Only console to ever break on me was my original 60gb PlayStation 3, first thing that happened was one of my discs getting stuck inside it and havimg to send it back to Sony, got it back and it was working fine, few weeks later, a yellow light appeared, that was the end :( looked online for a fix, none were permanent and then rung Sony up, they suggested I get a discounted slim PlayStation from them as the fix for the issue is only temporary, devastated isn't even the word!! Still got it though, not getting rid of that beast XD
