How long did your PS3 last before it's first breakdown

yes I had a BC PS3 60GB Model I owned for nearly 3 years, sadly it started playing me up just before Christmas, it kept on freezing on me and beeping at me(due to overheating issues), so it did not get YLOD or BD problems, but i sold it off quick before it did, and I had to buy a new ps3 slim to replace it.

Sounds like similar issues to me, I have a 60Gb BC model, and mine keeps freezing then taking forever to load sometimes, i got it on the UK release day, so one more month and it's 3 years old.

Can't bare to give it up, my partner is a photographer and we use the card reader to check out her photos in huge HD. i rarely use the BC like to know it's there. Besides, i just prefer the look of this one. It's nice to know there aint that many around comparitively.

I've now moved it into a more open space, it's not neat, wires everywhere. but it's running better than it was.

watch out a lot of 60's have been dropping lately(on here), to be honest the slim model looks alot better close up, and i actually like it more than my old ps3 phat, it seems to be running sweetly now. All you can do is hover it out regularly, keep it in a wide open space, don't have it on for too long and keep your fingers crossed (either that or get a ps3 slim lol)
