My 40GB its blu ray player died after nearly 8 months old. Never ever I experienced consoles dying that fast. That's why I have on my 80GB PS3 now a 5 year warranty. If anything happens I don't have to pay within these 5 years. I got a replacement within 2 weeks from Sony and keep it now as reserved. Besides the very weak box they put the PS3 in, the service and console are both perfect!
