This is like my 4th one so far and every time it breaks it's something different.  Is the PS3 having the same number of problems or is it having better results?  I'm just wondering if I should get one instead of dealing with this crap all the time.

Playstation 3 has known EXPONENTIALLY less problems than the 360. And that's taking lifespan INTO account.

Mine acts as a heater in the winter, and my allergies have gone away due to the fact that it collects more dust than the Ionic Breeze.  Other than that its AWWW RIIGHT!

PS3 is very reliable.  I've had mine lock up a couple of times in linux and once in the ps3 OS.  Thats it.  And yes I have a red ringer too.

I wouldnt trust ebay... Buy it from a place you trust. It's a lot of money so it's better to be safe than sorry.

Depends how much you like your current games. If you really, really, really enjoy them, get another (I can't mention the name as it sickens me to my core :D) but make sure you get it with an in-store warranty so you can exchange it at a moment's notice.

Fortunately for me, I happen to enjoy Sony's game lineup more (upcoming game lineup for those who like to get technical) and the added benefit of system reliability.

Great games mean nothing if they don't run and run consistently.

All systems freeze including the Wii.  That's technically not a problem.  PS3 is a 24/7 system so that in itself indicates a very durable system.  I was expecting the PS3 to break so far, but so far it hasn't.

my 360 kept breaking so i got a ps3, and my ps3 which I have had since launch is working great ***knocks on wood***   I actually just used my best buy warranty to get a refund on my 360 and i got a laptop instead.

My PS3 has never froze or behaved erratically and I got mine for Christmas. It's a very reliable system; all it needs now is a new batch of games to keep me interested.
