YLOD is like AIDS for the PS3.. something u never wish upon anyone.
any guess as to how it happens? (ventilation, overheating, improper shut downs, etc?)
sucks to hear that. at least u got an Xbox to turn to. @ban. this is one reason i got the FragnStein. custom buttoms. i have already ruined 2 controllers from fucking up the L3 button. not the button per se. the stick. i push the stick down and hold the direction too much, so its made my sticks loosey goosey. without any tension in them, its basically a worthless controller (still keep them just in case i ever get 3-4 ppl at my place to play PS3.. though this hasnt happened. ever.)
on that note, ive been using the dual shock for RDR, and i had no problems adjusting back to it. dont need pinpoint accuracy, so i feel this is more smooth/user friendly overall. that, and i can only use the weapon select wheel (ala R1) by moving the mouse up/down/left/right. not convenient.
