That's because just waiting doesn't put enough of a strain on the system to break down. In other words, no one uis playing it enough to damage it.

The funny thing is that you're trying to be sarcastic here. Way to point out the truth though.

And yeah 360s break more than PS3s but not 33% thats absurd. Also I odnt remember you guys admiting ownage when PS2s were breaking left and right.

Anyone who uses that excuse should just evaporate.

Funny that you said that, the one at my local Wal-Mart was constantly frozen, finally got to play one the other day at an EB (thought it was broke, guess it just really takes that long to load). I've seen/heard people say theirs broke, but that is on msg boards or over XBL, so I wouldn't calleither a reliable source. I don't personally know a single person who owns one sooo.....

Come on, do you really need proof that PS3 can break. Of course they can, and do! Its just not nearly as bad as PS2 or 360.

Mine is on it's way back from repair (actually they tried to deliver it yesterday, but I missed them, I'll get it today). I can take pics if you don't believe me. My HDMI stopped working altogether. I could use optical audio out, and the standard A/V cables... but HDMI completely went out. After 2 cables, on two TV's... I realized my PS3 needed to go away for a couple weeks. I wasn't very pleased with their customer service on the phone, but every thing else seems OK... unless they send me a dirty crappy refurb, because the one I sent them was FLAWLESS.

Actually, a friend of mines PS3 broke down while he was playing Oblivion. He got it replaced, and it didnt cost him anything, but his PS3 did break down. And before you start saying, "I want pics, or proof, or I wont believe you.." I dont have any pics, and I honestly dont care if anyone believes me or not. It broke down, fact, and I witnessed it. So, it does happen.

Go to any electronics retailer store. Chances are, you'll see a frozen Motorstorm demo in the PS3 section.

My PS3 is broken. Since the 1.92 update my PS3 is bricked from getting online. I have tried everything resetting modem/router, testing settings, enable/disable, changed from wireless to wired back to wireless, cleared browser history and cache, cleared cookies. Nothing helps its sad really cause I never had a problem prior to the update.

Indeed. Right next to the frozen 360, which is next to the Wii you can't play anyway :cry:

The funny thing is that you're trying to be sarcastic here. Way to point out the truth though.

And yeah 360s break more than PS3s but not 33% thats absurd. Also I odnt remember you guys admiting ownage when PS2s were breaking left and right.

Was the Ps2 a $300-$500 consol?=NO

Did the PS2 have as much complaints as the xbox 180: freezing, disc scratching, too loud, over heating and total hardware failure? =NO

Did the PS2 have as much complains as the 180 within its one and ahalf years after being release?=somebdoy prove that it has and maybe fanboys may have a decent argument!!!

Did SONY have to extend the warranty to 3 years because of all the complaints?=NOPE

Was a SONY representative interviewed about all the complaints about the PS2's faulty hardware and did he/she reply with a dumb remark like 'Ya'know things break?"=HELL NO!!!!

IMO camparing the PS2's so called faulty hardware to the xbox360 is point less.

The fact Sony did, however, gives testament to the amount of faulty PS2s there were. NO ONE can determine which console was more faulty, so get over yourself. I know you're one of those fanatics who still believes that the PS3 is the only real next-gen console, and that you need a bunch of unmandatory add-ons for the 360, but please, for once,use logic.

I leave my PS3 on 24/7 (unless there is a thunderstorm in the area) and it has never had a problem of any kind. And the F@H puts the heaviest load on the cell and yet it still stays fairly cool while doing this. This is proof of how well built the console is. So the argument of no games really doesn't mean a lot.

I believe the PS2 is the only console to date that settled a class action lawsuit due to hardware issues. Goggle it.

About half the time I see a Sony demo station it's broken...but I think it has to do with the fact that it is enclosed and doesn't get much air. And man it's loud! Is it really that loud guys or it just just those terrible overheating kiosks?

Two words you need to notice. The first is "estimate" and the second is "retailers". An estimate, is just that, a guess. And if retailers are saying it, that doesn't mean it's official. For it to be "official" MS would need to report on the failure rate. Also note that I'm not arguing with you about the 33% failure rate, and only challenging your sources.
