You're talking to a guy with first hand experience of that, dude. But mind you, it was the laser eye that went bad in PS2s, and that wasn't so much an overheating issue, mostly wear and tear. You couldn't go to the store, buy 3 PS2s, and expect one of them to fail the first time you log an eight hour session. I played through all 3 PS1 Final Fantasys on that thing, plus Final Fantasy 10, and about three quarters of the other games I had before I had to get a new one. And the failure rates of the PS3 and Wii are virtually nonexistant, which makes a 33 percent failure rate kind of stand out. Not to mention costing Microsoft, last I heard, about a billion dollars.
