Obviously still better than M$ 100% defective hardware rate. And this only affects the models in that region correct? :shock:

My 360 is magical and didn't break down so it must be 99.9%

neither have either of mine or anyone i know...it must be 99.7%

"40GB model has been made using revised manufacturing techniques designed to lower costs, and features fewer cooling vents than previous models.

^^This can't be a good thing

100% failure rate? I have had my 360 for nearly a year now and not one problem. The 3-year warranty totally makes up for it anyway. Is Sony rich enough to pay for all of those broken PS3's? I don't think so. Have fun cows.TMontana1004

All of them are considered faulty. But not all of them fail.

It has still got a compromising design flaw, meaning it is defective on technical standards.

Halleluah!! Someone who can differentiate between being 100% defective and failing. And I thought the cows only did the denial dance. :shock:

lol, not at all. If it wasn't for this problem I'd have a 360.

lets inject some common sense into this discussion.

first off, all we know is that a website of less than credible origin claims astore (no idea as to what store or retail chain) some where in belgium (location unkown) is having 40 gig ps3's returned, somewhere in the neighborhood of 40%.

lets run this down

non verifiable website
unknown store
unknown region of belgium
no actual confirmation that any of this has actually happenned
the only one that says it has happened is a personal site with a .tm address

so what we really know is that once again the internet + fanboys = must ruin gaming!!

the reality is that in general, with all we actually know for fact, the PS3 enjoys a very low failure rate. not becasue they are known for a history of such (the PS2 had its large share of defects) but because they have learned from past mistakes.

facts are facts.

so please people. as gamers we can either add to the community and rise above all this nonsense and ignore clear and blatant attempts at systemwar faboyisms....or we can roll around in the mud and pretty much act like the children the rest of society thinks we are.

your choice

Umm it listed the store, Game Mania. Just becuase YOU don't know of it, doesn't make it fake. I suppose you know of every company in every country?

lol...wait a day and see what happens??? go to the supposed page where the "news" was posted yesterday...and what do we see ? """ Er is een fout opgetreden! """ in other words...hey this story was BS we had to take it down...sorry

Not saying this is true, but sometimes news is broken by the little guys before the big guys catch on.

Also, company's that have problems, don't like to confirm things until the facts are thrown in their faces and they are forced to play ball.

What conclusion should be drawn is that is too early to draw any real concrete conclusions. So in the words of the cows...just wait.

heres the official word from sony...
"Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has issued an official statement to categorically deny that there is a 40% failure rate on the newly release 40GB PS3 as has been reported on a Dutch website. ""

next time dont be so anxious to wanna get bad news...you might not end up looking silly the next day

YOu must be new to SW. Sony releasing this statement will only make fanboys believe the %40 is true. You see, according to anti-sony fanboys in SW, everything Sony always has and always will do or say is essentially evil and a lie.

Don't be ridiculous. Not everything they have done is evil and a lie, just everything we know about.
