I have two friends whos 60gb ps3's have failed. one was within warranty so he had a replacement with a couple weeks. the other one's ps3 was out of warranty and I convinced him to pay the $200 something to get a replacement, this took a little longer though (he was planning on pay $550 for a new one). they both got 60gb units as replacements.

Just how high is the failure rate on the PS3's?

The real failure rate, not the .5-2% bandied about.

 

 

 

As far as I know that is the REAL failure rate; PS3's are very reliable it would seem on the whole, I don't know anyone who has had theirs break. Obviously I could just have a very lucky group of friends, but from reports the PS3 and the Wii are apparantly very similar in terms of reliability.
