Does the original PS3 have an pre determined life cycle??

well look at it this way, even if the PS3 has a failure rate of just one percent, that's 280 000 machines that can or have been eligible to kick the bucket.
That seems like a lot, but it's still just 1 out of 100
Of course, the fail rate is probably higher, but with even 280 000 bleating people on the web, it's going to seem like it's an epidemic.

Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner.
