EDIT
My PS3 is dead. but she will rise again! i have decided to "reflow" my PS3. its cheaper then buying and new one and i want to see if i can fix it my self. its not like im going to break it any more then it already is. so wish me luck GB next my PS3 goes under the heat gun.

So i was playing Dead Nation this evening and right at the end of the game the PS3 shuts it self off, beeps at me a few times and then starts flashing red. i turn it back on and about 30 mins later it does the same thing. Google tells me its either a overheating issues (which there are no fixes for) or the hard drive is going bad. for now im going to give it a little break. at the moment it will still turn on and boot to the XMB. i am hoping the system just got too hot and shut it self down. My PS3 is running extremely hot lately and its in a completely open area none of the vents are blocked. to be safe when i boot it up later im going to have a fan blowing directly on it while playing. Its an original 60 gig so i really dont want it to die. i hope its just a hick up and nothing more.
EDIT
sorry i should have put "MY" PS3 may be near death. reading the title sounds a little misleading. whoops.
