Well its actually yellow when you turn it on it goes green blinks yellow and shuts off to red.
YLOD aka Yellow light of death.
Ps3 overheated and melted your CPU chips solder around it. Your CPU chip which is the brain of the PS3 melts Solder around it and creates a soldering bridge = when 2 different components become soldered as solid one. You can send it to Sony and they will fix it for you if its on warranty by saying fix im saying they will send you new one and you loose all the stuff from old ps3 you dont get your harddrive back so you just lost all safe files, trophies ect. if not on warranty its about 140$ or you can do it your self its not that hard it just takes time to take the ps3 apart to get to CPU to resolder the components. There is a guy that shows how to do it step by step on YouTube. Guy name is Gilksy he does it all slow and step by step in 3 videos I sent my 1st ps3 in and payed money for it i sent me new one didnt give my old harddrive back lost everything and this one keeps freezing on me all the time. I did resolder my self to 2nd ps3 that my friend had issue with and it works like a charm
Hope this explains it, trust points greatly appreciated

the ps3 can't get the red ring of death because it has no ring to turn red. i personally don't have a ps3 but I'd assume that it doesn't have a function of something like the red ring of death because it's not well known like the red ring of death.

Is it worse to have YLOD or a solid red light on your PS3?
Considering the YLOD (yellow light of death) indicates a debilitating malfunction with your system's hard drive and a solid red light means the system is off... I'd say it's infinitely worse. Best of luck to you!
Why does the red ring of death happen on Xbox but not on PS3?
Because the PS3 doesn't have a ring, its just a little rectangle.

Smash it up and buy a ps3 lol :)
