In all seriousness, my 80GB has survived 1 YLOD, I think rather than feeding it a bigger hard drive, it would be a good idea to replace it because it's out of warranty. If it were to die again, I'm screwed

I don't want to bring bad omen, but a friend of mine got his Phat dead after some years and the second day after he replaced it for a Slim, the Slim YLOD'ed on him. He was playing COD without resting the machine though, but I just wanted to say that you never know. Either way, you could stil have the HDD for you and use it for a new machine in the future.

if I buy a new machine, I will have a year long warranty, which is better than what I have now

Can't you just buy a hard drive and install it yourself, copying over your information onto the new drive?

lol, you mistake me for someone competent enough to do that. Shame on you haha.


Is it that difficult? It only took me 2 minutes to replace my hdd.

Upgrade the HDD.

Its all a matter of betting on failure.

Choice 1
Spend hundreds now on a new PS3 when a PS4 is coming out a little over a year from now.

Choice 2
Spend $80 now on a new HDD and upgrade the PS3. Taking a very logical and realistic chance that the PS3 won't break and you can then spend the saved money on a PS4 in a year. Worst case it does break and you can simply buy a cheap used PS3 to last until the PS4 launches.

I never my consoles early so a slim would potentially last years

You have an 80GB PS3 that's afflicted by the YLOD. That's pretty early. IDK, I'd still wager you'll be fine and its far better to buy the HDD and then maybe buy a used PS3 later if needed to hold you over.

But if you hold on to your working PS3 until it dies the death maybe a new slim would be even cheaper in the future. ;)

My mantra is NEVER by electronics used.

my god man, just upgrade your hard drive. I bought a 750gb labtop hardrive for 70euro two years ago and it took an hour to install. There is no need for this thread.

You might as well wait 6days for gamescom.
