So far, it looks like the YLoD is really only a problem for the earliest models - 60GB or 20GB systems. While the 80GB systems can YLoD, it's been rare. It'll be another year or so before you can be sure about that, though; it takes quite some time for most YLoDs to happen. Keep in mind that the PS3 will never be "immune" to the YLoD. All electronic equipment can fail, and the YLoD is simply a general error code to let you if that happens.
In any case, that deal sounds too good to pass up. If you're at all interested in the PS3, I'd go for it.
