so i know what allot of u are thinking, it doesn't exist, or never happens unless u put ur ps3 in an insulated box and let it cook itself.
but sadly, it did happen to me, in an open area with atleast a foot of clearance to open air in all directions with no vents obscured, its really sad since now my GH3 is stuck in there.
but luckily sony are pretty good, and i just had to make a quick call, and i'll be back on my feet in a few weeks, still a pisser though, so i thought i'd vent here... - Mar 12, 2008 12:06 pm GMT

[/QUOTE]Red light doesn't mean it is broken for PS3. That just means it overheated. (Shouldn't you just wait till it cools down?)
It turns yellow for PS3 if it broke.

FORCA BARCA!!! The Messiah...MESSI is here!
Sorry to hear that. It happened to my dad's PS3, but it was because he didn't place it in an area with good ventilation.

I was just wondering, if someone returns a launch 60GB system - do they get the 80GB returned if Sony can't send a refurbished 60GB?
I would get very annoyed if I got a 40GB as replacement for the 60GB.

agreed, this is just starting SW propaganda.

I'm not saying this is impossible or that it did not happen to you, but your profile speaks volumes about your cred. Why is it that one of your only posts is about a failing PS3? Have you posted once about anything on you PS3 experience? No.
Sorry, these "My console broke threads" drive me nuts. Its hard to judge who is really sincere.
- Apr 4, 2008 11:54 am GMTI dont think its that big of a problem, the PS3 still has a .2% failure rate and only like 15 people have actually posted about a real dead PS3 most are just fake
- Apr 4, 2008 1:07 pm GMTI am so ahppy my PS3 isnt broken i dont know what i would do without it

I think they were referring to the TC. Don't fret man, it's not worth getting that upset over.
Edit: Nevermind, just checked, this is your second post. TC has many more posts... not that that necessarily makes him anymore credible
He also hasn't informed us of which model he had as was requested earlier. I'm also curious as to how the 60gb models are replaced.Edited on Apr 6, 2008 12:04 pm GMT Edited 3 total times.[QUOTE="mili_musa"]so what you all are trying to say is that since i post once that i'm lying???
