Well... I was playing Skyrim, doing the gold claw quest.. Went to save the game and it froze and these weird lines came up. Now when I try to turn on my PS the lines just appear.. Sometimes it just doesn't come on. I tried it on SD and HD on 3 TV's and it didn't work on any of them. Never had a problem with this PS (80GB FAT) freezing before, but on Skyrim I froze once then again during that quest. Does anyone know if it's YLOD? Did skyrim K.O. my PS3? I was waiting for Skyrim for so long.. Play it for 30 min and it dies.

Bro, that svcks. Your PS3 got Fus Ro Dah'd.

that is [censored] [censored]! Like litterally wait for a game forevah and then your console dies 30 mins in?

Your PS3 pwned you so hard, no even funny. Thats brutal, it gives you a 30 minute tease and then does that to you . . .

That's not funny you jerk.

Holy crap that freaking svcks. Sorry to hear that man....

that is wierd im guessing it finnally burnt out that svck it happend to me while playing fallout 3 just up and quit working after a month i got it to come back on but the laser was fried so i just got a new (at the time) 120 gig version

Dude, seriously, don't tell me when you read this one of those comedy sketches didn't cross your mind?

Ugh! That bites bro. I haven't gotten the game (later today) so Idk if it has ANYTHING to do with the game, but I got the YLoD back in 2010 I think and re-applying thermal paste fixed the problem. Maybe this is similar to the YLoD?

That is horrible, sorry to hear that.

Did the YLOD fix.. fixed it, let's just hope it holds up for 300+ hours while I play the hell out of skyrim x)

From the looks of it, your PS3 didn't die, it just got svcked into the Matrix.

I doubt it was Skyrim though. It's possible it was on it's last legs to begin with, and this was just the final straw though. I've got a 60gb launch model and the fan hasn't even kicked up to the second stage yet while playing. Not like Fallout 3, where it'd be screaming like a jet engine half an hour in.

If it makes you feel better, my Slim PS3 model imploded after about 3 hours of Fallout: New Vegas. Since then, I've invested in the 2 year Sony Replacement Program extension available on the Store.

Sorry to hear that happened. You'll definitely want to reach out to PlayStation support.
