YLOD happend to me few months ago on my 60gb ps3 that was out of warrenty. rather than buying a new one i sent it into sony for 150 bux to get another 60gb ps3. i think its refurbished but still better than 400 bux for an 80gb without BC.

I could technically sell the 60gb ps3 with BC for 300 bux now and pick up a slim now considering I still have my ps2.

I have considered doing this myself although I have come to the realization that I actually prefer playing PS2 games on the PS3. Unlimited memory cards, upscaling and image smoothing (often better turned off though) as well as being able to use the wireless DS3.

Of course thinking of it as a really expensive PS2/BD player doesn't exactly help. 

The pros for the slim would be better portability, lower heat and lower power use, but those aren't worth trading a 60GB SKU away.

I may well end up with a third PS3 when the slim drops price in another year or two.
