Important Question now.

Would a Plug and Play Cooling fan with 5 seperate fans lessen the chances of getting the horrible YLoD?

I mean this.

You won't need a cooling fan, I've had mine for nearly a year now and I play it everyday and no Ylod.

Just keep it in an open space.

Will a open space be on a shelf under a TV and above a DVD Player and Sky+ Box?

No, that's how it's going to get overheated :T

What if I was to put it on a stand with holes underneath for air?

 

[Ricano]

If you were to put it straight up, air would come out from the sides and top. I had mine like how you said you might put it, and it overheated. Just warning you.

 

[JasonBurrows]

Alright, I'll keep your wise words and think upon them.

1, but they fixed it.
None I think.

It's not very widespread.

 

[JasonBurrows]

In estimation, how many consoles would you say it happens to?

Most websites that I've been at say less than 7%

Probably even less than that.

And most of the time, it was because of a lack of air flow.

 

[JasonBurrows]

So, if I get a stand that allows air underneath it and a fan that flows air through it, I should be fine Tom?

As long as you put it somewhere it can get enough airflow going, it should be good.

My bro got YLoD, but he just sent it in and got it fixed.

Only takes like, 3 weeks.

My PS3 doesn't have a warranty though.

Will this be a good idea for the PS3?
