It's been only 8 months after sony sent me their refurbished console and now I have to go through the pocess again and they tell me I have to pay $149 again. The first time they told me I was one of the few unlucky ones, now they're saying the same thing again and I can't believe it. The 60gb is defective...nuff said. I've had the same exact problem: green light---turns yellow---flashes red twice now and I won't be paying for another cosmetic work.
If anyone knows alternate repair centers that can help me out (one in Philadelphia that I can visit especially), please let me know. The most important thing now is my data. I just can't start my kz2 profile all over again. I just want this ps3 repaired long enough for me to back up my data then I'll buy one of the new ones and take a 3 year store replacement warranty this time.
The funniest part of the story is that my ps1 never broke...I threw it away and my ps2 still works. Now my devil summoner 2 disc is stuck in the ps3 and I can't play even play that on my ps2 either. So much for the great "suck-disc" technology. It's almost like consoles are now engineered to fail and we're expected to take it as what it is.
To my fellow VGCz KZ2 clan members, looks like I'll be out for a while. Hopefully not too long. My respect for sony just droppped to zero. If not for kz2, I wont even repurchase a ps3. At least with RRoD, you get 3 years of warranty service. Sony won't admit they have problems.

I can almost gaurantee with 99% certaintity that the failure is due to you having the console in a poorly ventilated space without regularly cleaning the dust off/out of the console. Of course you'll deny that and try to blame it on Sony.

You can't be serious. You haven't heard about all the reports of 60gb units breaking?
Anyway, mine was on a open TV stand on its own shelf, with nothing obstructing or even near the vents. Still got the YLOD after 1.5 years of use. You are completely blind if you think there are no issues with ps3 reliability, and the only reason people have problems is their own negligence.

For some people, their chosen company can do no wrong. Any suggestion to the contrary is interpreted as a personal attack. I've been on the receiving end of that first hand. Now me, I like MS, but I don't own a 360 because PS3 is my console of choice (unless it breaks again). I like Nintendo, but they haven't always been fair to 3rd parties, and this recent move about SSBB user content totally baffles me. I love my PS3, but I am no longer wild about any sony optical product. Point is, love the product, not the corporation, because they are all in it for the money.*
* As they should be. I want to see the NeXtBOX, Wii Too, and PS4 after all.
