Sorry man, but Sony failure rates were always above industry standards, and that's since the PS1. Sony is known for using low quality optical drives on their systems and on the PS3 most of the "fat" systems out there currently have YLOD.

Your basing that on? The old PS3 was well within the industry standards.

Ps1 & PS2 not so much. Nowhere near the early 360 consoles mind.

OT: I don't doubt they've learnt their lesson. The 360 failure rate was terrible and cost them heavily so they'll do everything to ensure the hardware is at least up to scratch. I don't see it overheating with that fan and those vents either.

I'm basing what I said from experience. Everyone one I know that had a PS1 or PS2 had problems on the optical drives, and three of my friends that have a PS3 had to change the optical drive, one of them had problems 6 months after he bought the console. Also, everyone I know with a fat PS3 had YLOD and had to buy a slim version. It's not like this is an isolated case, though, you can find easily on the internet many, many people that had the same problem.

Of course, it's nothing as bad as the 360 case. But, still, when you had to put your PS1 upside down so it would read the games and everyone else you know did the same, something was obviously wrong.
