Love how everyone gets so worried .. :lol:

If it breaks it has NOTHING to do with the Firmware update ..

CanadianCR? :shock:

And yeah I'm worried about this, really worried. I've had my 60GB for almost 3 years and it hasn't had a problem. If it were to break shortly after installing FW 3.0 to it, then I'd have to believe that may have had something to do with it.

:lol: Me? No .. no idea what you're talking about ..

Well would it make you feel better if I told you my Launch 60GB system has been updated since it's release and I haven't had one issue ..

No americahellyeah and CR both had a Canadian tag in thier sig

The biggest problem with updates breaking ps3s is losing connection to psn while downloading then your ps3 freezes and before thier HDD light turns off they'll turn off thier ps3 thus corrupting thier OS's

Haha sure, whatever you say.

Anyway, so your 60GB hasn't had a problem since the update. Great. I hope mine doesn't either. All I'm saying is, if it were to YLOD shortly after applying 3.00 to it, I'm going to think it may have had something to do with it, even if it really didn't. :P

:lol: Fair enough .. but I also believe my PS3 will never die .. she still purrs like a kitten ..

If mine ever does go I'll accept it, and won't really blame it on anything except for the fact that it's an electronic and these things happen ..

An interesting theory, but my 60g model is still going strong and was purchased 1 month after the PS3 orginally came out.

I Don't Think Sony Would Do Something Like That At All.

Well, I hope it doesn't become a problem for any PS3 owner. I figure the people that look up YLOD fixes are within a small % for PS3 owners that had it happen to them. Sadly, I'm part of that small % :( I figure now is a good time as any to get a Slim. I just don't trust refurbs, lol

A refurb would work better than what you have right now.

True, true...But I already dismantled it to get CoD4 out of the blu-ray drive. I paid $60 for it, and Gamestop's offer is $60 for broken PS3s towards the Slim. I would rather keep the game than get $60 and lose a game completely. But thats me :) I am gonna miss my 60gb, but it wasn't gonna last forever, thats life, lol.

You can ask them to take it out, thus getting your game and $60 of a slim.

that wasnt meant to be taken seriously. I was planning on getting the slim anyways but it wouldnt have been soon. but i guess if mine breaks down ill just buy the slim sooner than expected.

3.0 is cool - stop beating up on it - course its not killing of older PS3's & and the extras theyve added will not be increasing heat output to the extent of failure!
