It's interesting to see how many people actually read the post before responding. I bet alot of you only read maybe the first 2 paragraphs and assumed that it was an entire post blaming the YLOD on mistreatment. However if you had actually finished reading the post. There was a line at the bottom that said if you still kept it nice and clean and treated it well, and it still broke down, THEN look at sony.. but appearantly that line got...

I did not mean it in that way, I know there are some out there that just have faulty equipment that ended up failing despite their best efforts. I thought I had worded it like that but I was wrong.   But I have seen alot of systems die from mistreatment and then people blame the makers of the systems. Well, you're relatively new. May I suggest you do some reading...

For example I heard stories of peoples harddrives pooping the bed and thats why they got the YLoD. So yea not sure that its just temperature and that its really like a crippling red flag, saying whoa now I'm not gonna tell you whats wrong with me but something is.. so good luck fixing me.   Hi A_Myrf,...

Are you telling me I kicked it and let layers of dust build on it.   I had the refurb fail too. I didn't baby it though. I cleaned the dust and all like you should and it did not move from the shelf since the day it was put there. It had plenty...

well some peoples opinions just got sh*t on there hahaha and thanks who ever it was who backed me on the general hardware thing for the YLoD.   It's probably easiest to say theres a bit of both that happens. yea some people could take better care of their ps3s but for others it doesnt matter its faulty. Good luck finding out some statistics on that though.  

 I treat me ps3 fairly well but it feels very warm at times, is that of playing too much call of duty? haha.........  im just hoping that it doesnt break any time soon due to overheating

Same for me, every electronic I own looks flawless because I've always taken ridiculously good care of my stuff. You'd swear my PS3 was brand new if you took it out of a box.
