but I've recently had another problem.  First, I lost my internet back in July.  Now, just in time for Christmas, my PS3 is fried.  Yep, all it can do now is come on for a few seconds, beep a few times, then start blinking red until the power switch is turned off.  I actually kind of wonder if there's still games going on over on UT3.  I doubt I'll be able to get most of my mods back.  If anything hurts me about losing my PS3, it's probably that.  Galantor's Invasion was my favorite mod.

Probably just your CPU or GPU unsticking from the motherboard.. Don't throw it away.. send it to SONY or pay to have it professionally soldered with ARCTIC 5 Thermal Paste.. Stuff is the best.. Had mine done in 09 and haven't had any problems since....  

*The problem might also be your blu-ray player.. Very unlikely though...

I just recently looked up the YLOD, just to see what it looks like.  My PS3 acts pretty similar to a YLOD'd PS3, though I never saw a yellow light flicker.  It might actually be fixable.  Too bad, I doubt I'll be able to fix it soon.  I guess that means I probably should keep my Sony brick for now.

True.. Well I hope you are able to get that thing in working order.. It's weird to own a system for 5 years.... Happy holidays my dude. Unfortunate to be out of luck right now. It will turn around =)

Well, at least the internet's back. (as of today)  I can't believe it's really been off since July or that it took the rest of 2012 to get it back.  PS3's still fried though.  I sent it to a friend's to try and resolder it, but that may not work.  So, maybe my tax refund in April or so will have to take card of my PS3 problem.  Too bad, most of the UT3 mods I had can't be found online anymore.  I hope I can't at least find Galantor's Invasion.
