My PS3 showed me the ylod once already, good thing it still returns to normal after I let it cool down. I have already decided to get a new one, before my old one finally kicks the bucket. This way I might be able to save my files and downloaded games thru the PS3 transfer tool.
I read somewhere on the net that on every PS3 firmware update, the fan speed vs temp setting changes, leaning more on silent operation thus resulting on lower fan rpms. This is especially bad for fat ones since they run hotter.
My problem started when I updated to version 4.11 btw. I can't even play AcV demo now without my PS3 shutting down after a few minutes of play. Before I can hear the fan run at high speeds during system intensive scenes but now it just dies on me.
