it over to EB who will offer me $150 for an unopened defective console, which I can them put t'ward a shiny (or matte Slim) new one.

Right now it is obvious what I was really hoping for were some more options if there is any.

---Just a side note my PS3 died on the 18th, THE VERY SAME DAY THE SLIM WAS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED!!1! Am a suggesting an elaborate conspiracy on Sony's behalf? Not really, but it is a pretty strange coincidence.

Yeah I tried mini nuking my way out (obvously fruitless) also tried running.

It was a pin i needed to pick a lock. I didn't count on it causing me this much grief.

Unfortunatly i think i'm going to have to restart.

I've stolen an item in rivet city which has caused the entire population to corner and attack me in a small room. Obviously I re-spawn in the same room and am immediately swarmed by people. Problem is I can't fast travel from within the ship. and a have no saves to fall back on. Any suggestions?

If I reply to you, which i'm doing i'm making it worse. 

It's an endless circle just like this thread 

This thread needs to die already. Jesus is not the only way to heaven....if there even is a heaven....especially since the only people who believe this are American Christians, which is a small percent of the world and a small percent of religion. The rest of the world which is full of intelligent people all hate Christianity people.

I am athiest myself but even I do not agree with that post.

Saying "the rest of the world" whatever that means, hates christians is not only wrong but offensive. Read as much as you can and base your beliefs on research (scientific research).

Promote your beliefs but don't call people stupid for making their own decisions.

However I did agree with you when you said this thread needs to die. 

 Black regiment all your information is from the Institute for Creation Research. Hardly a neutral source.

Only slightly on topic.

I watched (unfortunately) Speed not long ago and realised the MGS2 soundtrack was blatantly lifted from one of the worst action movies of the Nineties.

But the best has to be something with 'bleeps and bloops' everyone loves 'bleeps and bloops'
