I'm Worried now

Well, im not sure if its rumours, but i hear people getting ps3s overheated, Ps3s turning on byitself, Glitching, Freezing, ect. I would really like to get a ps3 to play rpgs and all the other good stuff. And so im wondering is it true? has this happend to you.

Those rumors aren't true. :)

I just got my Ps3 yesterday btw. :D

I played with my PS3 for like 10 hours yesterday (was playing persona 3) and everything seems fine to me.aznfool07

Failure rate is like less than 1%. These threads about broken PS3s got me worried too but mine seems to be working fine.

all lies,,,, i have my ps3 since jun and i play it non stop minimum 5 hours a day and most of the days i dont turn my ps3 off i keep it for downloading stuffs from the store or downloading in folding@home so belive me the ps3 is designed by tanks engineers :) and the same thing with my friends no problems at all with their ps3s ..... if there is a console with to many problems its the 360 ( yes my brother have 2 Xbox360 ) two one got overheatedkratos_q80

No problems whatsoever with overheating. I haven't stopped playing since I got it. :D

The only people that complain about overheating are the ones who don't give the system enough room to breathe. :)

Ocansionaly mine, freezes, but its always the game that does it. Just resart and all is well.tsylord

Lies. PS3 freezes like all the other systems and computers do but overheating no.

I left mine working for a week doing Folding@home and playing and it never froze.

I haven't faced any of these things with my PS3.Make sure you put your PS3 in an open area because it will overheat in tight places.Star650

yh but mine is on a stand in my living room ontop of a sky box and not a lot of room to breath and it is perfect :D but it will have more room to breathe when it comes in my room after crimbo wit ma new tv:D:D:)

Wow, I don't know where these broken PS3 rumors are generating from, but I do know PS3's failure rate is less than 1%. I've had mine on for over 6-8 hours at a time, and not once had any issues at all. Been an incredibly reliable console.xboxdevil

Uh, those reports aren't false. In the last 2 weeks I've kept track of 12 seperate instances of peoples disc drives that have stopped reading games. Most notably are Coloradokindbud and Bioshockownz, both of whom wouldn't lie about such a thing.

There isn't an overheating issue, but if you dig around a little bit on the interent you will find that the PS3 can freeze, and then stop reading discs altogether.

I'm being very wary of my 60gb right now...very wary indeed.

well you must have some friends who own 360's because it aint true. the ps3 is well built and can handle being on for LONG periods of time without any problems. there is trouble with some games freezing but this is usually caused by a bug in the game itself and not the ps3. most of the time if a game freeziz i can press the ps button and exit to the menu where i restart the game. ive only had about 5 or 6 freezes and i have had my ps3 for about 6 months

Let me just put it like this since you already own an xbox360 well the ps3 will perform no worse in terms of over heating. It can only overheat less or none at all most likely.

Lies. PS3 freezes like all the other systems and computers do but overheating no.

I left mine working for a week doing Folding@home and playing and it never froze.

I have had my PS3 since Feb. and have had a few system freezes, though these only happened while playing Oblivion, Warhawk, and Assassins Creed. Since the patch for Assassins Creed however, it has not frozen once, and the only time it froze in Warhawk was while attempting to connect, never mid-game.

Other than that, I could not be more satisfied with my purchase, I just need to save up a few thousand dollars now for the TV I want and I'll be completely content.

Also, the few people I haveseen on here complainingabout manufacturing issues, seem to have had the problem resolved swiftly and to their satisfaction, so there ya go.

Dude just get one, the ps3 is a great and very reliable system.
