This for people who got there ps3 at or very close to launch time:

Have you had any problems with your ps3? Any freezing? Overheating? Anybody not have any problems what so ever? I'm getting mine soon and I need to decide to wether to just get it now (soon) or wait till around after the europian launch...

Picked mine up on 11/17.  Had a couple freeze ups but my bet is they were software related because I was playing demos every time it happened.  Been great since the day I brought it home.

ive had 3 diffrent problems, but not that many times.

1. My controller randomly unconnects for acouple seconds, happened 3 times

2. The screen randomly goes black, happened 2 times. Have to restart it after that happens.

3.I get unconnected from the internet sometimes, doubt its the PS3's fault tho.

No PS3 related problems since the first firmware update.

Got mine on 11/17 and I have had no problems whatsoever. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Between me, my brother and our friends, it was on for about 7-8 hours straight the first two days we had it with no problems. Very impressive if you ask me. There were a couple of times when the controller lost its sync for 1 to 2 seconds while playing Resistance within a week of playing, but it hasn't happened since. I'm assuming a firmware update fixed the issue (which wasn't a big problem anyway... only 2 times in dozens of hours of playtime).

Got mine the second week of December. It's frozen once while I was playing Need For Speed Most Wanted. Other than that, it's been flawless.

Got mine Dec. 4.  It froze once when i was registering on PSN, restarted it and it never happened again.  I've played over 8 hours of PS1, PS2, and PS3 games each, never had any problems.

I've had mine since the midnight launch...and I have yet to experience any type of freezing or console related glitch. Sony PS3s are as tough as they come!

Got mines on day one and it works great what I did to make sure it didn't have any problems is I left it on 24/7 for the first 2weeks and it didn't overheat/freeze once.
