3000 hours on one game only. I salute thee. Requeiscate de pache (Rest in peace)

Sorry  for your loss dude, now buy a Wii U :D

Create Mode in LBP2 XD...

O.O I really hope I cloud saved at least some of that work

Wow lasted 6 years, you got tons of gaming done with that. Lost mine after 3 years :(

Sorry for your loss now go buy a new one!

Yea i hope so too for your sake. I recently had ps3 freeze and when i restarted it reformatted my hard drive deleting all saves. The newer games still take a toll on my phat unit. 

I know your pain.

I'm going to do that pretty soon and will make a thread for my project log.

Who said you need to replace thermal compound every two months? I put MX-2 the first time and when I heard it start blowing like a blowdrier again, I replaced it with Artic Silver 5. I changed the spread method to a dot instead of evenly spreading it myself (with a creditcard). It ran pretty well this past summer (90-100 degrees in my room) with no problems.

I hope mine doesn't die. :(  It would be nice to know how many hours these first generation systems were supposed to last.

I bought a PS3 slim in June 2011. It still works perfectly i think

I have no doubt, a yeal and a half old Slim system is a far cry from a six year old fat launch model though.  Your's should last much longer if its well taken care of.

Just bought a Superslim from Walmart! I wasnt able to pick up the Blackfriday Deal (I already had all the games it came with except Infamous 2)

BUT!!!

I managed to convince the store manage to sell me the Uncharted 3 Bundle with 30 Days PSPlus and Dust 514 (with all DLC for both games) For the Blackfriday deal so BONUS!!
