I've still got my original UK launch 60gb model (although i have replaced the 60GB hard drive with a 320GB).

I've got to admit im really paranoid that im going to get the YLOD, it's had alot of gaming done on it. So far ive bought 47 games although i only own 23 as ive traded the others, and my girlfriend has also bought the PS MOVE for it. i cant help thinking that it must be nearing its end because of stories like Squall_leonharts. I usually back up my hard drive onto an external every week just incase it does YLOD but it must of been over a month since i last done this.

Im dreading the day that my console switches off never to be switched on again! There cant be muh original 60GB still alive anymore.

Backing up your PS3 hardrive is only useful if you intend to get your PS3 repaired since it will only copy back to the same PS3 system (not same hardive).  Most PS3 problems though are unrelated to the hardrive so if you got it fixed you'd likely not need restore anything you backed up since it'll all be there anyway.

 

I say this to everyone...if you are worried about saves back them up individually and manually, it takes time especially if you got a lot of games but its the only real option you got if gonna be using a new PS3 system.  Any copy locked saves you will lose, nothing to be done for those.

so if you back up your whole hard drive you can't take individual save games off it

seems like a waste of time backing up the hard drive
