PS3 death fix; $600+ flushed down the drain

Well, as most member know we get a lot of comments about PS3's dieing, the following is the reason why a majority "die."

If the PS3 freezes at any point in time, DO NOT turn it off from the back, that cuts all power to the PS3 instantly, resulting in many PS3 deaths.

There are two things that may come of this if you do it:

1: Your HDD becomes corrupt and you need to manually format it

2: The Blu-Ray disc lens breaks from having all power to it shut off while it is seeking data

PS3's disc lens seeks data when it freezes, remember all of those "Do no turn off power when game is loading" screens at the beginning of PS3 games? This is the reason their there.

To stop this, preform the following:

* Hold down the power button on your PS3 and it will shut everything down normally, you should hear three beeps in a row if you are doing it right.
* It is also advised that you should eject the disc in your PS3 when it is not being used, as said directly from Sony.

Misc:

* Sometimes it's a flaw with the cooling system and it overheats, or the Blu-Ray lens dies for some quirky reason; in this case you just have to get a replacement by Sony.

Lets just add in some sorta magical mythical crap.

"Listen, we must channel our energy to Goku, by some event that makes no sense, by us giving the tiny, tiny, tiny amount of energy that we have left after getting the crap beaten out of us, it will some how give Goku immeasurable power against an insanely powerful villain.”- Piccolo
