No as far as i know you get the YLOD from the ps3 overheating so they probably got it from playing MW2 too much without stopping.

Re: YLOD

I got YLOD 4 days ago while playing Uncharted 2 the game is still stuck inside. On Utube there is videos how to fix it yourself. Not sure if I should try fixing it.

You heard about a lot of people getting YLOD because there are a lot of people that bought it and are currently playing it. Everytime there is a major game release reports of YLOD come in blaming the game, tis nothing unusual but definately not any specific games causing it.

Re: YLOD

The ylod is more common than sony would have you know 0.5% failure rate is a load of rubbish ive got loads of friends on my friends list that have suffered ylod and the customer support representative told me 2% failure rate and that was months ago, no way would I pay sony 125 pounds for a repair with a 3 month guarantee, you can purchase a brand new system now for 199 pounds and get a years guarantee, I wish sony would just hold their hands up and say its our fault, these things should be lasting longer than they are!
