PS3 repair/warranty services= close your eyes and take it

Well, my second PS3 dies. I know it's a piece of hardware, but still, a 90 day warranty?! Are you ******* kidding me?! I bought the PS3 because it's obviously the superior console, but I've had 2 break within 17 months. Now I have to pay 161 bucks for a refurbished console that will most likely break within half a year again, and I'll be in the same situation.

The PS3 has all the big exclusives I want, but I might just go back to the 360. I know the PS3 is superior, but at least when my 360 pooped out, they gave me another console with a fresh 3 year warranty, and I didn't have to pay a damn thing.

I had to list 7 games up on amazon just to cover the cost of the repair, and I'm still waiting for the rap to sell so I can actually have the money for Sony to royally **** me. The consumer comes first, my ass!!

So, I can either:

1. get another system that will probably fail, even with pristine care.

2. Sell the refurb and more games to buy a new PS3 with a 2 year warranty and essentially getting rid of all my games

3. Go back to the 360, which WILL break, is inferior IMHO, but they'll give me a good warranty.

So, I'm ****** either way. I'm really enjoying the next gen of tech failure and consumer cannabilism.

I'm on my 3rd PS3 so I can feel your pain. A 90 day warranty is laughable, makes me so mad as well.

wth are you doing to your ps3 0.02 percent failure rate and mines lasted 1.2 years of heavy use

The .02 percent failure rate "stat" is stupid. I've taken excellent care of both PS3s, and they still break. At least with a 360 when it breaks I won't have to pay for it, and I won't get screwed over........

That's really bad luck, sorry to hear that. Hope everything works out OK. Is your PS3 well ventallated without anything hot or too close to it? I always wanted to ask this, did you have the original hard drive in there or an upgraded one? If it was upgraded was it 5400 or 7200 RPM? I have a lauch 60 gig with a 250 gig HD 5400 RPM. I air blow it about every 4 months.

My hdd is 5400 rpm, 250 gb. I vacuum it lightly once a week.
