Just wondering if anyone has a day 1 launch PS3 (such as myself) still going strong? Do not know if I am just lucky or what however every PS I have owned has been a launch system and I have never had to call Sony for repair, is this the norm or am I the exception to the rule?

I've had mine since launch and no problems so far aside from some minor freezing. Im happy I got mine at launch, it seems all the newer ones are the ones having problems.

I got 2 at launch(one for my bros.), and they are both still working just like new. I have 4 bros. so we got another 60GB about a yea later, and it's still going strong. My dad got one for himself as well, but his actually broke. He never sent it in though. I might see if I can fix myself sometime because the warranty has long been expired.

It's not a launch PS3 (as in standing in line to get one of the first few batches of the console's production), but it's an early-produced 60GB.

Still going strong here.

Mine was a UK launch console, went strong for just over a year... then got the YLOD on day MGS4 was released, i was halfway through the game, and the disc got stuck inside. I do have a new PS3 which replaced my old PS3:)
