Question about the 40gb ps3's

Hey guys/gals, Just wanted to know if the 40gb ps3's break down often. How is the failure rate on those compared to the 60gb's that I hear are breaking down a lot now. I will be purchasing the slim or 40gb, the slim is $100 more though. So, I just wanted to know. So, answer the poll and help a ps3 brother out!

get the 40gb and buy a 320gb western digital scorpio blue hard drive for about $60. i haven't had a single problem with my 40 gb ps3 and i've had it for 2 years now.

i accidentally clicked on the slim butt gat the 40 and buy a new larger hdd so that you have a bigger one than the slim for less :) its really easy just be carefull not to strip the screws

I only had one problem with my 40Gb ps3 and it's not that big of a deal, it froze on me a few times playing uncharted 1 after an update but it's fine now.

Had it for almost 2 years and still working fine,also still better deal then the xbox 360 AC.

Edit: I'd also like to say that getting the slim might be a better ideal. check to see if it comes with any games.

i had a 40g then it broke (disk drive) and i bought a 250g slim but hey i cant say the same thing will happen to you i guess it just depends on money flow lol

buy the 40gb which i have and just buy a bigger hdd

The only issue I have with my 40 GB (1.5 years old) is that it freezes on Civ Rev every now and then. If I were you, though, I'd get the PS3 Slim, only b/c it's a newer version. Maybe that's not important to you..but it's something that you should consider.

Spend the cash dude, get it while it's new, you kow you want one....

40GB. My friend has owned a launch one, not a since problem at all.

I personally own a 60GB, though.
