    My console is a year old. No issues. From what I can tell, the PS3's hardware failure rate seems quite low. Certainly not a patch on the 360.

    oh most definately i felt ripped off with the xbox 360 even before it went awol on me .i was just curious as the techy in game said he only hear of it happening once before.so im pretty happy ,you cant beat ps for the extended games collection this is the year were 360 heads will feel the difference and go mmmm how come this and that isnt released on 360, im old enough just, to remember the old beta v vhs wars i feel micro soft is a bit of a beta wet willie lol.

    The First PS3 I bought was broken, it wouldn't accept discs or eject discs exactly as your own problem.

    Brought it back and got a new one on the day.

    Nothing electrical has ever broken on me, ever. However, I'm having thoughts of an extended warranty purchase for the PS3. 700quid is a hell of a lot of money.
