check it out, about ylod,  90% of 60gb.

so im about to call sony up for a 80gb. its also got a self clean fuction to prevent clogs and clear fans that 60gb dosent have.

so its the 60gb's its happening to, it happened to mine aswell.

i have a choice of 60gb/80gb  but im thinking of asking them to send me a 80 instead of a 60gb.

what did u decide to to TC?

lol my cod:waw is stuck but idc about that crappy game :)

i was wondering that.

im just broke my 2nd ps3. i am waiting for sony to send a new one. i wont turn on and when i try  it:

goes green for a sec

then starts blinking red continously.

so u think this is wat did it?

is it harmful to turn off the ps3 from the back after your done playing.

eg: after im done, i just use the back switch to turn the ps3 off, while the game is still on?

i just bought this cable,

is it correct? and will it charge my ps3 controller ?
