Wow I bought my 80GB phat on october 2008, and it shown early signs on YLOD few months ago. Was so fed-up with the auto-shutdown so I jz bought a new 160GB slim. Slim set 160 I bought for RM950. Includes HDMI cable and one controller. lol.

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.

Well, my PS2 lasted from 2003 until 2007. Hmm... i guess the typical game console would last say 2-3 years, 4 years max if you really took care of it? Unlike the XKotaTigaEnamKosong which lasted me just 1 1/2 years bought since 2007 till 2008. Sheesh

Yeah perhaps I should go & buy the new slim set. But should I buy from the Sony Centre shops or just your typical game shop would be enough? In term of after sales service & warranty?

Most of retail shop selling SG set much cheaper than MY range RM100 and the terms warranty are the same just that pay a nominal transport charge flat and will send the unit to sony singapore for warranty claims .

my ps2 lasted since 2003 until now, LOL~ but many ppl told me that different console have different hardware and different build so they said cant compare LOL~

btw regarding the warranty thingy, ok if u get SG set, it will be cheaper 100 or maybe 200, so wat u nid to do IF there are problems with the ps3, so u hav to send back by paying postage fee maybe 20-50 and u hav to wait due to postage or send to the shop or bla bla thingy then they have to send to SG and wait the procedure bla bla bla again then send to the shop and to u.

For convenient, u pay extra then IF there are problems wit ur MY set then juz send to Malaysia Sony retail shop, then wait, then done adi, then pick up settle... XD

ori slim rm900 can get d

haha bro there is no pirate ps3 slim either... anyway RM900 slim ps3 is SG Set. With this price u cant get any MY set.

is slim memang hot one, my slim is quite hot at the back.

The "Nominal" charge for transportation and service chagre by shop, normally above RM100 to RM200. Online seller, normal charge a RM50 to RM80 service charge and postage bear by buyer........issit worth it???

Let's pray for no problem if get SG set

izit? my 1 not that hot at the back...

usually i think its worth... example u bought a RM900 sg set... IF THERE IS PROBLEM WITH YOUR PS3... like wat u said normal charge 50-80, but u bought original set for 11XX around... it is cheaper 100 bucks around if ntg happened it will be cheaper 200 bucks... but usually wont hav any problem... like my 1st fat ps3 does not hav any problem on the 1st year, my 2nd slim ps3 that sold out has no problem at all juz 1 month over a year and my 3rd slim ps3 near to half year also does not any problem also...

The ylod can be fix?

you can... but eventually its gonna come back. better buy a new one

But after the cleaning and maintenance, it should improve so 'eventually' could be a long time, right?

Anyway the question I have here is: since RM50-80 is the range (someone mentioned above), then is RM100 expensive?

Who can I contact to help me repair my PS3 in the KL area? Someone with a positive track record and is reliable would be great.

never experience b4, but theoritically yes it shuld last even longer. Maybe u can consider come to Subang USJ to make that, deyamato offer repairing service at there...

lol reading all this make me scared now =="...well i juz bought 2nd hand unit from a forumer here...2 years alredi..i see that u guys talk about servicing the PS3 and stuff..how that works?..

ntg much to scare about u juz touch whether izit very hot at the back? if reli hot or if the fan running loud, then u shuld suggest take to maintenance... actually it is quite easy... wat u nid to do is juz take everything out clean it and reapply the thermal. thermal is to transfer heat from the processor or gpu to the heatsink also known as smtg to release the heat so that can maintain the processor in a lower temperature.

you should scared..basically 2 of my previous ps3 already died
