The YLoD (yellow light of death) can occur if your PS3 overheats (which has less than a 1% chance of happening), however, it won't mean you have to get a new one. The yellow light shows up if it gets too hot (past some temperature), and then it will instantly turn off, showing a yellow light for a bit and then it will prevent you from turning it on for a while (I"ve heard up to a day) and then you'll be able to play it like normal again. So it doesn't really matter at all. |
oh ok then,
so im guessing the average cost is PS3 Slim 120 GB ($300 new, might go down during christmas), HDMI Cable (???), extra controller ($30 - 40), MW2 or Little Big Planet ($50-60)? im still looking for a cheaper PS3 |
There is the 250gb slim if you want, although it costs more. HDMI usually costs around $8 and controllers $45.
