Wii? PC? or one of the other options?

Wait for the new Windows operating system to make an entrance and build yourself a nice gaming pc.

Hmm...I know I posted in the other thread that what you were getting sounded similar to mine, but I didn't get the YLOD. Although I agree that it seems to be happening more and more, according to the official PS3 board.

Yup. Almost all 20/60 gigs too. Discontinued for a reason I guess.

Ill buy your broken PS3 off you for 50 bucks and pay for shipping if you do not want it.

i too have the ylod. did the online service request to get my ps3 coffin. funny thing is if i had known about the problem i would have backed up my files. lesson learned

I had enough for replacements with almost enough left over for the Wii and that's just from what I traded in today. Didn't do anything else yet other than the replacements as I'm still waiting for my complaint to be responded to. Also ended up with 8 entries in the $500 gift card thing they do there and only 70 people entered to this point wich of course makes the whole thing come full circle should I win,well -$50 I guess but still close. I was hoping to hang onto games this gen.

I recently built an HTPC with a dual bluray/hd dvd drive, on board HDMI out, and a Phenom X4 9950 processor with all the trimmings except for a vid card for ~$400.

Don't forget to add in the cost of buying an OS for the system.
