I've had 2 PS3's since my first purchase slightly after release. The first one died almost 2 years in, not even taking the best care of it. I think I moved twice in that span. Always had my intercooler on it in those early PS3 days, you'd be stupid not to. Now my 2nd PS3 is running smooth after years still. Oh and my first one was replaced through the best buy warranty I purchased at the time of purchase. You'd be pretty stupid to purchase an expensive system and not buy the in store warranty and hope to only rely on the manufactures warranty, although it is quite good and quite reliable. You must be throwing your PS3's off of rooftops. Or you just fail at life. My guess... All of the above.
      bought my first one used with 6 games for $440 and it lasted by far the longest.  From what I had heard the intercooler was a joke but maybe I'll look into that again.   Only warranties I've been able to get in this case were the warranty after they refurbished a system.  I always hear how they are quite good and reliable yet 3 dead systems in 9 months says otherwise.  I don't throw ps3s have taken them to friends houses but make sure it's well protected as I transport it. Don't let it get banged around, make sure when it's at a friend’s that it's plugged into a surge protector and also ventilated. Was the failing at life comment necessary?
