So how many PS3's have burned out for you?

[lucv13]

Waited 26 hrs in line for my day 1 still running rock solid 20gb PS3, wish they'd hurry up w FF XIII and GT 5 though

[mikejet]

No PS3's. 3 360's.

[Deadset]

PS3 - no problems, have the 60 gig launch version

Xbox 360 - no problems, have the 20 gig launch version

I just have 1 of each.

[Musashi]

0 since March 2007. 60GB model, US edition.

Woah, you'd have better odds hitting the lottery than get that many defective consoles, so I'm guessing there are things you might be able to do to prevent some of this hardware failure.

Do you have all your consoles hooked up through a good surge protector? Do you have smokers in your house? Do you clean and run the vacuum cleaner regularly? There's something going on that's shortening the life of your consoles. You should try figuring it out, so you don't keep going through this.

Maybe he's like the character on Fringe last night?

ZERO-problems with the 3 I own.

Zero problems, I have a launch 20 GB model. This thread only reaffirms how low the failure rate truly is.

My 60g launch PS3 failed on me after 6 days. The replacement has been running like a champ ever since!

[Psx0005]

My 60GB purchased back in Aug '07 crapped out Jun '08 (bad optical drive but that was from child "accident"). Replacement 60GB working like a champ, and child in question is no longer allowed anywhere within 100 feet of current PS3

I have an 80 gb Motorstorm model — BC ROCKS!! that I've had for almost a year. Haven't had a single problem with it until I started playing Burnout Paradise last week. Since then it's froze on me 5x and 2 Blu-rays have frozen on me too, (Doomsday and SOP).

Has this happened to any of you?

I might have to call Sony for help if it happens again. Don't want to mess up my machine.

PS3 - Since Jan '07 60GB version, 0 problems
XBOX360 - Since Nov '07 20GB version, scratched up my Forza 2 disc, can't play a few tracks, other than that, ok

i've had my ps3 since launch day, after sleeping outside for 3 painstakingly long days, it was all worth it because my original 60gb ps3 is still running strong

Sony sold well over 5 million PS3s worldwide in 2007 alone, and you are going to form a MTBF hypothesis based on a sample size of 127 postings?? WTF, over.
