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.

Don’t know. Peoples PS3’s die but doesnt show a yrod.
Ya, I guess if I was stupid enough to own a 360 then I’d probably start rumours too, thankfully, I’m not that stupid. PSPCWii FTW
FUCK YOU MICROSHIT
I actualy got this once but it was for a short ammount of time and all I had to do was restart the console. afterwords there was no different in the before/after preformance.
wow this site isnt biased or anything… go check out their other reviews ps3 related.. not coming here again.
i dont believe it
i left my ps3 on for 3 days straight playin COD4
literally for like 3days straight switching with my bro and cousin to play COD4. Nothing happened
eventhough it was Hot as hell.
BTW even this YLOD is real, eventhough i think it isn r shouldnot be a serious problem, since its very rare, at the most maybeif it exists 1 or 2 percent, which is nothing compared with the 36O’s 25 to 33 percent.
So dont worry about, even if it does occur, which it wont, remember sony will gladly fix it 4 you.
It’s real. I have almost 2000 posts over at the official forums and I’ve seen this a couple times. It’s the same thing as the RROD, it just indicates a general hardware failure. No big deal, as others have already stated the number of people this happens to is incredibly small.
IT’S REAL TRUST ME, I ALREADY GOT 3 YLOD AND THEN I JUST BOUGHT A 360 WHICH HAS NOT FAILED ME AT ALL AND DON’T REGRET BUYING BECAUSE IT HAS THE BEST GAMES COMPARED TO PS3. PS3 IS ONLY A GOOD BLU-RAY PLAYER AND THAT IS ALL.
fake
I’m on my second PS3 first one got a blueray error. Stating all my disc’s were unreadable.
However I suspect it was from the dust since I never turn the dang thing on. They just exchanged it and currently it seems to be fine.
I bought the thing for blueray movies but as you already know the price is still too damn much for the movies.
As for games…well the xbox 360 elite I have gets all my time.
Never had an issue with the 360 Pro I have as well.
People have to remember these are computers and not toys. They need a lot of breathing room.
i had my ps3 for 5 months now and almost never turn it off. cause i use it a lot for web movies pictures talking to with the webcam and downloading everthing new that come up in PSS.
an cod4 alway on it.an it never gave me a problem.
