PS3 yellow light of death

I guess i'm one of the unlucky few to have this happen. I own a 60 gig PS3 bought in Feb. of 2007. I clean the system weekly with a brush attachment on a vaccuum. This morning I was in a online menu in COD4 and my system suddenly reset itself(not a power surge as nothing else in the house powered on or off). I turned it back on and it became stuck at the main wave screen colored in white. I turned it off and then back on again only to have what you see in the video. Sony is sending a box for replacement for $159 with a 90 day warranty. hope this helps anyone else with the same problem. I have spent all day online researching this symptom and it seems to be one of two things, either your harddrive came dislodged, or a fan malfunction is causing a overheat problem forcing shutdown. I have not seen any legit fixes for this other than buying a new one or sending it back to sony for replacement.

i think playstation and xbox do this on purpose so you have to go out and buy a new system resulting in them making more money

This just happened to me just a little bit ago...there an easy way to fix it or just have to buy another? I got one of the 80gb about a month after they first came out so it is fairly old
