seems that way i think. my fan also wailing when playing U2 MP or SP..

borrow me ur U2 disc then I test it on my Slim

40gb of Japan Set....

seem 40gb is leading

60 GB

to YLOD victims, did you fan become loud before you suffered it?

it always that loud when playing U2..though i'm not trying to blame U2 all the time

to be honest, i cranked up my speaker volume quite high..
so, im not really aware sometimes.

mind retelling the tale of how you got YLOD? if you dont mind that is

for me...

my ps3 hang a lot before kena YLOD..

how old was ur ps3 before it.....

and u still using the same model or new one?

Hrmm.. I'll relate my 'near-death' experience.
My set is a 80G SG model. Bought in Nov 07 if i'm not mistaken.

No problems whatsoever..until I d/l the U2 beta,
Could play 1 round of co-op, but then when I ventured on to a 2nd round...bam! PS3 shut down with the red blinking lights. Pretty terrified so i hard-offed the PS3 from the switch at the back. Switched back on and it was fine, tried to U2 again..same thing.

After that was kinda scared so deleted the demo and that's that.
Few weeks went by, got the game, played about 30 mins, and the same thing happened. On offed the ps3.. tried to play again and it shut down within 5 mins. Well after that yeah, haven't touched it since

Can play all other games fine. That day played PES for 4-5 hours straight.
The fan has been loud before, but it's never switched off.
Uncharted 2 is the only game that does this

So yours is auto shut down, mine is fan when playing U2

so when other games, ur fan wails.

means mine is like second last stage

date of purchase: april 2007

date of RIP: august 2009

still using same 1?

60gb HK model
date of purchase: january 2007

1st symptom of YLOD: Lost planet 2 demo... hang then red blinking light... then resistance 2... ylod afterwards...

revived back last week... died again last nite... uncharted 2 SP after getting 4th treasure...

lol.. i think the fan thingy is normal tbh.
And it only kicks in when i play a game too long.
For u2 however, it kicked in like..immediately! :

No YLOD yet after 2 years but I only play Street Fighter IV on my PS3 40GB(upgraded to 160GB). I convert my DVD movies to video file then copy to hard disk before I watch it. I know the lens will not last long if it is heavily used.
