DemonFox I hear of plenty of people who get the YLOD after they boot it up for the first time since like a 2-3 days.. so I don't think playing it alot is a big cause..

I went to cali for about a week , Phoenix for about 2 days, and a little more recently Scottsdale for about 3-4 days, so have I gotten really lucky or something? Or is the failure rate still within the norm of below 5%?

 

There's a lot of luck involved...

When mine broke and I took it to the repair guy he was amazed I kept it on 2 years and never had a problem, so obviously it doesn't seem like it is something that is recommended...

 

And yes the problem is the same as the RROD, which involves Solder melting away too.

RROD is however easier to fix as getting to the motherboard when you open an Xbox360 is easier to do ( but RROD happens more often than YLOD, probably due to better ventilation and solder in the PS3).
