My friends, it has happened...

Amidst the mounting frustration with Sony and the PSN, the one joy I had was still being able to play some of my games offline... until this morning...

I got hit with the yellow light of death.

I thought about it. I don't think I can do it though.
This is seriously a big pile of crap that Sony is putting us through.

I have a buddy with an extra xbox 360 slim, he offered to trade me my console for one of his, and he wants going to see if he can get it fixed, and I think I'm probably going to do it.

Of course, that means I'll be on XBOX now, instead of ps3...

you have to back it up to an external hard drive, which you have to have done before the YLOD.

Pretty much everything I've done is gone, and I'm making my peace with it.
Time to start a new life on the xbox...

This happened to me a year or two ago with my launch 60gig; I lost just about everything.

If you want a new PS3 but don't want to pay for it you can do something I recommended awhile ago:
[mention][/mention] wrote:I'd have cleaned up my PS3 as best as possible, removing all dust from the entire system and polishing it up a bit. Then I'd have taken it to a big retailer like Walmart and looked for a new system that was the exact model as my old one.

After that I'd buy it and take it to the car, there I'd swap out my broken model for the new one, placing the broken one inside the new model's box. I'd go home and hook up the new one and then a few hours later I'd drive back to the store and say that the system I just bought didn't work. I'd push for a refund on it and try to get my money back.
The worst possible outcome to this is them turning you away and making you look cheap in front of strangers that you'll never see again.

I remember reading that.

Honestly, guys. Most of my friends are on xbox anyway, and I've been getting closer and closer to trading the ps3 for the xbox over that last few months.

I had an older generation console, and I'm being offered a new 120 gig xbox 360 slim, and I'm going to take it. I don't have to pay any money, he's letting me just swap console for console.

Someday down the line, I'll probably get a ps3 again. Possibly even later this year...

You don't owe any of us an explanation. Lol

Do whatever needs to be done in order for you to enjoy yourself. If you spend a few hundred on something but you don't enjoy it then what you have is an expensive irritant.
