I've been running my PS3 24/7 ever since Folding@Home became available to download. Whenever I'm notplaying a game or watching a movie, it's running folding@home. So far I haven't had any problems with it.
Dude that said he doesn't beleive the 360 mess up, I know your fronting. If you have friends on XBOX Live, I'm pretty sure some of them had 360's that messed up. I had two mess up. I had one standing up on carpet, it fell over on it's side (slowly on soft carpet) and it was **** I had one that worked one night, and then when I woke up the next morning it was **** I got both of those early on, the last one I had worked fine. Think about it, they even made up a name for the error signal 360 gave off. That's how you know it messed up alot.
My PS3 on the other hand has been working perfectly fine. I was worried at first due to Sony's reputation, but I haven't had any problems. I don't even know what PS3's do when they mess up. There's definately no "Ring of Doom" or whatever.
I've had the 3 red lights twice on the same console, first time I unplugged everything, then replugged, and it worked fine. The second time I just turned it off and back on and it worked fine again.http://www.ripten.com/?p=374
Says PS3 is has less than a 1% failure rate which is incredible if true. I love my 360 but damn the thing has horrible reliability. Mine was shipped out to MS over two weeks ago and i still haven't got it back yet.

But that PS3 failure rate is rather shocking.

I work in IT and frankly a ~2% failure rate is rather standard. It just can't be avoided, sadly (keeps me in a job though! :P ).
As for my PS3, no real problems. My controller kinda wigs out in short bursts ( maybe 1-2 seconds) every now and again, but it's easy to simply buy a second controller adn frankly it hasn't really been bad enough for to do even that. Other than that, the system itself is rock solid!
