That's the beauty so far of the PS3, even with all the bad-mouthing, the only real issue is content on the PSN, and a still developing game library (which will pretty much be settled over this summer).

No widespread problems, and the content on PSN is growing steadily, there's a lot of games comming out in the next few weeks, so NOW's a great time to go out and get your very own.8)

I don't recall any widespread problems caused by the console itself due to manufacturing issuesm but there are some user related problems. The PS3 will overheat if it is kept in a confined space such as an entertainment rack, shelf, etc. The manual clearly states that the console needs enough room for ventilation. Unfortunately some users do not follow the instrusctions, and thus have a console that overheats.
