Oh dammit, I may have received the dreaded YLOD on my PS3 last night, but I'm not sure. I was playing last night before I went to sleep and I usually leave my PS3 on for the hour before it automatically shuts down (I've heard it helps cool it down some after a long gaming session). Well, I didn't see the console turn off last night because I was sleeping, but when I woke up this morning, I noticed there was a flashing red light instead of the usual constant red light on my PS3. For now, I have my machine unplugged and just sitting there, so I haven't tested it out, but it may already be gone :(

Luckily, that month free of PS+ came just in time, as I have a majority of my saves backed up and if it's indeed dead, then I only probably lost maybe 5 hours or so on Sengoku Basara (which is still inside the PS3). I believe the only save I couldn't back up to the cloud storage was my Afrika save, since it's really big for some reason.

EDIT -- Yep, it's the damn YLOD! I'm going to keep trying various methods of trying to get my disc out, but until then, I'm stuck with no PS3.

EDIT#2 -- I managed to get the disc out by employing the "hair dryer" method, since I couldn't do anything else besides taking it apart. It works, but I'm not going to push it and then have it die on me continuously, so I'll probably play my cousin's PS3 until I get a new one.

Sorry for you ,man. That sucks.

But damn its like everybody's PS3 is giving YLOD.

WTH os wrong with this generation?

PS - Im so scared for my PS3!

PS2 - What was your PS3 model, MasterVG?
