| WereKitten said: If we want the cold numbers, then SquareTrade - an independent company dealing in extended warranties - estimated the failure rates of PS3 in 2008 at about 3%. Since that's an average that includes early 60GB models that had a higher failure rate due to the overheating (it had extra chips for BC and SSD interface, its CPU and GPU were larger and more power-hungry), by buying a new PS3 today you're going to have a product with a way lower likeness of failing. Someone talks about "less than 1%" but I can't give references for the source. |
Ah, yes, the facts...I want my apology leo-j!
@OP I would feel perfectly comfortable purchasing a PS3 if I were you, the Falure rate of the new ones is almost nill, like I said, stay away from the 60 GB models, and you should be fine.
