Just wondering what kinds of problems you have had(problem reading disc, machine start etc) if any and how it works today. Also state if its a 40 GB, a 60 GB or a 80 GB. If you had any problems, how did you solve it?

Dittos on the kids thing. Every now and then I'll here that *beep* sound of the PS3 coming on and rush in the living room to either see my 2 year old with a sixaxis in his hands or my 4 year old with a barbie DVD in her hand. The thought of their little sticky, candy-stained hands touching my baby makes me cringe. :D

Ummm...nothing honestly. Nothing at all. I keep it dust free with an anti-static duster and cover it if I wont be home for any amount of time, and have never had any sort of mechanical error. I have a 40GB model PS3 with a 160 GB HDD.

It suffered through 2 years of no Valkyria Chronicles. Once VC was finally put into the sytem it breathed life again.

no problems at all. the only thing my ps3 has done is be reliable, which has allowed me to enjoy many hours of playing amazing games such as fallout 3, cod4, killzone 2, etc.. :D

got my 60gig on launch day way back when, and so far (fingers crossed) not a single problem at all, and I play it every day

hurrah!

oh and is dust really a playstation fault? just dust your room more! mine gets dusty sometimes, but i just use a damp cloth and it stays shiny for a few days, doesnt actually affect my gaming experience, its not like i eat off it or anything!

My first PS3 had the laser burn out. They said it was to a factory error but they fixed it for free, plus i got a 50$ PSN Network card for free too. But Dust seems to bug it, but i treat it like a baby :) 80GB Model, but looking to get a bigger HDD

I've had a 60 GB since launch day. No problems till I upgraded the HDD. I occasionally get a "Cannot start. Correct hard disk could not be found." error message. I just restart it, and the error goes away.

I take the thing everywhere I go. It's been through its fair share of x-ray machines at the airport and what-not.

My first PS3 broke because of YLOD, but my current one, which I have had for about a year now, has had no problems.

My 40GB model stopped playing Blu-Ray discs recently. It's being repaired now but it's the only major problem I've had with my PS3.

My old 60GB stopped reading discs, but only suffered from dust. I am very careful with technology.

I was probably one of the first people to get the PS3 and it broke (doesnt want to turn on and I get the famous Yellow Light of Death or however you want to call it) around 3 months ago, I called SONY and they told me its $150 for me to send it and get it fixed... Should I do that or any recommendations?
