Sony PlayStation History

Sony PlayStation is one of the best gaming consoles the world has ever seen, and today, it is competing toe to toe, or joystick to joystick, with the Microsoft Xbox. It is a gruesome race, as both consoles offer different advantages and there is not a single review available today to determine a clear winner. The sure thing is these titans have been clashing for a few years now and a winner has not yet been decided. What I can say however is that, when it comes to history and age, Sony PlayStation wins by a landslide. This is the small piece where we discuss about the long heritage Sony PlayStation brings to the gaming industry.

Sony PlayStation first appeared in Japan in December 1994 and is still to this day considered to be one of the best selling consoles of all times. The revolutionary console brought the gaming age to a whole, new different level. 128 bit graphics made PlayStation the new kid on the block and no one could say a thing about it. Also the design of the joystick has become iconic, all PlayStation consoles having the same model of joystick. New game play, prolonged game time and a vibrating joystick were the characteristics that made the PlayStation the ultimate console in existence.

Sony PlayStation 2 first showed its face in July 2000 and was already competing with the Xbox Arcade and the Nintendo DS. This console brought graphical game play to new heights and would reach loading speed that were not seen until then. Later on, Sony released a model for PlayStation 2 that was a slim edition, thus making the console look sleek and cool. The emphasis for the PS2 stayed on PlayStation memory cards, that gave the gamer the possibility of saving the game at any time. In this manner your game progress was remembered and you could shut down the console without fear of losing the saves.

The last PlayStation model to see the gaming market in November 2006 is the PS3 that came with a Blu-Ray DVD player, a huge hard disk drive and a six axis joystick for advanced directional movement. Later, in 2009 the PS3 Slim version was released and it also enhanced the exterior aspect a great deal. The PS3 Slim is currently the latest PlayStation for sale and is at war with the Xbox 360 Elite for some years now, these titans are ruling the game markets, fighting for supremacy. Some say that Sony is king and other talk about Microsoft. It is all about the games and individual preference

How I fixed the YLOD myself!

Last week, I unfortunately suffered the Yellow Light of Death. This had been the worst thing that had happened to me, because this was a Birthday present some years back, and now that it is out of warranty, I have to pay the $200 repair fee! However, after doing some background research, working out my available options, I came across a site on the web that appeared to fix the issue I had. I had a look at the testimonials, and judging by those testimonial remarks, I thought I might as well give it a shot!   
After paying the onetime fee of $37, I was redirected to a professionally made member’s section that had:
·         Professionally Made Videos!
·         Professionally Made Guides for every PS3 model!
·         One-on-one help, via email and telephone!
I saw many benefits in joining this program:
·         It was an easy and safe way to fix my PS3
·         I fixed my PS3 in an hour and a half
·         I saved myself $200 (Sony charges $200 for repairs)
Here is the link again:
And I am glad to say my PS3 is up and running again! Give it a shot! You are backed by a 60-day money back guarantee!
