Death? [Post In PS3 101]
I bought a PS3 for many reasons, a big one was that it wasn't gonna RROD like the 360. Lately I have been seeing threads on multiple forums with topics of dead Ps3's and I wanna know, what are the chances of mine breaking?

Much lower than a 360 breaking on you.

Death comes for us all at some point.

 "One of the first things we teach you at my Academy is that the PS3 never 'breaks', but rather is sentient enough to determine that it's in the best interest of its owner to take a hiatus from gaming to expand his or her personal scope...or perhaps catch up on some quality PS2 JRPGs or the exciting and ever-expanding PSP library." (Seriously, I think the defective rate is very much in the acceptable 1-2% range. When Sony overtakes Microsoft--even in the States--in a couple years, this will probably be the main reason why.)

Yep, last count the 360 defective rate was 59% in the 6-12 month range. That's ridiculously high.
PS3 failures have been very low, no percentages known yet. However, one thing to note is that since the PS3 failures are so low, a single failure post gets kept on forums. Meanwhile on the 360 forums they stick all the failure info in one topic, of which there are a lot more posts. If they let single 360 failure topics stick around on the board it'd be overflowing with such posts. |

I'd say the PS3 failure rate is around 5%, to be honest. Most common issue (probably 3-4%), is the blu-ray disc diode getting stuck, too dirty, and so on, so it can no longer read discs. Very few just get three beeps, yellow light of death error, or HDD failure.
