Plagued by a Playstation 3 YLOD?

Has your Playstation 3 started giving you a flashing red light AKA Yellow Light Of Death? This is caused by extreme overheating. Over time, the heat causes the solder on the graphics and core processor to melt and separate from the system board.

If it's still under warranty, of course you can send it to Sony and have it fixed for free. If not, it's going to cost $150 plus shipping both ways. I can fix it for less and you won't have to wait for weeks. Older and launch PS3's are prone to this, as are units in not well ventilated and/or in areas that are dusty.

I can fix this problem for you for almost half of what Sony will charge. You won't have to wait for the repair time. I can repair this and have it back to you in a day. Contact information is here. Yahoo! Local users have given B-TECH a 5 star rating. Come see why today!

Gamestop: Tony Hawk Ride bundle to retail at $119.99

If you're Activision you've realized that a lot of money can be made with peripherals. Capitalizing on that fact comes Tony Hawk: Ride, the next new game with a peripheral. There hasn't been an official announcement for the game and skateboard combo yet, however it seems GameStop has some information about it. A listing on the video game retail chain's website suggests that a Tony Hawk: Ride (PS3, Wii, Xbox 360) bundle that includes the skateboard peripheral will cost $119.99.

No word yet from Activision, so for now it falls into the rumor mill. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything to confirm this price point.
