I too am on my third ps3. The 1st two were 60gb like yours and both died from the YLOD too. You're lucky sony offered you something for free. They asked me to pay $150 again even though the 2nd ps3 only lasted 8 mths. It was about 3 months before the slim launched so I just waited and got a slim instead like yourself. Borrowed my cousin's ps3 in the mths in-between.
If I start hearing of any serious breakeage issue like YLOD for the slim, I'll personally make sure mine breaks before sept 1 this year so I dont pay any overpriced repair fees. I also dont get why people still think ps3 hardly breaks. It does (at least the 60gb does)
