PS3 Red Light of Fecking Doom...again, I blame Ray.

Over the weekend my second PS3 (out of warranty) bought the fecking farm with the fabled red light of doom problem, did the youtube solutions but nothing and it also swallowed my fecking new MW3 game, now why did I blame Ray well because he dropped round on Friday night after I got home from work and we knocked the fecking hell out of the campaign mode on MW3 over 6 hours and as he pissed off home around 2345hrs I think he broke it due to his style of playing (button bashing bollox) and me letting him play  for longer out of sympathy as he like me now doesn't have one but I can't be sure but I think he owes me.

Some pictures of the young lad who hasn't got the same anger management issues as me trying to fix and retrieve my game disc.





Got the award below very recently off the lovely Melanie over at !No, really, you can eat it! and you know me I'll take any affection I can get, I would like to pass it on but the SWMBO reads the blog sometimes so if you want it take it but say nothing to her.
Now while I'm contemplating selling my blood and south of the border white fluids to pay for a new PS3 but in the mean time a friend has loaned me his machine (no not Ray!).

    It must be great to know someone that you can give the blame for every problem. :-)

    Clearly it must be Ray's fault. As for the BILF, I will resist the urge to comment other than to say, in this case Ray is right!!

    We have BILF's now? Okay there's now an award I want. My brother's PS3 is holding together just fine, and he completed Black Ops in an 8 hour non-stop session. Please tell me you didn't beat MW3 in six hours. Please.

    The X-Box is more manly and rugged than the PS3, which after all was designed for Pokemon and My Little Pony fps, so you only have yourself to blame.

    Congrats on the BILF though, it means there's hope for us all! :-D

    I can't remember what setting it was on. Even on easy mode though a game shouldn't take that long to complete. At least not for that price. The only thing people buy CoD for is the multiplayer. They should just release an MMO and get it over with. We have MMO's on the Xbox and PS3 now so it's easily doable.

    Damned shame, it always feels like electrical appliances break whenever the warranty runs out. It's a conspiracy man! Planned Obsolescence.

    Fran I can feel your pain.
    Me and my PS3 will hold a minute silence this evening to honour your fallen time wasting comrade.
    BILF is a neat idea but I think there will be a lot of embarrassing moments go in hand with passing this one...

    I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this post.

    I feel for you man. Send a nasty letter to Sony stating what a valued customer you are see if they offer you anything.

    UGH, this sounds like a pain in the ass. I never even knew the PS3 had these kinds of issues. Always felt like an X-box problem to me.

    Stupid technology...what would we do without it? So, I am thinking that I handled the whole BILF award thing quite diplomatically...it is possible! (Sorry Ray...maybe next time!)

    My condolences Angry, I know all about the RLD as I went through 3 of the original xboxes (although I must say the fab Elite version has solved all the old nonsense), but have had no issues at all now...I shall light a Sony-shaped candle for you...

    I think he broke, because of his playing style, I let him play more sympathy. I also like to play current factor games.
