Last month we heard about the Sony PS3 death with a so-called YLOD, today we have had a few more comments of Playstation 3 gamers getting the YLOD.
We all know the Xbox 360 RROD is fact and I have even had it myself, but gamers have mixed views about YLOD, is it real or fake.
This might be because it is very rare, while Microsoft’s 360 problem was a lot more common.
What do you think, Sony PS3 YLOD – Fake or Real?

I’ve had my 60g for 12-13 months now and it’s been on for a majority of that (Run folding@home constantly). Never had any problems like this myself…

Jim above is correct 100%. I had the same issue…I had the PS3 in an entertainment center and the door shut..It shut off, i turned it on and it was yellow..I freaked out, un plugged it and all. Couldnt figure it out..The ps3 was HUMMING from the fans when it was plugged in..after plugging it back it when it was back to room temp, it worked fine. Havent had a single problem since then.
i have 2 ps3 one just for folding@home its been on for 34 day
its true….the ylod exists……and its not the cooling stuff…….if it gets over-heated the red lights blink…..so get ur facts right,,,,the ylod is cozd due to ssum kinda spindle breakage
thats soo fake!! all it means is that you need to clean the fans w/ a low power vacuum cleaner and it’ll work perfectly! (i read it in the manual and I’m sure this is what happens if u don’t)
Its just 360 fans trying to make ps3 sound bad
Real or Fake, I wouldn’t know. My ps3 doesn’t over heat. It was well made.
@ chad
im a ps fanboy dufus…..i at first dint believe this shit….but all of a sudden it happend to me…tats all
Fake FAKE Who ever believes this crap is an idiot. PS3 is made by real highly talent professional not that cares about making a great product too bad i can’t say the same for Microsoft hardware nightmare Xbox 360. Everyone that saids that they got a YLOD is a Xbox 360 fanboy dreaming of getting the greatest video game console and the strongest with the best games.
This is not news is just fanboy talk.
