so if i'm a hardcore player then i shuld change the thermal often, btw how long ur ps3 last?

yeah tats i heard somewhere else.. tats y i dont do tat anymore except i being forced to do so...

i dont reli get wat u mean at this part...

owh i heard tat b4, btw i heard tat their refurbished ps3 still hav a lot of problem even in ps3 fat or slim... not worth to get it then...

=_=''' u sounds like... anyway ur is fat or slim? 250GB takes 4 hours ++ tat is quite fast, mine 160GB to another 160GB PS3 takes almost from midnight until evening... =_=''

wow u have so many games + HDTV + Altec Lansing speaker if i'm not mistaken... + another PS3 =_=''' or juz bought?, tat time i only hav 1 PS3 + limited edition... once it is YLOD i was like OMGWTF!!! Spend 1XXX like tat spoiled adi =_=''' btw how long does it last?

owh ic at least ur fat buddy sick = half faulty mine instantly dead =_=''' anyway is around tat time lar, mine also around 2-3 years... damn sad... heart pain spend so much on this stupid console. btw wow Xbox360 as well =_=''' i only hav PS3... btw I saw Mariah Carey LOL~

lol~ i played MGS4, but my cousin lend me to play tat... XD wanna buy 1 for collection

some ppl say yes some ppl say no, perhaps u can ask deyamoto for it, anyway i think the best cooler is ur room temperature,so how to make the room cooler? air-cond... lol

wow if tat is the case tat fat ps3 serve u for 4-5 years adi, at least better than us...

i not very sure bout tat, because 1 of my fren, he is super rich he got a home theater room of coz wit aircond as well, so everytime he play he on his aircond and his PS3 still working fine from PS3 juz released until NOW... but he not tat often play, because he got every kind of consoles and handheld, so it seperate his gaming time in different consoles and handheld

so means firmware makes differences? or game make differences?

urm depends on the problem for more enquiry u can ask deyamato...

LOL~ my fat fixed for the 3-4 times adi, ytd juz started to play a game and pop out a notification said overheating and the light keep blinking but the game still running then gone... LOL~



Anyway I heard rumor said that PS4 is coming this year... Perhaps tahan for this year then get PS4? LOL~

owh means not going to release tat soon yet? LOL~

Haha, my fat PS3 never giv any notification, last time it juz shut down and never being able to start back the machine even after 1 day cooldown, then fixed it adi, played for few weeks, problem come again and the machine still can start after it shutdown itself, but it wont last, then few days later, cant start at all... LOL~ this is the 1st time i saw the notification, it still can start, but i bet after few days the machine will juz back to YLOD state and no longer being able to start back...

yeah i noe, so is the game which cause YLOD or newer firmware cause YLOD?

My ps3 spoil coz of playing mass effect 2 tat time, SOMEMORE tat time weather was very hot as well my room.

Heavy rain, i dont think so, while dark soul is possible

Yes my fat ps2 even lasting then my frens ps2 slim

yeah exactly... they hav to do like tat to earn more...

Yes this is y cooling system needed for electronics

Yes most fat ps3 spoiled around 3 years.

Yes my ps3 can play non stop either, but the fan is super load and i thought my machine started to have problem

Wat i think is not the heat release efficiently, is the slim generate lesser heat then fat.. Tat is also why the fan is not tat fast to release the heat

Slim ylod is a very nad aign, btw how long u used?

Wow ur ps3 last quite long...

Yeah i not sure bout the reflow, but isn't reballing is a better way to fix the ps3?

no idea at all... Lol

but still compare to other console, ps3 durability is better, i heard a lot rumours said tat xbox360 spoil easily than ps3, tat is y nobody cares about ps3, because they think ps3 is good enugh compare to xbox360

tats great ^^

i not sure bro, but my suggestion is, IF, like i said IF ur PS3 FAT still working well now, plz sell it out now and get a slim ps3.

I think FFXIII-2 used a lot of the graphic performance and cause more heat and more easily shut down...

FAT ps3 as well?

yes exactly u can bring to someone to reflux or reflow or reballing, but my suggestion is get a new 1...

like i mention b4, i think ffxiii-2 consume a lot graphic performance and cause more heat tat will make the ps3 shut down easily, like using a computer, when ur computer too hot, it will automatically shut down...

juz get a new 1...

yeah exactly... maybe juz a cheap fixing will do...

juz get a slim... no problem...

i heard a lot ppl said tat FFXIII-2 shut down in juz awhile for the fat... not sure is the game problem or the console cannot tahan the game?

ur phat can play ffxiii-2 without closing down?

yeah, but i think urs still in early stage, mine straightly shutdown and unable to open anymore even after i leave it few hours...

try giv it as cool as possible is wat i think, some ppl said make it stand vertical can let it cooler and stay away from everyside 4CM if i not mistaken if possible as far as possible from anything, especially wall, for my fren he straightly use fan blew from behind to inside and wat i think this method is very bad, because based on theoritically it will juz blew all the hot air back inside and cause the things inside more hot, but wat my fren said it is much cooler, anyway is up to u to decide wat to do wit it ^^ this is juz my suggestion, i did vertically and give a special space for it... anyway after warranty each year u can take to deyamato to maintain by changing the thermal, i not sure this will totally prevent YLOD, but at least it will help at least a bit.

LOL~ nvm then...

wow how much u bought tat set? anyway i've a fren tested FFXIII-2 on his 5 years old phat PS3 machine and it is still working like charm no problem at all, seriously i'm so curious how his ps3 work so long envy... =_=''' i'm so poor but hav to change ps3, he so rich dont nid to change at all...

owh icic, anyway sony malaysia sold fullset with tat price or without the game and soundtrack?

woah maybe u shuld send to someone check it before anything happened to it, mine juz bought only, but mine very cool, juz below the ps3 only hot and the hot is juz little hot only... anyway how old is ur ps3?

of coz, tats y i said have to make a distance between the wall to let ventilation better...

=_=''' swt

graphic artifacts? like? didn't heard this issue b4...

owh cheh... of coz sony centre confirm will sell more expensive than outside, but there is always a benefit to get it from Malaysia sony centre tat is u pay extra 100-200 u will get warranty from malaysia sony centre...

for computer i can confirm is GPU going to die, for PS3 maybe is the same... XD

like deyamato said... ^^

yeah this is wat i heard most ppl...

yeah but at least u still got early sign only, mine straightly ylod and cant start at all...

i did my research on ylod b4, i heard there is this guy said tat he made a special ventilation for his ps3 and because he dont 1 2 update firmware so he on his ps3 all the way until now i guess? and its working i guess?

i hav no idea about this, maybe u can do research bout this.. XD btw with remote play on u wont be able to play ps3 game, only normal purpose in xmb like listening to music/look out gallery/web surfing/watch video... those stuff only...

bro i understand how u feel...

if it can last fix it, but usually it cant... juz get a new 1 instead of wasting money to fix it...

usually is 200 around outside, u can quote with deyamato about tat... anyway this problem might come anytime, maybe few week? few days? few months? maybe a year? the longest i heard it can last is a year...


very good question... i dunno... XD

hey bro not bad at least urs lasted like around 3 years also? slim is around 900 for sg set brand new or my set around 1000.
