PS3 break down issues?

Im getting the 40GB tomo, and have heard of the disk drive having issues? like it will break down in weeks is this tru?

Thanks

I thought my 40gig was busted yesterday. I was trying to watch a dvd (brand new no scratches) but It would not load. it had worked the night before I never even took it out of my ps3, now the next day it wont load wtf. I took it out put back in still wont work. I turn my ps3 off back on still wont load. I go it too work by pressing triangle and playing the disk from the beginning. It worked now. It must have been trying to start the movie back where I left off and glitch some how.

Very untrue! Owned my PS3 since its US launch and its been to war with me twice (yes, actual war). Runs great with no problems what-so-ever.Basejumper1

That's a very good testement of how durable the PS3 is. There was another poster a while back that put his system through the same thing. He did say the PS3 had plenty of battle scares but the thing still worked perfectly.

Yup, that was me again. Every time someone asks about the PS3's reliability you will see me posting the same thing. My system looks like crap, but it runs like its brand new.

I thought that was Blackhawkdown or something like that but if not my mistake.

Hey now, they just answer to me. The walls have ears here you know. Catch my drift?

ive had my system since march and in about july 30th i was playing burnout, the next morning when i tried to play a game it would not load. i thought it was just my disc but when i had looked at it there wasnt even a speck of dust on it, then i decided to put in a blu-ray disc to see if that would play. no dice. after that i went online to see if it has happened to anyone else. and it turns out that this exact same problem has happened to a great number of people.

p.s your fanboyism is very childish, do some research before you start saying that this problem is impossible

edit:after about two weeks of shipping it out to sony with the receipt i got it back, and it plays for now.

no, thats a lie ;) get it and have fun m8. (btw i have that one and = 0 problems so it's not a problem based on the type of ps3.. but you might have probs with it.. just like anybody else can have problems with any breakable machine they possess.. good luck tho ;) and have fun! ^^)

nah there is no break down issues. The thing you sure worry about is getting software issues after updates which aren't big anyways

My PS3 got knocked off the top of my entertainment center and fell about 4 feet while turned on. The TV went black so I thought it was dead, but I restarted it and it came back on and has been running great ever since and that was over a year ago.

99% of the issues I hear from people are "user error" and are easily fixed.

No your fine. If anything your chances of anything breaking compared to the other models is greatly reduced, as the 40GB is revision 3 and contains chipset updates as well as a 65nm cell which makes it run cooler.stele29

I wish my 80GB had that chipset because mine kicks in the fans way too much.

my first ps3 was a 40 gb and it didnt last two months, so i would be concerned if your buying a used system, and even if its new why woudnt you go with a more reliable model like the slim
