    Oh man that sucks!
    This is actually the first death of a Playstation I've read about. My Xbox360 suffered the soul crushing RRoD (Red Ring of Death) a while back. But because it was a manufacturing problem Microsoft fixed it free of charge. It's all good now, but the prospect of it happening again always chews at the back of my mind when I play a game. The Playstation 3 I've got (which came as a bonus with a TV) works like a charm and is sooooo much quieter compared to the 360.
    Anyway you have my condolences mugen shiyo :redface:

    Thank you, thank you. The days seem longer when she's not around, lol.

    Yeah, my XBOX actually worked like a charm. So did my Playstation until I sent it to my brother and he seemed to use it for dust storage. I should have opened him up and fixed him instead :p

    I understand. The day I boxed my 360 up I prayed I'd see it again, lol.

    Oh yeah mine worked fine for about four years until BAM! I'm just grateful I didn't lose a game, I hear they can be scratched up when the thing chucks a spasm, lol. Hmm, I think you've learnt a valuable lesson. Never lend anyone anything valuable...ever. And he totally deserves it :p

    Haha! 'Gaystation'. I'm easily amused.

    Anyway, that does suck. I've had my 360 since 2005, and it still makes me proud. (I kindasortmaybe want the newer version, though. Just because I like the color black.) My two brothers have a 360, too, but they've managed to mess it up due to lack of care (cramped location, dusty surface, leaving the console on for hours). Two years ago, my little brother got a PS3 and currently alternates between the 360 and the PS3. Best of both worlds.

    He won't even let me play one game on that thing. Geez.

    @ Midnight, Damn right, lol.

    @ Boomfog, yeah, that's exactly how my brother messed my playstation up. I think the only game I ever played on 360 was all the Halo games, and mostly on line. Regarding that, I'm guilty of playing for hours also.

    My playstation got the YLOD recently, but I just went out and bought a new slimline because the one I had had been beaten/bounced off the floor/played until it was on the verge of bursting into flames/ and just generally behaving like a noisy hairdryer. The new one I have doesnt seem to over heat and it's much quieter. Thats always a plus!

    Lol. Yeah, your station should get a restraining order from you. Someone told me I should get the slim but I figured I could save a buck. Almost worked, too. Right now I don't really care for a playstation. I found this awesome game online called League of Legends. Totally free and ten times as addictive.
