Forget Xbox 360 RROD: Here is Sony PS3 YLOD
By: Daniel Chubb | January 19, 2008
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.

Xbox 360 RROD We Know: Sony PS3 YLOD, is it fake or real?
No they didn’t lol you’re just guessing now! It has always been supplied with the console as standard, when subscribing to LIVE and even with some games. Most people start off with at least 2, I have 4 but still use the first because I’ve worn it in. My point was about the atmosphere on xbox compared to ps3, there is total silence with nobody else talking during games like cod4 which would suggest people who have ps3 don’t want to buy them. Is that because they aren’t free or that the network is shit anyway???
No they didn’t! Lol are you just going to start making stuff up now??? It has always been free with the console as standard, with LIVE and also with some games. Most people start with at least 2, I have 4 and still use the first because it is worn in. The question you have to ask if all this variety of ps3 headsets exist why do they not buy them? The atmosphere is games like cod4 is awful compared to xbox. Maybe it’s because ps3 has an awful network?
I never took out my hd but i did overheated it on purpose and all that happened was that it turned off.I did that several times and it just turnes off.
The only thing i found its a glitch on the control.It tends to freeze up while i’m playing and the game gets stuck doing my last response over and over for a few seconds.Not sure if is for surtin games or what but that’s one.
The other i can’t hear any off my music while playing,but i can while on the net.Maybe SONY will fix that soon.
The ps3 network is free and not many want to buy a headset.Hell i’ve use my ps2 headset sometimes but i stopped using it,just to many big babies crying (stop that,that’s cheating,)oh and the ones insulting your family.
On the 360 i got my headset and another when i bought my new membership.True you get more players chatting but that’s to be expected,afterall we paid for it why not abuse it alittel right.
both network are good it’s just depends on the games u like.so tell me,did u play COD4 on the ps3?….so the atmosphere?
Yeah my friend bought a ps3 for Christmas. The reason he picked it was to play his old ps2 games but some discovered he couldn’t and he’s a bit pissed about that. We played cod4 which was like a totally different game compared to LIVE where everybody talks and watches each others backs. Also played FIFA which is awful online, one minute you have the ball, next thing there’s a pause and the ball’s in the back of the net. On LIVE it’s just smooth gameplay.
I didnt get one with my first box (360) but when it rrod the second one came with one. Never had a game come with one though.
Either way I never even used it, it just seems wierd to have some one you can’t punch in the face beak off about sh!t they don’t know.
That guess not everybody thinks that, 10 million are subscribed to LIVE
Jesus, johnny, since when can one person constantly defend all the flaws of the 360? Smooth gameplay on XBL? My ass. I played Gears of War on a high-speed connection at my friends house the other day, and we were spit out from the game and lagging every 10 minutes or so. Resistance, flawless. I’m not sure what you’re smoking, but I’ve been playing the PS3 online for over a year without one single lag experience, and that’s using a router that reaches 8,000kb at max
Ok I’m sorry you’re right if you say ps3 has never had a single lag for you I believe you and I also believe you about your “friends” high speed connection that lagged every 10 minutes lol. If LIVE is so bad why do people re-subscribe, especially when it costs money. If xbox is so crap why has it got such a massive user base? Are we all missing something because ps3 has been out for around a year now? You can’t just dismiss that size of a userbase
Hey Johnnyb ppl re subscribe to the xbox live coz they hve no other option of playin online….Got it?
Why not trade in their xbox for a ps3 then if psn is so great? lol. If it was such a crap service they wouldn’t use it again but they do
