Everything starts at something, a light, a hope, a future.
But everything has an ending, a debriefing at some point.
It's with sadness that I bid farewell to my loved possession.
The hours, days, months that we enjoyed our journey
through gaming, movies and more has not been in vain.
I've took good care of you, and you responded me same.

And It all ends with it, this light that once took us in,
made us laugh, made us cry, especially made me cry.
This light has now turned from glaring bright green.
To bleak yellow and lastly cold crimson red...

You will forever be in my memory,
not as just some hardware,
but as a big part in my life.


IN MEMORY OF
A CONSOLE

THAT SHOWED
ME HAPPINESS

2006-2011

Mine still lives. Except it's a 60GB(got it a year after the PS3 was released) and I've done maintenance on it in the last few months. So I don't see it dying any time soon.

Sorry to hear that another PS3 console has gone to the heavens. Mine might be up there in 5-10 years if I don't maintain it.
 
Mine was the a 60GB version so it pains me that I can't play any more of my PS2 games or read my saves because there is no way to copy saves from PS2 games from PS3 to PS2 anymore.
 
I am so lucky my ps3 never died. Why is everyone else having console issues and I've never had a problem? You must be leaving it on for 24+ hours pretty often.
 
My very first PS3 that I got 2 years ago for my birthday died 7 months later Christmas day when I got some new games. Luckily it still had warranty.
Got a refurbished one from Sony. This one lasted 14 months.

I played on my PS3 about 4 hours on average per day (some days I didn't play at all etc etc.) so I would say this is light gaming considering how long others play. I kept it ventilated very well.

I repaired the second PS3, but haven't played it since.
 
Another fatty bites the dust, sorry to here that.

I feel I have to be so careful with my PS3 that I don't really even use it anymore, BR drive broke and had to be fixed. I bet if I blink it will YLOD! :nervous:
 
I'm sorry for your loss. A moment of silence.

...

I'm knocking on wood that my original 20GB model holds up. GameStop had a few on blowout briefly after they were discontinued (around $250 at the time), so I snapped one up. I love having a full PS2 and PS1 baked into one console and would hate to lose that.
 
I'm glad I bought a Slim. More Phats are dying every day. Too bad, would have gotten a phat because of the backwards compatibility if not for the stability issues. Well, I have a PS2 anyway. Funny that with them, it was the other way around-my friends mostly have dead or half dead Slims or a rare, but working Phat. I have a launch Phat that has been serving me valiantly. I know how to clean the lense and most other types of maintanence.
 
My '06 PS3 died in '09, my '07 PS3 died in '10, then I sent it to Sony a month ago and now it works again. You can probably do the same.

I'll never buy a slim, the old model is infinitely better as far as I'm concerned.

I just had to change to a Slim (320GB) a couple of weeks ago (also YLOD on my EU launch model), I actually like her more. She's so quiet, not to mention the power consumption and actually pretty neat design.

I didn't leave it on 24h but it has been quite hot and thunder weather all the time so the air has been really thick.

EDIT:
Did some baking and thought I should try some PS3 cake, so I baked it and it works now.
For how long, who knows...
Backed up everything I could.

Update:
The PS3 is on it's second baking now.
It died 20 minutes after I backed what could be saved and hasn't been on since then.
but today I opened the BD so I could take out my GT5 that had been sleeping inside it all this time.
But this time I'll run it without the PS3 cover or BD or Memorycard reader.
I guess it will boot halt but meh.
I rather spend $228 on a new PS3 than to return it without any certainty to get a new one.
Yup, PS support isn't $150 here.
Because Sony is on the same IQ level as Steam and still think $1=1€/1£/10kr SEK/999 Rupees.
OK the Rupees from Zelda isn't really true (derp).
Oh!
The oven is ready.
Tasty baking time, see ya.

Well I managed to get it to live again but I'm not using the plastic cover at all so it's naked on the table and currently updating so I can log in and deactivate this PS3 from PSN.

My PS3 didn't get YLOD however it stopped playing all games aside from HP3 and Fifa (it had other issues such as I can't quit game ,constant freezing....etc)So I decided to call her dead

However Yesterday I said what the hell ,I'll give GT5 ago and It freaking worked yes It won't upgrade to Spec 2.0 or do anything involving online but atleast i have something to do.
I really have fallen in love with that thing and when the time comes I wouldn't really let her go .She will have a place in my heart without it I probably wouldn't have been a memmber here . /cool story bro
