My 80GB ps3 is officially going nuts.

Tried playing FFXIII-2 today, and about 30minutes into the game my PS3 just shut downs with 3 beeps, and blinking red light. No yellow light.

I tried loading back the game, and each time I reload from my save file and the game begins, my PS3 dies. No problems in the start screen whatsoever though.

But when I tried other games for more than an hour like FFXIII, Batman:AA, GOW3, Uncharted 3; my PS3 is fine.. But the shutting down also rarely happens when I play Battlefield 3 (PSN version).

Whaz happening eh? shakehead.gif

Could be a sign of YLOD. Let your console cools down. And then back up your data.

p/s: There is a yellow light, it only comes out probably less than 1 sec.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to join you guys on the PS3 phat YLOD users. Mine is MY set 80GB bought in Dec 2008. Bought a second hand Assasin Creed 2 game 2 days ago & suddenly my PS3 froze & auto-shutdown.

Frequently it happens, & it happened to my other games as well. I guess I could say sayonara to this baby?

Sigh, how much is the slim set nowadays?

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.
