PlayStation 3 has 1% return rate!!!

While retailers reckon that 33% of 360 owners are plagued with the Red Ring of Death (or 3 Red Lights of Doom), only 1% of PS3 owners are returning faulty consoles.

An EB games associate said to Ripten: "Failure rates for all other consoles were not high enough for EB to consider revising their policies. Most other console systems have a failure rate of less than one percent, including the PlayStation 3."

The 360, although selling well, is becoming (in)famous for not only giving up the ghost after the warranty expires, but also scratching discs if not being careful. The PS3 has not been plagued with any recurring problems, and the retailers' figures seem to support this.

So the PS3 may be more expensive, but at least you will only have to buy one.

The PS3 is a tank, won't break nor scratch the disk for no apparent reason like other systems.libthegod

Well it is a lot heavier than the other consoles; it even feels heavier than my Xbox.

Wait just wait to Ps3 owners really have a reason to clean off the dust of their console and actually turn it on and you will see a higher failure rate...aroxx_ab

Wonder what the trade in rate is? I know I traded my first one in. I know a lot of people who have as well. OMG ANNECDOTAL EVIDENCE LAWL 30% RETURN RATZ OMG. Sorry, cow logic overcame me for a second.Vandalvideo

You need to get back on the meds. Just because you stop having "cow logic" for a few weeks does not mean you are cured. I am sorry but you will have to keep up the medication regimen.

I'll believe the PS3 is hiccup free after a few years, 3 broken PS2's have taught me caution...Xerlaoth

It's not 30%. If it was they would legally have to do a recall and be investigated by the govt... i believe 30% is over the mark for when they don't have to be recalledkcpp2b

lol LEMS are making lousy excuses..Stop saying we dont play our PS3s or so, or ignorant stuff like that, i play mine almost everyday without nop freezing or anything, unlike 360 you can only play upto 2 hours tops and then the game freezes or something like that, well atleast mines did..Blanco98

Consoles aren't toys?

I do think DVD players and all that other junk do get called in after a 30%.

No, sony's hardware fails after the warrenty is up, and they make you pay for them

MS fixes them for free and helps out in every way possible

Ive had 3 360's now (on my 3rd) and its been reletively simple to trade it in, I miss what a week of gaming, compared to having no gaming at all really (this is a joke at the PS3 not having games, laugh fool)

I bet you that the ps3 will never have the same issue as the the red ring of death. I challenge you to find a ps2 that wont turn on. the lasers fail but they always work, so ps3's lasers may die but replacing a laser is much cheaper than the whole system when the chips cook themselves.

Who needs hardware reliability when you can play 'console exclusive' titles that are exceptional! Of course, y'know, things break. TekkenMaster606

But you need GAMES to play on that console. Something the PS3 is lacking in. But, at least you can get a multiplat 1 year after released on the 360. :shock:

More AAA + AA than the Wii. Almost as much AAA + AA as the 360 at the same time after launch.

No games huh.

Sony=Hardware company

Microsoft=Software company

That is the difference.
