The Red Screen Of Death of the PlayStation 2 scares many people.Its knowed worldwide because of that.
And YOU,dear Scratcher,does it scare YOU?
When did you view it for the first time?
Discuss of it here!!
Personally,it never scared me. i like it a bit.

Why would an error screen scare you?

I had a PS2 ever since launch and I've never got an error screen.

I've had a PS3 YLOD before. 40GB Phat.

When I had my PS2, I never had the rsod 'cause I used only PS2 discs . There are some funny reactions to it on Youtube.

Yellow Light of Death. Google it up.
It usually means that there is a malfunctioning component (or the system has overheated).
If it is a component problem, good luck trying to get your date off the hard drive. You can't even access the recovery menu because when you turn the PS3 on, you get the YLOD and it shuts itself off.

It is the bane of PS3 gamers.

its normally the heat paste that tranfers the heat from the cpu/gpu to the heat sink that causes it,
I managed to get my 60gb fat working again after redoing the paste and it lasted long enough to do a data transfer onto a ps3 slim.
It died again last month after 5-6 months of life playing the occasional ps2/ps1 game…
I havent been bothered to fix it yet.

Ouch…i am sorry for you.

I'm confused - why would anyone need a topic for an obscure hardware fault in a games console that's older than most of the forum users?

I made this topic because
#1 because many Scratchers got a PlayStation 2(it was sold 13 years,2000-2013) and probabilly have got one time RSOD.
#2 because my topic subjects are most of the time REALLY RANDOM.



And yes…….its not so useful if you are not really bored.

I… don't have a PS2.

I have seen a few Blue screen s of death before, they make me jump

Wow, never saw that before. Mainly because I used my PS2 for games rather than movies.

It's like you're entering hell or something.

Yep,i watched the reversed version of it and its like you are going out of hell

I've played my PS2 for since I was 3, and never got the RSOD.

Mee too!

If you never looked to the PS2 RSOD,take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JKaQvtT9YQ

I NEVER even got a RSOD. BTW, I don't even HAVE a PS2! (Except Dez has a PS2, a Wii, a Wii U, and a DSi.) I only have a Wii U, a Wii, a DS, a 3DS, and an XBOX 360 Kinect. *Invents the PS5 coming in May 2017 with controller keyboard and scariest RSOD ever. *
