There is no lens problem, some software compability issues yes. PS3 is at less then 1% failure rate.

If you want to say the reliability is good, just say "The PS3's reliability is good" ... Don't make up numbers!

I've heard "less than 1%" also. What's the real number and what is your source?

I don't have a number and I don't have a source ... Just having heard "less than 1%" is not very trustworthy, or believeable. Also, less than 1% is not (in general) believeable because (unless Sony found 'magical' hard-drives) the hard-drive's failure rate shoud be noticeably higher than that.

Are you sure? I thought that hard drives were very reliable these days. The PS3 is barely more than a year old so I would expect very very small failure rates from solely HDD failure.

(Wikipedia sez 600,000 hours MTBF for average quality SATA HDD, which would be 2.5% in a year if they were all running 24/7. So I would be surprised at more than 0.5% HDD failure rate to date in PS3s.)

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
