Crap, actually, I think my PS3 is about to die. ;_;

Last night while playing Uncharted (trying to get the platinum trophy, I want at least one) I noticed every now and then the screen flickering to gray so I stopped playing it for the night. I just started it back up and the flickers are back (though not nearly as bad) but now the screen went black for a few seconds and then came back in.

It's not hot back there at all, I think it just might be its time.

So I guess another question: I have an 80gig with full BC and 4 USB ports, I still get that back if I send it in for repairs correct?

that doesn't sound like a PS3 problem at all....never heard of that you sure it isnt your TV or the cables not being plugged in??

The screen going black might be the cables but the gray flashes usually mean a burnt out graphics card.

When the gray flashes happened last night I had hoped maybe it was just the random bug because I did restart the game before quitting and it seemed to work fine but I did also have my PS3 on just about all day either playing games or watching movies.  It didn't feel too hot back there but it's not in an as ventilated place as before either (still should be ventilated enough though).
