PS3 Slim Failure rate

has anyone bought a ps3 slim and have the yellow light of death yet or is the percentage of failure really low with this new system? I am planning on buying it since my old ps3 has a yellow light and a guy looked at it and told me the mother board is **** and sony wont even repair that. it would need to be replaced.

So before i go buy a ps3 slim and have it **** up on me like the other one did, i was just wondering what the failure rate is.

failure rate was very small in the normal system, so i assume they will be just as low with the slim. Also, Sony will fix that ps3, dont listen to some idiot.

The Slim has just been released. It's way too premature to have valid statistics on its failure rate.

I bought my slim a month ago (not even), and every new system comes with a 1 year internal damage warranty from Sony. Any data available is for failure right out of the box and Sony has agreed to fix that at no charge. Plus most game stores have at least a 30 day warranty ...

0% none of the Slims have failed so there you go :) haha

It came out 5 days ago.

Seriously, to have a 5 day old console fail on you... you must be trying really, really hard to waste your money.

This.

So i juts bought a ps3 slim yesterday along with a new tv. I do notice that the only vents is in the rear of the system where most of the heat is. It does get quite warm. The best buy lady says since its a new system that there is problems with it which made my mom force me to buy the 3 year warranty (19 and i take orders from my mom, but listen... she told the best buy lady to drop 20 bucks off the tv and the ps3 so we ended up saving 40 bucks plus a 3 year warranty on the ps3). Has anyone had any difficulties with their ps3 slim now that its been out for a month? Doesnt have to be yellow light just general problems.erodger

I would hope that it has a failure rate of Zero, but that will never happen. I did have a slight issue of it feezing up when I tried to Automatically scan for wireless networks and had to put it in manually, but I have not heard of anyone else having this problem.

Let me just say that since I bought my PS3 Slim... it makes this really loud clicking noise every thirty minutes or so and its getting annoying... I think im gonna try to place it vertically and maybe that'll solve the prob. but seriously what could be moving around so much so that its actually making that much noise, it kinda sounds like if you huge tv is contracting or something once in a while and makes that noise... has anybody else have this prob.? thanks...Coolboy420x

Clicking or cracking? If it's cracking you hear, don't worry it's normal, it's just the console contracting. My does it all the time.

its really low like the fat ps3 i had it since it came on and it still works and i play a lot

Got my PS3 on black friday. I use it everyday to play and mostly stream content. But the only time it freezes is when i use the damn web browser. No Yellow light yet, thank god. Maybe cuz im playing Demon's Souls my PS3 knows best not to mess up... haha.

lmao i hope your knocking on wood right now

I've had my slim since launch and I've not had a single problem. :]

It's so much quieter than my 60gb model.

Yes. Bought my PS3 slim 250GB 1/3/2010, YLOD failure on 1/8/2010. bberg100

I have to say when I first started playing my 120GB slim it gets really hot after gaming for just a few hours but now it don't get as hot for some reason?

I brought mine around 10/2X/2009 and not a single problem except when that time I exit out of a loading game it restarted.(I think this is normal)

I don't think the failure rate is anywhere near as big for ps3 slim as the FAT PS3s impending doom.

PS3 failure rate is pretty low in general, not as low as Wii, but alot lower than XBOX 360.havokmaster

I had mines since Dec of 2010 and it doesn't have any problem wich is goodAgentRaven77
