Sony Denies PS3 failure rate

It should be obvious that the statistics are fake. First of all, you can't determine failure rate a few weeks after a product launches. It would have to be completely untested.

Secondly, a 40% failure rate is way outside of the realm of consumer electronics. The *only* device I've ever seen approach that number (and exceed it handily) was the Xbox 360. So far, the PS3's reliability has been awesome. I've only heard of one case where a PS3 had to be returned, compared to the same forum where anywhere between three and five people report newly faulty Xbox 360s every day.

It should be equally obvious that you can't accept the possiblity of a problem with the 40GB PS3. I am skeptical of the 40% rate, but I don't think that Sony can do no wrong. Remember the P$2 bad disc error? Sony may be repeating history.

And if you want to hear another "failure" story, my 20GB PS3 has been exhibiting a rolling ghost band lately (I don't have this problem with my Xbox 360, Xbox or PS2). I'm running both the TV and PS3 through the same UPS, I've replaced the video cable - even ran it directly into the TV (bypassing the component switch), but no luck. Since I've had it for less than a year, I'm thinking of calling for warranty service. While technically not a failure, it's unacceptable.

 Remember it >.< I recieved money from the class action suit whenSony was denying the problem. I actually had to go in fix it myself and void my warranty.. it pissed me off a LOT which is why I can be hard on Sony from time to time.
