Because the failure rate of the PS3 isn't 40+% :lol: Microsoft was facing some serious lawsuits and was forced to extend their warranties. Console broke, get it fixed or don't, such is life. It sucks, I know, but this is the risk one takes with any electronic device such as this.

Everyone I know says their Xbox broke at least once. Not to mention all the games it eats, God help all the Xbox owners.

I don't really care about your PS3 to be honest... My ps3 is just fine and even if it messed up, I doubt I would come here to complain about it on GameSpot.

i agree and if my ps3 broke i would probably just buy a new one i don't care too much for the slim models or get my old one repaired

let it cool, other than that not much can helo you, i heard there's a way to fix it but it i just temporary, if it doesen't work after a while you're done. Try playing less hours and leave your ps3 in a less cramped area

The chances of you getting a PS3 with problems such as this are extremely low. I have a fat 80gb PS3 (backwards compatible with PS2), it's been running smooth since I got it, which was at the end of 2007 I believe. I think all in all it has frozen on me twice and both times it was the games fault.

My Bro has a PS3 Phat 80gigs. and I must know if this is the Slim or the Phat because some of the problems we face is that the PS3 Freezes at sometimes when playing a game.

other than that it works fine.

Well, that's pretty easy to fix actually. I wouldn't pay Sony a dime, just look up a guide if you aren't under warranty.

Does anyone else find it ironic that his username is Kanye and his topic title is Flashing Lights? That is priceless. :P Oh yeah and sorry to hear about your PS3. :(
