Recommended playing time of PS3 - Blu-ray Forum

Guys, my PS3 got its blu-ray lens replaced because the previous one was not anymore working. Now I want to be careful with my new one. What's the recommended playing time of the PS3? How long?

You mean recommended time for a game before anything happens to the laser? Not sure, but I know I have done some marathons in Civ: Revolution and haven't had any issues with mine.

I mean what's the maximum time that we should play our PS3 so it will last long.

no such thing. it's almost 2009, you should be able to play 24 hours a day without a problem.

I think he means about what is the lifetime of the laser.

Like "how many hours of usage before the laser is liable to go bad".

total, not per day.

Along the lines of the "1000 hour lightbulb" or whatever.

It depends, between blu ray movies and games I play mine a crapload, at least a couple of hundred hours since I got it last year, and I never had a problem with the laser, my parents on the other hand barely watch movies or play games and their PS3 laser crapped out on them this weekend, so they're gonna send it to get replaced, it just depends.

Definitely the "or whatever". I have an original 60 gb that I bought two years ago and a day, and I've got well over 1000 hours worth of saved game data. I've played for 4-5 hours at a time before. The only game I've had any problems with doing so is Fallout 3, and we all know that's just a game glitch in how it uses RAM improperly. Shut it down for an hour (excuse to eat something), then get back to playing another 4-5 hours.

So it was replaced by Sony? Put that thing to work!
