Feeling Generous? In Desperate Need Of Sc Iv!

I run my 360 (before had an older one but now have a new one) out in the open horizontally on a flat piece of wood with plenty of room for air.

Never had any overheatin probs. Oh, well the graphics chip seemed to die in the last one (after many years of hard use), maybe that was the same prob...
 
I think my PS3 died because I have a problem with heating my room. In fact, it's very cold here. There must have been a too big temperature difference between the insides of the PS3 and the room itself. Seems that it was a thermal shock to the BGA and joints had cracked because of it. :<

It runs for now and the game has been dispatched this morning... I hope I can get some SC IV action before it breaks again.
 
Seems like cold would be for the PS3.
Computer/server rooms are always cold.

You should get it fixed, though, so you don't get sick.
 
It's about the difference of temperatures. PS3 has very weak solder joints and they break easily if there are big temperature fluctuations.

As for fixing it - I was told it's no use after YLOD because it will die again after max 6 months. It's best to buy a new PS3. I will do it as soon as I find a job but for now I hope that this old phatty will give me some SC IV pleasure. I waited so long for it to happen and it would really suck to have the game thanks to your generosity but not being able to play due to YLOD. Wish me luck, Talim_JP.
