That really sucks. I lost my first two fat, backwards-compatible Japanese PS3's to YLOD as well (same as RROD). At least you had plenty of warning with your Xbox 360, my prediction came true. Did you back up your saves before your Xbox died?
I still haven't bought VOOM for either system so I may see you on PS3 someday. I am waiting for it to go on sale. VOOM did go on sale for PS3 for half off last year, but I missed the news. If I knew I would probably have bought it then. I am hoping it will go on sale for PS3 or Xbox again. I am worried that it will go on sale and I won't know about it, though.
You can get another Xbox cheap though probably. I got mine for $100 used from a girl, along with a lot of accessories such as 3 controllers and extra cables. On the other hand that's why I can't dash in the right directions, do dashing CC, or rotate with bumpers, as all my controllers have different kinds of broken issues (usually bad Dpad or broken bumpers). I just switched to my 3rd controller yesterday after getting fed up with my 2nd controller. I think I wore out the Dpad, it's totally floppy now just like my 1st controller, and I can barely move.
My 3rd controller has a really good Dpad, I was surprised. I hope it says this way but I think it will wear out too. The bumpers even work on this one! The problem with this controller are that it is pink, is missing the battery pack (I use one from a different controller), and the right analog stick was eaten by cockroaches at the girl's house.
