ur not gonna find alot of ppl... PS3s just dont break and when they do... its not expected like some other console *cough*mistergamer2006
You may want to look on ebay there are more broke ps3 than there are new or good used units so if you think they do not fail you are coughing too much to see
I have 2 80GB (w/ BC one Motorstorm pack, one Metal Gear Solid 4 pack). They both have never broke, and run fine (Except for Fallout 3 which froze twice, but that was most likely the game not the ps3)
Still on my first one, It is a 40 Gb model ad I have for a little more than a year now.
As for my ps2 it´s amazing the fact that I have it since 2001 and it still works perfect.
So I trust sony´s hardware. Through all these years the only thing that has gone worse was my dualshock 2´s analog sticks which are almost ruined from all the playing and there did was another of those controller´s that had one button ruined since i played with it for the first time.........u kinda had to push the button really harder than u should for it to be processed........
That´s my history with sony. I always buy their products: controllers, memory sticks, consoles and never had any problem except for the tiny ones mentioned above.
I'm just curious because my PS3 broke about a week ago and I'm waiting for the second one to come in. How many PS3's have you had that broke? I just had the one that was broken, I'll be on my second PS3 when it comes back.

PS1 - 1 PS2 - 1 PS3 - 1 (knock on wood, cross my fingers)
ive only had 1 PS3, it never broke down. believe me, its very well built with high quality parts, youre the 1 in a hundred people who had their PS3 brake down

On my third one. My second refurb replacement came with a defective hard drive.

PS1 - 1 PS2 - 1 PS3 - 1 (knock on wood, cross my fingers)LOL same here,Sony makes some reliable stuff,everything in my house is Sony.Or maybe I'm just lucky with these stuff(but I wasn't so lucky with the 360 though).
4 PS2s, launch PS2 died after 2 yrs from drive failure. Girlfriend bought me another one. Sold it yr later. Bought a slim traded it in for PS3 controller. Bought another slim after my PS3 was stolen to hold me over until I got another PS3. Traded that one in for another controller.
Only 2 PS3s, the first was stolen from my apartment.
None, still on my first. But I heard that there is some new policy in the warranty that if you send your PS3 in when it dies they send you another one back with a dual-shock controller
you obviously don't treat your systems well, like really you thought it was a good idea to put a console upside down for more airflow? yeah cause that would be good for the disc...
l have had every sony system with not a hitch, all working perfectly still

The original PlayStation had some very well known issues regarding heat problems, that TO THIS DAY Sony refuses to admit to. Why else do you think they had silently redesigned the PS1? Also, I treat my Sony systems better than I've treated systems from any other company and yet they fall apart that much more often than any other company's consoles. I've had my original Dreamcast for more than 6.5 years of even what I would deem abusive treatment and has managed to keep on going. I've had the gamecube for nearly 8 years of service and it's continued on strong until I finally got a Wii to replace its place. Yet the only PlayStation that has ever lasted me a long time was the one I'd went out of my way to get modchipped. Figure that one out, chief. :roll:
My 40gb PS3's Blu-Ray drive died while still under warranty, but my same PS3 came back with the hard drive files intact and everything. So, really, I haven't gone through any Playstations, but the PS3 is the first console I've owned to ever have a technical problem. My PS2 is still running like a champion.
Now try posting again WITHOUT trying to offend and anger me further. :evil: As I said, I take care of my consoles, and even babied the Sony consoles more than I have any other company. The simple matter of fact is that Sony makes unreliable hardware, and have total and utter contempt for their user base. The utter audacity that they would still extort another $150 from me after ps3 #3 failed on me only goes to prove that to me. I also never buy used consoles. Or rather, never had to until this generation. Why? Because there was no way I was going to go with a no-BC ps3. And the softBC units had significant problems with far too many games in my library to be acceptable. I needed a unit with hardware BC, and I'd feared having to rebuy ps3's to finally get a single working unit. And that's exactly what happened there. I only finally broke down and gave up to Sony because there was no way I was going to spend another $1000 to get a "new" unit off eBay with those con artists on there. The ps1 was an unreliable piece of **** that kept breaking down. In the case of PS1 #2, it basically took having to put it upside down eventually in order to get it to continue reading any disc at all. And being a broke kid at the time, spending $200+ for another PlayStation was beyond too much. But after having to buy my THIRD copy of Final Fantasy VII (when it was still $50) was the "straw that broke the camel's back" that generation. the PS2 was hilariously bad with reliability. Or did you forget all the class action lawsuits that it took before Sony finally acknowledged that they designed the console badly with the purpose that it would die so conveniently after the 90 day warranty ended in order to extort MORE money in warranty repair fees? So, do us both a favor Trx07, and stop ASSuming **** you don't have the first clue about.

Holding on to years of anger really isn't healthy.

Well, what the hell else am I going to be able to get to play all those PlayStation games that I have? Or should I just throw those away too? :roll: That makes no sense whatsoever. Why should I have to give up all those classics that I have slaved and earned money to buy because Sony can't make a single reliable console?

But see, here's the thing. It has only ever been SONY consoles that have gone and failed on me. Not Sega, not Nintendo, not even the Xbox 360 has failed as often or regularly as Sony's products. And I treat them all equally. the PlayStations are the only ones I'd ever gone out of my way to maintain, whereas I'd do so every now and again for the other units. And even now with this ps3, I've got it raised up on the highest rack on my desk, away from anything that could create dust for it to suck in, and it's still running hotter than a **** My 360 doesn't do that. Not even the reinforced PS2 that I have now at the bottom of the desk arrangement I currently have for it. I'm not the one doing anything wrong here. Sony's consoles just seem to always fall apart for me, and that's the truth. If you don't like the truth, that's all well and good. But you have no right to try and shut me up or insult me about my experience either. :evil:

I don't know if you've read the other posts but you're clearly in the minority for bad experience with reliability. Do you live near power lines or a nuclear reactor? Does your job require that you drag your feet along carpet for 8 hours a day? Do you have an abnormally high bioelectric charge? Have you sprayed for goblins?
My PS3 is still in pretty much perfect condition and I can't see it breaking for a good many years yet but I went through three PS2's (Disk read errors be damned!) and two PS1's (I dropped the first one, so I suppose that was my fault anyway). Sony generally make pretty solid hardware, after all they make things like TV's and other large, expensive electronics so why would they make poor hardware? On the software side of things well..... they aren't as proficient as Microsoft are (just look at the whole host of development issues the PS3 has) but they get there in the end.
