NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

On the month of December 2010 I lost a dear friend of mine. We spent so many hours playing together and his time was tragically cut short. It was so unexpected. He contracted the YLOD and drifted to the eternal slumber. I will miss you PS3.

Yes my Playstation died and as a gamer this is not a good thing and if you share my passion for games you should now how I feel. PROFOUND SADNESS!

What a time to break down as well. I bought Scott Pilgrim vs The world, waiting on a pre-ordered copy of Marvel vs Capcom 3 and waiting for Hard Corps to be available on PSN for download. I waiting in anticipation and I was looking forward to the next few months of nothing but high class games. Then tragedy struck. While half way through watching Scott Pilgrim my PS3 suddenly shut down. Thinking it was just a loose connection I played around with the wires but to no avail my PS3 just did not want to turn on but instead gave me a flashing yellow light followed by 3 beeps and a constant red light. At this point I knew that it was my PS3’s time.

This happened after a course of unfortunate events, my radio got stolen out of my car, a postman reversed his van into my car and now the death of my 60gb Launch model PS3. What have I done to deserve all this misfortune?

I was looking forward to playing Marvel vs Capcom 3 as well. I pre-ordered the game a good 7 month before release. To this day I still haven’t played MVC3 and its still in its wrapping, taunting me, mocking me. Sad times.

After 4 years and I’m only now getting YLOD, that’s one hell of a good run.
