I've had my PS3 for a year, no problems.

I've had a 360 for 2 years, and i'm on my 3rd. I've had enough of it so i gave it to my dad.

Same. I was a big Microsoft fanboy until my 360, which I got on launch, failed on me. This angered me cause I kept it in a dust free and well ventilated place like u have no idea. I sent a clean looking but broken 360 and got a a brownish and black dirty 360 tht kept screwing up when i played games. PS3 FTW!

Yeah my 40GB stopped working it. I think it overheated. It took 2 weeks to get a new 80GB system from Toys R Us. But it was worth it for the extra 40GB and DS3.

Mines is dead as well. I will hopefully send it in and get it fix. I'm going to probably have to reinstall final fantasy x11. Anyone have any clue on how much sony will tax me to fix it. My thread "life without ps1,ps2,ps3" tells my story

Yes. My first PS3 stopped playing all things PS2 about three months after I got it. Every game I put in would freeze. After that though nothing. That was over a year ago.

my 60gb's hard drive overheated a little over a year after I got it. My other friend got a 60gb couple days b4 mine and his died a couple weeks after mine did. We both sent them to Sony and they replaced them. But my other friend has a 20gb he got at launch and his is running fine. Luck of the draw I guess.
