It is the YLOD, and yes his explanation is exactly right, and it isnt as common as the RROD, so they do not repair it for free.
And I accept it too, because I am quite the sniper at most games. Although I can't no scope worth a crap.

No! What did it die of? I have wanted one forever, but if the PS3 had epic problems like the red ring of death for the x-box, I might have to reconsider it... PS3 failure rate isn't nearly as high has the 360. Also, the new PS3 models have a significantly lower failure rate then the older ones. I'd recommend getting the Slim PS3. It's a great machine, can do everything that the phat PS3 can do, and for a cheaper price. Ha, well once its fixed you will have to beat my sniping skills! So far you have to drop someone in less then 5 shots from 2.4 miles away. Also you will need to shoot the pilot out of a blackhawk helicopter in less then two shots while its in the air, moving. And yes, I have witnesses to this awesomeness, though it was mostly luck! That's hardly a fair challenge. The Blackhawk was pure luck and if it weren't for navi you would have never even seen that guy 2.4 miles away, let alone shot him. *coung*after multiple tries with him standing still the whole time*cough*

Also it took about two shots just to get the range. I will also say that shooting guys out of helicopters with the sniper rifle may be hard but it does take skill...considerably more skill then luck I might add!

Lol no, but to be quite honest, if they took it out, it means that little good came from it and few tried to defend it. But the current phats are backwards compatible.

I thought the slim wasn't backwards compatible. No, but BC hasn't been apart of the PS3 for some time. They stopped making BC PS3's about a year before the slim came out. If you want BC in your PS3 you have to buy used and then you fall back into the risk of YLOD that comes with the older models.

I will also say that shooting guys out of helicopters with the sniper rifle may be hard but it does take skill...considerably more skill then luck I might add! Oh, sorry, he'd move around a few feet from time to time to get a better shot on someone... But it still stands that you would have never made that shot if navi hadn't spotted the guy. In order to make it fair you'd have to fly navi out to act as a spotter for aridic and princedee, and I don't think you've got the money for that.

lol I wouldn't need a spotter, just a bit of time to adjust to the distance blur.
