I wish Sony would design a PS3 that can last 5yrs. Mines died in 1 year.

I just watched this video recently of a guy in a GT5 Miata vs his real Miata at Laguna Seca:
[u2b]7dmiqeTjTKQ[/u2b]

The specs say 137hp/984kg vs. ~100hp (can't imagine it comes out more than 137 on an engine dyno though :/) and 21xx (more than 984kg), I don't think you can look at the 0.003 second difference and say that the simulator is very realistic because of that.

I have gone trough several. First one lasted near 3 years tough.
But have been unlucky and gotten a crappy "replacement products every time" that broke down in no time. One good thing about Norway. Warranty on stuff like PS3 is basically 5 years. My current "new" 40gb fat edition seems to work fine now tough.. *fingers crossed*
You guys should back up your save game files. Especially from GT5. Not only can your PS3 break down. But your safe file could corrupt. Have happened to several people I know..

You can change the HD to bigger one. That's what I did. I have to 40GB PS3, but after warranty expired, I bought 500GB HD and swap em out w that (of course, I've backup the data w external HD first)

And here's the funny thing. I hardly ever played mines when I got it. I am not a hardcore gamer.

The quality on the PS3 is good in comparison to xbox360. (atleast before, do not know these days).
But PS3s are not as good as some might believe.
As said, I have been trough several. Red light- not starting it, fans going on max speed for no reason, broken blu-ray disc laser.
My two cousins, both of them have to send in their PS3s now.
Have another friend who have one with broken blu-ray disc.

Some of the times when I had gotten a replacement PS3 it only lasted in about 10-50 hours.. (not play time, "on time".
Anyway, some are just unlucky. Some are lucky. Does not always matter how old it is, or how little you play.
What matters tough, is do not go trough several 24h b-spec races without letting it get a break. And be sure that it will have good ventilation when doing stuff like that..

PS3's are a lot more bulletproof than an Xbox.. I've had two PS3's in the life span of multiple 360's... which was 15 Xbox360's since 2005.

The old fat PS3's do have their venting issues, then some of the older ones.. YLOD. the Slim, however. Does not. The thing has been on for a week. Not even a stutter. Not even a sound of the fan.

Wow~ UK is getting crappy PS3 or something? Cuz all my friend never had any problem of their PS3

RaceR · 01-07-2012, 12:56 PM

UK?
U mean EU, or Norway?
Here in Norway I believe different chain stores gets their PS3s from different places. I know that one of those store chains used to import from another EU country. I highly doubt there is a quality difference around the world. Bad batches on the other hand could be a possibility.
Probably just people being unlucky. My cousins have the new slim version. Most people have no problems with their PS3s.
