His 360 has died on him one time and that was replaced. But his PS3 in less than 8 months has now failed 3 times what is up with these things? I am glad I didn't pick one up when he got his. It seems to try to boot up then just goes silent and the light goes red and flashes. Has anyone else had this happen yet?

If this is a legit question and not some comment tryng to spread FUD, then your father has been extremely unlucky. The PS3 has a very, very, very low failure rate...some say less than 1%.
Can it be a problem with his electrical. It seems odd that he keeps going through systems. A power conditioner/high end surge protector could help with this if it is indeed an electrical issue.
