PS3 Lifespan

How long do you think the ps3 will live if you play it atleast 5 hours every single day? Will it live for over 5 years? Or will you have to buy a new one every single year?:|

Its to early to tell, but from the reliability of the consoles right now, you probably won't have to replace it every year... *cough* unlike another console *cough*

What is this other console you are speaking of? i have NEVER heard such a thing. who in their right mind would make a console like that? that would be the same as to ripp people off, for good :o (Being a little sarcastic)

Well. i play it atleast 5 hours a day, sometimes alot more. so in 5 years. i'll return to this post, and tell everyone that my PS3 still works

why the HELL are you playing your ps3 5hrs a day every single day. DUDE! get a life.

5 hours, is that much? well i guess if you are some 12 year old kid. with a mom who's nagging you about Bed time and all that. but i have a 8 hour job, and then another 2 hour job on the side to make a littel extra money. and i can play 5 and more hours a day... the only problem i can see is getting up in the morning. but for me, who hangs out with my friends and my girlfriend, has two jobs. i can easly play 5+ hours and still get up in the morning.. YOU on the other hand should get a life instead of harassing people

no i have a freakin life, i work 12hr shifts and i run 2hrs a day, i play basketball almost every day, for at least 1 1/2 hrs a day. then i play some videogames. then i go to sleep because i have to get up at 3:50 AM. so dont act like you know me.FlaminUmpalumpa

And you still find time to come here and harass everyone because you are hiding behind a screen. that's not a life

The only thing wrong with Playstaions is usually  the laser, which can be replaced pretty easily. Saying 1 year life  is abit bs, you have to be unlucky to get a laser product that dies inside of its warranty period.

I'd wait till they have a few revisions to iron out the problems, like the 8th version of the PS3, then if theres any problems down the years there should

 be plenty of aftermarket stuff thats better. Happened with the PS2, if theres something wrong poeple

like us will have a sad to poeple like you.

5hrs isn't so bad compared to other people, but to say someone doesn't have a life on a forum is just shallow

Sony has excellent quality. I'd expect it to run for at least 8 years at that rate. plavo

Sony has excellent quality? I had nightmares with the PS1 and the early model of the PS2.

i had trouble with ps1 b/c i had it chiped so i can play copy games...but even so...my ps1 still works...and i got it 6 years ago...the problem with its is the lens...if i change it then it wont have any problems...so i think ps3 should last quite a long time...BUT if u use it to play games and watch Hd movies...like every day then i dont know...

I highly doubt that with the many problems the ps2 had. I have a 360, one year this June and i have not had a single problem with it. Fanboys need to stop, if you bought one you'll see how great a console it is. I'm not trying to spam here i'm just saying my opinion which i have a right to do. I have all 3 consoles and each has their high and low points.

 I hate to inform you however 360 has worse promlems then PS2's DRE ...
   and also just because you know how to  take care of your consoles dosn't mean everyone does ...
 
  My PS1 is around 10 years old ... it STILL works perfectly ...
  My PS2 is around 4 years 6 months old and it STILL works perfectly ...

    I've had my DS for 9 months and had annoying touch screen problems but it dosn't gameplay so i dont mind ...

 I've had PS3 for 1 1/2 months -- no problems yet ...
 Ill be getting a 360 this December - why did i wait --
  1) i want the Elite ... which is still 2 months away ...
  2) i don't want the hardware problems which plauge 360 to affect me ... ( since they WILL be fixed by December ) 

no i have a freakin life, i work 12hr shifts and i run 2hrs a day, i play basketball almost every day, for at least 1 1/2 hrs a day. then i play some videogames. then i go to sleep because i have to get up at 3:50 AM. so dont act like you know me.FlaminUmpalumpa

you obviously didn't hear of the problems the PS2 had did you? That was bad, and pretty much equaled that other console people have mentioned.

I usually don't respond to topics like this and I didn't want to go there but the "other system" has been faulty for 2 generations straight,that can't be good....but like they say 3 times is the charm.

if it keeps continuing like this rate, id imagine it would run for quite a while, sony really stepped up the pace on the ps3

side note, i had my ps3 running for 24 hours straight, on accident, 3pm to 3pm, still worked fine

If PS2 lasted around 7 to 8 years then I say PS3 is going to last about 10 to 11 years.jacky531

I've had my PS2 one year after its launch and it stopped playing games a few weeks ago. Opened it up, and blew all the dust out, cleaned the lens, and now it works again :DTelcharXI
