My PS3 got the YLOD the other day!!!

[peewee1460]

i've had my N64 for 13 years and i still play it. ****er works like new.

[???]

I thought ps3's never broke?

Of course one or two will have problems, just like any other electronic product.

I work for playstation tech support and if you do req a sup its a 50/50 that they might waive the fee. The "YLOD" as its called exists but sony doesnt go by that name all the yellow light means is that theres a temp issue with the system but anyways gl with that.

Thank you, is that 'request a supervisor'? any tips on what i can use to convince them? I mean i do not mistreat my system, i look after it carefully.

12 thousand people (that Sony are admitting to)

**** like this is bound to happen with new technology, especially when it comes to video game consoles.

Does that make it any easier to deal with? Absolutely not.

Call 'em back and request a supervisor, be very polite and try to explain it all the best you can to him. Hopefully that'll get you somewhere.

I do know that there's a growing internet movement of PS3 owners who've been stricken with the YLOD. Sony should set up some sort of customer support for this issue like Microsoft did with the 360.

Granted the 360's failure rate is a lot higher than the PS3, but I've been hearing an awful lot of reports about YLOD as of late and it sounds like it's starting to occur in larger numbers.

So it'd be best for them to get on the ball with correcting the problem now, rather than wait for it to potentially blow up in their face.

Microsoft lost an awful lot of customers by trying to pretend the problem didn't exist. Sony would be best suited to learn from their mistake.

Gonna ring Sony now, wish me luck.

Are a lot of PS3's now breaking?

Nowhere near the amount of failures for the 360, but yes ; the amount of PS3's experiencing YLOD is increasing.

A friend of mine's and my sister's bf's have both YLOD'd in the past month.

And there's been an increase in reports of YLOD on the internet.

Of course the YLOD problem will increase.. I don't think it will ever reach the amount of RROD... in my opinion... Just too much Epic Fail on the 360.

Is the ****box still playing up?
