so my PS3 got YLOD again...

[PearlJam]

This sounds like all the 360 owners that were in denial when other people would report multiple broken 360s. 360 owners used to blame the user too.

Retrasado (is that Spanish for retarded?) I sympathize with you, I really do. I had my 60gb break right after warranty and had to fix it myself, it still occasionally crashes and I'm kind of afraid to play it too much. I'm thinking about buying a Slim since I never really play PS2 games anymore. But I doubt you did anything wrong, I know multiple PS3 users in real life that have had their PS3 die from either YLOD or a bad BR Drive.

And yes after you build up your game library make friends online and all of that (Trophies, Achievements), you can't just throw it all away and start from scratch with a different system. PS3 has some great games and I want to make sure I can play them for extended periods of time. I can't afford a slim right now, but maybe in a couple of months I will pick one up.

Don't listen to fanboys, I treated my PS3 like gold and hardly played it (I payed $600 damnit) and it still died. BTW I have 2 360s and both have died, my second 360 was serviced and works but I get a little nervous every time I turn it on..

And yes I take care of my stuff. I have a 20+ year old NES that still works and my original PS2 still works even though those systems were very fragile too.
