Poll for 40GB & Non-BC 80GB Owners

Kinda worried about the whole Blu-Ray failure thing that's been gaining momentum with the model I have.

No it hasn't. Im one lucky bunny!:D

my 40g did but it gave a reason for a new 250g slim haha

My 40GB hasn't had any drive problems. The fan was making some weird noise the other day but it seems to be back to normal now.

My 80gb works fine.

6-2. Maybe this whole blu-ray drive failure is a bit exaggurated?

My 40gb failed on me.

40GB works fine. I've had it for about 19 months now.

No, not yet. I've white 40gb ps3, bought it on May 2007.

Yes!! and the Ylod twice.. :(

Mayb i just play too much..

I don't even use mine, I'm happy with normal DVDs in my DVD player

Many people if you read around on the PS3 forums always mention either the Blu-ray drive not reading game disk or the system getting the YLOD. I don't think the complaints the PS3 gets are exaggerated.gamer082009

I'm just putting this out there, but do you think it's likely that people will be more inclined to write a vent / whinge / whatever about failing hardware than they are to report that everything's going well? Hearsay evidence from a vocal minority is really not going to tell you anything.

Mine is workin' properly... 8)
