ARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!

Descisions I hate them.

Do I get a Slim PS3 or do I get the G25 and Playseat.

I'll end up getting both of them but which one first

Can't be to hard Jase imo, cause you already got a PS3 (or is it broken). so that leaves the G and Playseat.
Must say, together it is the most expensive choice.

The new PS3 Slim add campaign is under way

Paid a visit to my local Game today and they have an offer on for trading in the Original PS3 for the new Slim PS3

If you trade in the 80 or 60 gb versions you get the new Slim PS3 for half price and they also offer reductions in price for the Slim PS3 against the other Original PS3 Versions.

I Just need to find £125 .

Right I got myself a bit of a bargain yesterday .

I walked into my local Tesco's yesterday and they had a PS3 Slim on special offer £229.00 and the other bonus is that my mum works for Tesco's on the Gaming, DVD and CD section there and she gets 10% staff discount.

You do the maths, that makes a pretty cheap PS3 Slim

Bargin mate.

I have to get one now as my PS3 died on me last night.
I turned it on it shut itself down and won't fire up again

Holy Shit Jase, hard luck mate . Although my Original 60gb PS3 is still working fine, the YLOD syndrome has been playing on my mind for some time.

YLOD syndrome???

Isn't it possible to have somekind of maintenance done to our old PS3, to make it last longer?
For instance, I did see some advertizing about putting some new paste between the processor and the cooling unit.

YLOD - Yellow Light Of Death.

A very common occurrence with the early 60GB PS3's; everything fails and all that works is a yellow light on the unit!

It has happened that many times it is simply know as YLOD syndrome.
