So I'm playing Resistance today and my dad walks in front of me. He walks right into my usb headset cord which trips him and which also causes my PS3 to fall 2 ft off the table it was standing on to hit the ground. I figured I had a 600 dollar paper weight on my hands. Turned the thing back on, checked everything out and its all good.

If that was a 360, it would have at least scratched the disc

Well lucky for you that it's still working fine. Any marks/scratches on them ? This is one of the reason why I dont put any of my gaming consoles in the living room.

Im glad everything is ok, and yup I agree this bad boy is built really well. My friend actually dropped his when he was walking up a set of stairs and fell about 1-2 feet and other then a little dent in the side still works well.

yeah there was a youtube video about them taking it apart, and there was a good 1/2 inch of metal between the outside and anything that mattered.

Most consoles are starting to follow Nintendo's/Ford's "Built like a rock" theorem.

That's why the PS3 is awesome. Sony built it to last because they didn't want to deal with half of their customers returning them for repairs.

I can't keep the PS3 on the ground because its carpet...and carpet is bad for videogame systems.

No scratches or dents on the console at all.

And my Resistance disc doesn't have any scratches either, just a fingerprint or two...

So I'm playing Resistance today and my dad walks in front of me. He walks right into my usb headset cord which trips him and which also causes my PS3 to fall 2 ft off the table it was standing on to hit the ground. I figured I had a 600 dollar paper weight on my hands. Turned the thing back on, checked everything out and its all good. NavigatorsGhost

Dude, I actually cringed while reading this. Glad she's alright, though.

Dude do you still have the rubber things on youre ps3? because my ps3 won't move an inch no matter how hard I pull on the cable...

I mean when I have a usb cable connected to it instead of pulling it out near the ps3 (that would require me to stand up) I just take the end and tug a few times untill it flies out but the ps3 does not move an inch.

See thats what WE pay our hard earned money for, a good quality product. I personally havent dropped my ps3, but have dropped the Sixaxis controller, ps1, and slim ps2. They all work fine, Sony is known for good gaming produts.
