There are some very light reports of "the yellow light of death" but it only effects something like .25% of PS3's. The turn around time is 2 weeks if you send your system off to Sony. So you can read that as the PS3 has no issue. Mine was in Iraq with me for 8 months in the summer (130 degrees F and tons of sand and crap). Looks like hell but runs like a champ! Had it since November of 2006.

Congratulations you did find that button :D

im dislexic i cant spell tht well and just talk about what this discution is about or dnt write on it at allstephen_360

Dyslexia is a learning disability that manifests primarily as a difficulty with written language, particularly with reading and spelling. It is separate and distinct from reading difficulties resulting from other causes, such as a non-neurological deficiency with vision or hearing, or from poor or inadequate reading instruction.[1] Evidence also suggests that dyslexia results from differences in how the brain processes written and/or spoken language. Although dyslexia is the result of a neurological difference, it is not an intellectual disability.

BS you are just too lazy to hit spellcheck. My whole family is dyslexic so I am quite familair with it. Next time you self diagnose yourself pick a better disorder and learn how to spell it.

i have been dignosed u ideot

unless you seriously neglect your system like I've heard of some people doing before, it doesn't randomly die on you. I've had mine for a while and its still running good. :)IntegraBella

You are wrong, I have TWO PS3 60GB (one from launch the other from July 07) and I take very good care of them and in the oldest one the Bluray Drive died it could not read any discs, but in 3 days Sony exchange it for me.

I also own 2 PS3's and never had a problem with either. The only Sony product problem I ever had was my launch day PS2. It stopped reading DVDs after 2 weeks. Sony was real good though and gave me a brand new one. Unfortunately in the process some kid got screwed out of his pre purchase. I felt a little bad, but hey I was there first.

That's the truth, Sony should pay him a nice sum of money for that story.

i know several dyslexic individuals and each of them misspell words for their own benefit. i had a gf with dyslexia and she had a terrible time with "th" so she used "dem" instead of them for example. she did this even in college and her professors understood.

not that any of this matters. if this guy has dyslexia or not, arguing over it is a lil pointless.

Well it's important to spell well. like that people can see you are well spoken and they take you more seriously.if ya talk liek dis da peeple think ya are a stoopid hick wid no inteligunce. especially on the internet where people judge you all the time. Give them on less chance to criticize you! :D

To answer your question, there are no outstanding and notable hardware failures that warrant being worried about it. As long as you keep it ventilated, clean and not dusty, you shouldn't have any problems. the most common failure is the lens not working anymore but even then it's very rare.

I have some medical problems and sometimes what I want to say doesn't always come out like it should and then some days everything is perfect (lately it's been much better with different medications). This is one of the main reasons I feel good about donating my PS3 to the F@H project when I'm not using it. I feel for anyone that struggles with life when they have some type of medical problem.

stephen_360

To answer your question, yes, they don't have any mass failure, and have a very low faliure rate about 2% chance. The only games that seem to be messing up is GTA4. I have never had a problem playing any of my games, my system has never died, and I've owned it for almost a year and a half.

Well, Xbox 360's have a 33% failure rate. PlayStation 3's have a 1% failure rate.

If your's breaks, it's just bad luck
