So far I've had 2 ps3's in a month one works for 3 weeks and then breaks and my other one failed out of the box. Both of them had the same problem they went green and then a yellow bar appeared then the beeps and a red flashing light. So is this a huge problem or am I just really really really really really unlucky.

This is what happens

I think you're really unlucky. I've had mine for a year now and so far no problems. It's odd that you've gone through 2 in one month. I dunno. I just don't know.

I am furious at sony i had my wii for almost 2 years and not one problem with it. Not even a scratched disc and my ps3 doesn't even last a month. What really annoys me is I just got rock band which cost $170. Maybe I should return and buy an Xbox 360.

It's under warranty, so send it to Sony. Then sell your PS3 or return it to the store so others who do want a PS3 can enjoy it.

with your luck you go through 10 360. i had my 20 gig for 2 years now almost feb. no problems. give it onemore chance and tell them not to fix if they did and just send a new one tell them a 80 gig because you want backwards ps 2.

This never really made sense to me... it like when yall say I will just get a 360 or I will just get a Wii or I will just get a PS3... Who do yall think yall are really hurting?

I know that if I wanted a Ps3 or a 360 or a wii and it kept messing up on me I would see what is going on and try my best to get it working... I mean the last thing I would do is go buy the machine I didnt want in the first place...

Sorry that is just dumb to me.

Well dude are you putting your Ps3 in a place where it gets plenty of elbow space?

Below is from your blog

http://www.gamespot.com/users/gangstaa9/

"This covers mostly wii but a little bit of 360 i don't have much 360 games

good wii games: Zelda, brawl, madden 08, the bigs, wii sports, tiger woods 07 and 08, MLB 2K8, super Paper Mario, Super Mario Galaxy (according to other people but not me) gutair hero 3, Mario and Sonic at the olympics, and lego star wars

bad wii games:NBA live 08, pokemon battle revolution, and super monkey ball bannana blitz

good 360 games:gutair hero 2,3, Viva piniata, rock band, the bigs, NBA live 08, and of course Halo 2,and3"

Sound Like you alreay hace a 360 and are just TROLLING...

I just don't beleive you now about the broken PS3's...

Nice Work! :D

i have not had those problems that you are discussing but i have had about all other problems. I pretty much can list off about 15+ problems with my ps3 that are frustrating but it still turns on (when it wants to), and sony customer service is utterly ridiculous a telemarketer selling erasers (what?) knows more about the playstation 3 then those idiots at sony! or maybe just the person that i had to talk to.

Wow thats a crazy amount of consoles to go thorugh, i had a ps1 for about 4 years with no problem it worked fine even after i sold it on.

My ps2 i had for about 2 years no problems at all i sold it to get a xbox.

Had an xbox for about 5 years without a problem eventually the disc tray got stuck so its unusable. So ive only had problems with one of my consoles and thats xbox.

Oh my bros N64 broke but it think thats just the av cable not the console. Never had a problem with sony products!

i have 3 ps1's two grey and the psone (all lasted over 10 years or whatever), i had a ps2 (launch ps2, had it 6 years, then sold it) just got my ps3 (launch- still going). Have a gamecube and a nes, snes, dc, saturn... (all still work)

But... Ive been through 3 xbox 360s in the last 2 years... theyre the console with hardware problems....

not the ps3 and not nintendo.... i think most of this is fanboyism.

The fail rate on PS3's is incredibly low, lower than xbox even. Which means you're just incredibly unlucky :?
