actually you are the one that looks foolish now ,,,three blinking red means the system is turning off(which is in the OP),,,nothing to do with yellow light,,,,as for yellow light every piece of electronic has failure rates ,,,PS3 failure rate is already low but yellow light incident is even in lower precentage of failures in PS3s.

You know Spartan, it strikes me Sony doesn't talk about hardware reliability as often as they used to.  I'm starting to think that with more anecdotal reports of failures plus the massive dramas that seem to accompany every firmware update, the PS3's failure rate may not be quite as low as it once was..............

 

I believe it is,,,,in my local future shop from every 10 PS3 sold 1-2 will return on average for repair,,,but from every 10 X360 sold 6 will return  on average for warranty works.
