Man, sorry for the loss of your dog...

I still keep a lot of pictures of my cat that passed away around 2 years ago. I actually kept his ashes... I just couldn't let him lying on the dirty ground :/

You know , as a Sony fanboy, im really disappointed at the quality of ALL Sony's systems. Maybe its just my luck, but , around 2 weeks ago my PS3 got the yellow lights of death. The same day I hooked up my original playstation only to see that it wont read any games. Let me also clear something up that, I take care of my stuff like its my bible. If theres a crease in just the manual on one of my games, I dont even want the game anymore. Anyways, I sent in my Ps3, along with a 190$ check to get my $600 dollar investement back to sony, and hopefully they will return THAT same ps3, or else i wont be able to recover the data (the sony rep told me) of all my pictures of my dead deceased golden retriever 11 1/2 year old dog whom just passed away the same week my Ps3 died. So in the meantime waiting for the repair I've been playing my PsOne slim today and it has froze 4 times in the last hour. I've got every system besides a wii and 360 there is..... (Sega cd, 32x, dreamcast, nes, super nes , n64 , gamecube, saturn, etc..) and yet they all still work! I'm starting to become really optimisic on the quality of hardware sony makes. Maybe its just my luck. If ONLY it wasnt for all the great games that i can only have on playstation platforms !!!!Damn you SOny!!

Did you know that the user manual of the old fat PS3 specifies to leaves 6 inches (half a foot / 15 centimeters) of air flow from any wall surface from all sides?

I haven't had problems with my PS3 but good lord the sixaxis that came with it was utter garbage, one of the worst pieces of hardware with the sony brand sticked on it.

My old Ps1 and Ps2 phat are dead but my PS2 slim is still working.

What dualshock problems are you talking about?

Sorry buddy, but the only console made with true quality parts is Nintendo. The longevity is amazing. I am saying this without being a Nintendo fan.

all three are made with quality part's it's just that quality control may not be as good as in other places and that may have to do with which company produces the part's and where and their track record is in production, though I have my self had good luck with every Nintendo system and Playstation system i have ever owned, though not so much as with Microsoft , not because it's bad or anything, my first xbox was stolen.

The original Xboxes are of higher quality parts than the PS1 and PS2. The 360 was sabotaged, but now has a lower failure rate. Nintendo is untouchable in quality.....you could drop that thing offf of a roof. The PS3 was launched as a $600 system with "high quality" parts. That makes Sony look bad. Microsoft has already paid their dues for screwing up, so its about time Sony started answering to why the 40, 80 and 60GB systems are getting the YLOD.

For what we know, the PS3 failure rate is very very low. Also, each time I asked people if their YLOD PS3 was having 6 inches of airflow around it always resulted in a negative answer. Theres thousand and thousands of play time on my 60GB first generation PS3 (movies/musics/videos/games/folding at home), it is still working very smooth at an average of 5 hours per day (I use it for all entertainment in the living room). Its by far the console I used the most even if its only been 3 years and a half. The other day I was messing with my projector connection, and the PS3 dropped from his shelve. Guess what, after a drop from almost 2 meters, it is still in perfect working condition. Actually it was worst for the floor than the PS3. Theres a big dent on the wooden floor now lol.

Sorry for the loss of your pet, you should keep pics in more than one place especially the important ones. Hope you get your ps3 back although it may not last much longer....

Obviously you never had a NES :P  And if you did obviously blowing into all those cartridges burnt your memory brain cells :P

I only got rid of my Playstation because I bought a PS2.

I still have my PS2, since I got a non-BC PS3 and it works great to this day.

So, you have bad luck :P.
