Mines in great condition, no problems. The occasional freeze up once a time, nothing to worry about. Great system, solid hardware well worth 659 CDN

every piece of electronic i've had has frozen in the past, its no defect :P, i think ps might be coming out with some sort of console insurance too, that covers all your PS stuff. but dont quote that, just heard it was something they were gona start up in the UK soon./

ThePS3 is built like a tank no problems here at all even sitting in a cabinet with just barely enough room for it to breath.

DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS WITH A 360.

mine already froze 4 times while playing oblivion, always after i leave house or cave, but i'm sure that's because oblivion has a few glitches and it has nothing to do with my ps3

i posted this in a seperate thread but i had a problem with mine. i suspect the optical drive died cos ity wouldnt reaqd any discs 5 weeks after i got it.

However, Sony's customer service exceeded my every expectation and i should have a replacement delivered tomorrow.

i guess i was that unlucky 1/100 that got a crap one :(

not to worry i have every bit of confidence in sony after the way they handled the fault.

I have had my ps3 since launch and I have not had any problems with it. It runs perfectly and I have left it on for days. Its a great piece of hardware and well worth ur money.

Mine has frozen a couple times. Last night, while I was playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, the game froze, so I shut the console off with the PS button. When I turned the console on tonight, it wouldn't load any discs at all. No games, no movies, nothing.

Really sucks.

I had Warhawk freeze once mid-game. It was nothing big, I just restarted. Ofcourse this was after 3 straight ours of gaming.

Former GameSpot Editor Jeff Gerstmann had his PS3 freeze at the end of his "podcast" on his blog, and it was just sitting in visual mode while playing music.

Even so... It still beats the RRoD.

If anyone wants to see how he reacts to the PS3 freezing, here it is.
I thought it was kind of funny. It's near the end of the video.

Haven't had any issues with mine, nor had any of my friends.

One impressive piece of hardware.

So far there have been a very small number of PS3 failures. This even holds true to the ones that are on 24/7.
