I'm near San Francisco, so I'll look into that. I was under the impression that YLOD repairs are generally temporary but if it's cheap enough maybe it'll keep my PS3 running until I can find a good deal on a newer one somewhere. Thank you for the suggestion. :)
Longtime lurker, first time poster, apologies if I'm breaking rules or if this is the wrong place to ask this.
In any event- my launch PS3 died on me last night (YLoD) and I'm wondering what the cheapest way to replace it would be. I have a 500gb HDD that I'd just migrate over to whatever...
