PS3's RRoD: YLOD

[wraggster]

Everyone knows about the Xbox 360 RROD (red ring of death) thanks to some 33% of games consoles getting this problem, now we have proof of the Sony PS3 death with a so called YLOD (yellow light of death).

Cool.

First now, console has been out for a while. Damn better than the 360.

He overheated the console and the PS3 is just auto-shutting down.

Thats pretty funny, I wonder if it will be has severe has RROD?

[DPyro]

It's not a problem though, its just overheated and auto-shuts down so that the PS3 doesn't get damaged.

Not likely, what made RRoD so severe is that the 360 has a 33-40% failure rate, as reported by many reputable websites (PC Gamer for instance).

The Playstation 3 has 0.2% failure rate.

ooh! scary! first incident i've heard of after a year and three months on the market! QUICK! EVERYONE! HIDE THE CHILDREN! puh-leaze this is nowhere near as catastrophic as the RROD

Whatever this is, It makes me reassured that I bought the extended 2 year warranty.

I've had this happen to me before, but that was because my room temperture was really hot and I was using the Playstation 3 console for ages. Like $n!pR says, it's not really a big deal to worry about, it's just a safety feature to prevent damage to the console. Also, I doubt the console has a yellow LED, it's just the green and red ones being on at the same time making that colour (I could be wrong but it's more likely that).
