PS3 slim flickering problem - Blu-ray Forum

I just got a second ps3..the 120 gb slim version for my bedroom...i have the 250 gb version in my living room....it works fine...BUT the new one i got i plugged it in..turned it on...no noise at all sounded quiet....played gow3 for about a hour...turned it off and went back to the original screen and it started flickering alot...Kinda like when a storm is bad and your tv is about to go out...that kind of flickering..like prolly every 30 seconds...

I dunno what it couldve been...the hdmi cable? or the ps3? i have had a blu-ray player hooked to that hdmi and never had the problem tho...

i took the ps3 back and got my money back...and am just waiting on the new versions....BUT anyone ever have that problem? and what was it?
