it's not worth fixing it yourself, the tools and the paste by themselves will cost you half of what you would pay someone else and it is not that trivial.

False.  Costs around $10 or less for the paste and that's it if you can find someone with a heat gun you can borrow.

I'll give you the 'not that trivial' part though.  It's not bad if you at least somewhat know your way around messing with electronics and watch one of the decent videos out there.

And how many people do you know that have a heat gun lying around ?

And the repair sucks because if it's an old PS3 you have to take out everything to do the repair...( fixing similar issue on 360 is actually easier)

Myself I was lucky the guy that fixed mine used to do that for a living( as a job ofr one of the console makers) and I could see he was serious by the number of 360 he had in his room waiting to be repaired...
