...my PS3 yellow lights within the first 10-15 minutes. Unbelievable. It's a 60GB model, this is the second time it's happened with me now. Do the older fat PS3s have a bigger problem with this than the newer slim ones? I'm thinking of seeing if they will replace it with a newer one, but I don't want to lose my PS2 gaming ability...

I have a couple of PS2 games that I still play on a fairly regular basis(due to being too broke to buy new games...). I'd hate to have to give them up, but I'm tired of this crap. I don't like having to spend $150(now $300) on a $600 investment. Calling Sony tomorrow and figuring something out.

I would throw that ps3 out of window if that happened to me :P But yeah, Uncharted games push the hardware to the limit, my PS3 slim gets louder when playing these games. Just like LA Noire.

LOL Believe me, plans are afoot to turn it into a bludgeoning device...or a doorstop.

My fatty died earlier this year and I fixed it. Then it broke again. I bought a slim. You think you'll miss PS2 games but you won't. Besides almost every single one of my PS2 games has had an HD re-release.
