Everyone knows about the Xbox 360 RROD (red ring of death) thanks to some 33% of games consoles getting this problem, now we have proof of the Sony PS3 death with a so called YLOD.
The video below shows a Playstation 3 with yellow lights, it sounds like a hard drive gone bad to me from the clicking noise as that’s what I have had with many PC hard drives.
Every product gets faults, but it’s just what percentage of that product that counts. We have heard around 1% of PS3’s have problems and why shouldn’t they, but this is nothing compared to the well known and joked about world-wide RROD.
In the case of the gamer that made this video below, his console has already been taken away by Sony.
Update:
raza514 made a good point, the sound is not coming from the ps3….it was there before he turned it on.

“Why do you fanboys insist the PS3 is perfect and that this video must be fake? Please get a grip on reality!”
Plain and simple. The clicking noise is heard well before the PS3 is even turned on. Give me a fucking break. That sums it all up. Just as Superdynamite mentioned, PROPAGANDA! This idiot just took the freaking hard drive out. Nice try Bill Gates with your anti PS3 internet propaganda goobers.
fake… i mean. u fu_cking xbots fanboys.. stop making sh1t like this… stop making urself funny… GT sucks
What I suspect is that he has removed the harddrive and does not have one in the PS3 as he’s starting it. Because the harddrive is missing the system cannot boot. I have never seen this happen on my console but who knows. Less than 1% failure rate is pretty damn good. Xbox owners would love to brag if only their console didn’t meltdown 33% of the time.
When the lights are flashing red because the system froze you need to wait for the lights to stop blinking bcuz the HDD is saving what it can. Then you wait a minute and restart the system. Your not supposed to turn off the system while the HDD indicator is flashing and when the red lights flash after freeze the HDD flashes aswell. Also like above noted the sound was before the PS3 was turned on.
DA, I’m not saying that everything is perfect, but not once in nearly two years have I heard of a “yellow light of death”. If it’s real, big whoop. If it isn’t, then wow, one PS3 with one yellow light.
I really don’t see the point in trying to move the focus away from the 360’s RROD even in the situation it’s still in. Microsoft needs to do something about it, because they fucked up and rushed the 360 after the original Xbox too quickly, and now I’m really not enjoying my 360 experience
Actually sounds like a disc is stuck in there and fell off the spindle. Must of knocked it over and then the spindle spinning inside has nothing to grap now will the disc come out. the n again the noise was there before he flipped the main power in the back. Any electronis can not have running noises with no power to it.
You never find a PS3 with a problem because the owner watches Talladega Nights once and never turns it on again.

I’m not a fan boy on either side I just game. All electronics will have failures. What’s important to me is how manufactures handle their failures. I think Sony, Apple, and Microsoft all have done their best to take care of their customers.
Wow, what a fuck….Any news about Dual fuck 3 coming to the US anyone?
