Good sir, I've never seen any user on VGChartz with those ideas you've just proposed. I'm not sure why no one has thought of this before. Thank you for informing us of this new news. I salute you.

Love it.

 

And to anyone on here that says there is no comparison of PS3 YLOD to the 360's RROD, consider the following:

 

  • Do you know of ANYONE that still has a 60GB launch PS3 that HAS NOT had to be repaired at least once? - I don't.
  • 360 RRoD: Covered by 3 year warranty
  • PS3 YLOD: Not covered by any warranty. Repairs at $100+ each failure.
I think if the YLOD was actually brought to the media's attention on the same scale as the 360's RRoD, you'd be suprised at the high failure rate of launch PS3's as well. Like others have said, the fact that MS covered theirs with a warranty while Sony never did makes the differences cancel out when it comes to the old "I bought a new console when my old one broke" arguments.

 

Yes, 3 people i know of that bought a ps3 at launch are still running. I'd have mine still running if it wasn't for it getting stolen.

I've watched 4 xbox 360's break right before my eyes. Not to mentions the countless other RROD at walmarts and targets.

The scale of RROD was massive and isn't in anyway comparable to YoD. Not to mention MS only gave out a 3 year warranty when they were going to be forced to recall and remove the 360 from the market. Plus that only covered RROD and not the other dozen problems that caused the 360 to fail. So if you xbox died of something else. Then it wasn't covered.
