Just after some advice, new to PS3, need a headset, which is the best to go for?

Sadly it looks as though my 80GB backwards-compatible PS3 has finally joined the YLOD club. It happened last night as I was about to watch Dredd. It didn't even make it past the studio logo before it shut off with no warning with the disc inside. Fortunately I tried the old hair dryer trick this afternoon and it worked just long enough for me to retrieve my Blu-ray disc

And here I thought I was gonna make it right up to the launch date for the PS4. Such bad timing, especially with God of War: Ascension coming out this week. I guess it's time to pony up and buy a brand new Slim

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the Coachella YouTube stream through PS3?

I can't seem to find a way to get it through the app on PS3 and YouTube through the web browser just won't play the live feed.

Does anyone know a way to get it?

You could always try the video in first post and reapplying the thermal paste. That worked for me for the first 6 times for at least a week worth of game play. After 6 or so times, the time span between reapplying the paste dwindled.

*sigh* I never thought it would come to this.

My PS3 recently succumbed to the YLOD while in the middle of playing Fallout 3, just right after exiting Raven Rock in one of the main quests. The disc is still inside, and right now my problem is trying to get the disc out (before sending it to Sony, or probably buying the Slim).

I've tried doing the fan test trick, where you have to turn off your console, hold the eject button, turn it back on and let the fans spin like crazy while the disc pops out, but to no avail. It was originally a 60 GB PS3, but replaced the hard drive with an 80 Gig after the original hard drive got corrupted.

Please, anybody help?
