PS3 has its own "death message"... three beeps

[BTBuck1]

Mine does the 3 beeps everytime I turn it off, IF I turn the TV off, before the ps3 is done shutting down. If I wait for the ps3 to shut off, then turn the tv off...it just turns off without a beep.

The PS3 comes with a warranty from Sony.

I think it would be a big mistake not to get a 2 or 3 year extended warranty. Besides that added security you just have to walk into the store with you ps3 rather than sending it in the mail hoping it gets to its destination.

The three beeps is meaningless. I can get the 3 beeps right now... see, I pressed eject and there wasn't a disc in there. Hence the 3 beeps. I love these people on Youtube that are crazy fanboys. Don't listen to them, seriously, it's pathetic.

From what I have read, this is a thermal issue but I keep my PS3 on an open shelf. Anyone else experienced this problem? From what i can see from Google, this error is terminal.

Bad Karma.... my Denon DVD-3930CI also died. The HDMI output failed five days after purchase.

It sound's like your ps3 has overheated man! it doesnt really depend on ambient temp or location,it comes about due to a fault with the thermal compound on the CPU/GPU chip's that basicaly causes the chip's to heat to such an extent the solder melt's effectively disconnecting the CPU/GPU from the mother board. If your not afraid of using a screwdriver and a heat gun it's not very very hard to fix..check out gliksy's ylod vid's on youtube. For a quick check pop out your harddrive and check for any kind of heat damage (shadow's or slight smoke damage)..luv ya's all!! PEACE

This happened to me about 3 months ago. I called sony and sent it in to be"fixed" they said I had a heat issue and asked me if I wanted my 60gb ($179.99) back or wanted to "upgrade" to a 120gb $199.99. I choose my 60 gb, still wanted to play old school playstaion games. takes about 3weeks to get it back.

Edit: EXCEPT for my TV. Damn Costco only takes Debit Cards or Amex and I'm not getting an Amex.

Whats wrong with having an Amex?
