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.

 


Uh yeah me!  Also a couple of my friends.  LOL the YLOD was maybe a fith as bad as the RROD, and they did come with a 1 year warranty.  If it didn't break in the first year, you are fine.

 

Actually one of my friends did get a YLOD, and even though it was out of warranty the SONY rep said he would cover it.
