Someone may have said this already, as I haven't read the whole thread, but if you want to get the game out you could try turning the system off and reaching inside the disc slot with a wire clothes hanger. You might break the system even more, but there's a good chance you'd get it out.

Sorry about your system



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

It is unfortunate any time a console dies no matter what kind it is. Esp... considering how much they cost.

Is it me or is there a lot of broken 60gb Ps3's lately? Sorry to hear about this leo.

It's not just you. That's why I traded mine in for a slim. They're dropping dead left and right.

I was just wondering, how much difference did it cost you?  I know where there is a YLOD PS3 I can get for relatively cheap and was thinking about buying it for either trying to trade in or for fixing.  Do they take broken PS3's in for trade?

Sorry to hear that, Leo.

I also have a launch 60gb.

I keep mine well-ventilated, but I know that YLOD seems to strike almost at random, so who knows.

Shall light a candle for ya... although that might remind you of the yellow light... hmm...

I only got $160 for mine, but the heat and noise it was starting to pump out regularly was too scary. So all in all, the slim cost $140.

 

They don't take broken PS3's in for trade. If you could get it for really cheap though, you may be able to turn a profit on ebay or craigslist (depending on how much you pay, of course).

Sony's officially using microsoft technique to sell more consoles? ;)



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

The YLOD can be caused by a power supply failure, something that can happen in an instant. I dont have a complete list of things that cause YLOD, but you can google it. Shoot me a PM if you need any info on fixing the thing(if thats the route you are going), I know how to do/have links to how to fix different PS3 symptoms.

 

Im afraid mine is going to kick the bucket soon, my roomies(who do NOT own PS3's) bought Batman AA cause of the Joker and are playing the hell out of it. Today while playing the game got really choppy....so Im a bit concerned. I had him turn it off for a few minutes, and its not happening, I hope its just a glitch or at worst a problem with the HDD.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

yea just youtube it. it supposedly isnt that hard to fix



I'm not martin luther king. I don't have a dream. I have a plan

Sell a man a fish you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish you just ruined a perfect business opportunity.

We didn't emerge out of the stone age because we ran out of stones. Its time to be proactive not reactive.

This is the end, beatiful friend.
This is the end, my only friend, the end.

Anyway, seems these 60gb broke easily.
I would either repair it/get new on/burn it and take it on video and become youtube legend/ curse sony to hell.

Dude Leo if you decide to not get it repaired you should totally do this (fully cloaked) while demonic music is playing in the background. 1 million hits, guaranteed*

 

*I guarantee it because if you didn't get the recognition you'd deserve for this, Id leave a rock on my F5 key and give you those million hits!
