YLOD = yellow light of death.

it usually happens to fat ps3 after 2 to 3 years of usage.

slim ps3 got less chance of ylod.

hello guys.....need to ask few questions and some advice......currently rite now my ps3 cant read blu ray game disc...ive done some research that this may cause from faulty lens.......my question is, how much to repair or replace the lens ??......do i have to send it to sony centre or a normal game shop??....which is more cheaper?....the thing thats afraid me is that i bought this ps3 seconhand but the ps3 is only 1 year old when i bought it and also im not sure it is a MY or SG ps3  .......sony centre would charge 30% labor charges to repair........sony really disappoints me though.......i thought sony products tend to last.........my past ps2 last more better la......... mine is 60gb version.......

it's your own fault for buying second hand ps3. why did you think the first owner wanted to sell it anyway? they give all kinds of excuse like not enough time to play or need money. they sell it because their ps3 got some kind of problem and hope guys like you won't notice it until it breaks down.

i am sorry you have to learn it the hard way about buying second hand ps3. you can try to pm GamersFamilia for ps3 repairs.

Hi all,

Just became a proud owner of a PS3 320GB roughly 1 month ago.
Enjoying FF13, Bayonetta & Little Big Planet 2 now.
These are wonderful games & I believe more wonderful stuff are to come.

But...I just found out last week, something which I would call a disaster of a revelation...
I hav not owned a playstation console b4 (not even de PSone).
But I played lots of PSone games on fren's console n renting it at game shops.
That's how I got hooked onto the FF bandwagon (FF7, 8 & 9).
Being poor, I could not afford the PS2.
And so I had to bite my teeth everytime a new FF game came out. And so it was with FF10, X-2 & 12.
I missed them, but I knew I would play them someday...even on the next gen console.
And here I m, naively believing that all PS3s are able to play PSone & PS2 games (given the more powerful hardware, it should b a piece of cake).
Running FF10 on the PS3 would b like running Starcraft on today's quad core pc!

But hell no...the PS3 can only play PS3 and PSone games.
Yes, u read it right, the PS3 can't play any of the PS2 games.
What kind of shitty backward compatibilty is this?!
*
The first generation of ps3 consoles were backward compatible with ps2 games. For reasons known only to sony, they took out ps2 backward compatibility later and hence forth, all ps3 manufactured until today can only play ps1 games.

If Sony had made the PS3 not compatible wif PSone games, but still supported PS2 games, I can still understand bcoz older games might b obsolete.
But f***, it go & support the older generation instead of the last one!
Discovering this pieces of news is like buying a bluray player and it tells u u can play bluray discs & CDs only, u can't play DVDs!!!!!!

Arghhh...! Crap u Sony!
*
you are cursing sony and you still bought a ps3.. doh.gif

not everyone is over the moon about ps2 games like you.

one of the reasons that sony took out ps2 compatiblity is because ps2 is still selling strong world wide and they said if you wanna play ps2 games, go do it on the ps2.. rolleyes.gif

depends on how you use ps3. if you play 24/7 like some no life loser it will sure die.

the maximum number of psn id you can make is 16.

no, sony will ban your ps3 according to the MAC address. so don't even think of trying anything funny unless you plan to be offline for the rest of your life.
