calm down man, I hope you backed up your saves. luckily for me, mine broke a month after I upgraded the HDD (august last year) and it was a 60gb like yours. I got the same exact thing: a freeze during soul calibur iv, freeze again after reboot and again after another reboot then alternating green, yellow and red lights then YLOD

I feel bad for you knowing the 3 weeks of hell I endured without mine. I don't know what country you're in but if you send it back to sony, they are required by law (at least here in the US) to send you the same model which is what they did in my case. Hope everything works out for you because I too don't like the new ps3s especially because I back up game saves on an SD card.

Sony needs to address this YLOD thing.I don't know the statistics but it does seem like the launch 60gbs are all crapping out nowadays. I wonder who's next

Im in Sweden, So wait u got ur exact back? And my flashes red 24 / 7 not yellow i just see yellow like 0.01 seconds when i try to start the PS3. Anyhow u got ur back? Was ur saves on that HD empty?

 

I meant exact model as in launch 60gb. I've seen people post that they got the same one back but the only guarantee for that is to get it fixed by a 3rd party which puts you on sony's black list. It looked brand new but it's possible that it was refurbished. I didn't see any marks or scratches though. It was empty and unconfigured.
