Can't Beat The Yellow Light...

Follow @DollFishu Karma has come and bit me right in the @$$ yet again. What a great way to start one's day.
Let me tell you how it all started....

I was ecstatic yesterday to have at last given myself the time of day to actually go to the gameshop to get my copy of "Lost Planet 2". Another random guy was buying it as well, except he was asking for the Xbox version, that's when I started to snicker and point at the infamous "red ring of death" and how much of an Xbox fanboy he is. You know, I was just having a bit of fun (since I'm a Sony fanatic xD )and the guy took it like a sport.

So anyways, I go back home, prepared the popcorn and cheetos, punched my bro for taking my seat, tore the plastic cover from the game cover, threw the game cover somewhere, and finally turned ON my PS3, and...........

*BEEPBEEEBEEEBEEP*

I blinked. My PS3 had just turned off on its own. It flashed from Red to Yellow to Red back again. Ok, maybe there is something wrong with the supply plug, so I changed it to the other supply plug and got mini-electrocuted for jamming a pen inside, but that's besides the point. I go sit again, turned on my PS3...again, and.......

*BEEPBEEEBEEEBEEP*

That's when I went into full-berserk-mode and started cussing like a sailor looking for a Prozac. Apparently, as I came to find out, my good ol' PS3 had been infected with its very own "Yellow Light of Death"....similar to the Xbox's RROD.

Yeah yeah...laugh as you may...my blood has already boiled over a thousand times; I might as well have been a dormant volcano (-_-)

I have always thought of the "yellow light of death" as a myth fabricated by Xbox fanboys. I've heard the horror stories online but never ever had anyone I knew that actually had it happen to them. I was somewhat like an ostrich, as long as I don't see it then it doesn't exist!

Anyways, I went today to the vendor that sold me the PS3 in the first place - albeit 4 years ago - and said that he can get it fixed within a week. What hurt me more is the fact that not only will I stay game-less for a week but I have to pay an extra 200 bucks just to get it fixed. Oh yeah, the guy also told me that the YLOD might come back someday to haunt me again, since fixing it will only prolong it's inevitable 'death'....he tells me this after I payed the hefty amount with shaking hands and (now) empty wallet.

Now...all I can do now is wait....even though patience is not my forte.

Yup...waiting...

Still...waiting...

Waiting.....
