By most accounts and testaments I've come across, it seems a 40G. PS3 is decidedly for those that like rolling dice and other games of chance. This sucks as I'm ready to buy one of these Sony-bred nags but hesitate due to what seems to be a perpetual air of remorse around those that have.

It's not so much the $ as it is the console's chance of failure. Anyone have data that suggests the bugs have been exorcised?
