And Sony denied issues with the lenses on the PS2 for an absurd amount of time. Company's tend to exaggerate and lie when they won't get in trouble. .02% sounds to be one of those occasions.

Honestly, do you believe less than 20k ps3s have broken?

Actually, Sony's own words were "less than 1%" which another company later estimated to be .2%.  Mars had the wrong number.

No problem with my 60gb launch unit, but i have had a couple games freeze on me, but that happens less then once for every 48 hours of gameplay, it also happened with a couple demo's the ATV one and the F1 one, but the atv one sucked so that was fine.

Tell your parents that the PS3 is one of the only Blu Ray players that can update its Blu Ray standard via a firmware update.  This means they won't have to buy a new Blu Ray player years down the road if they get a Blu Ray 1.1 player now and want a Blu Ray 2.0 player 3 years from now.  See the Blu Ray wiki if you're unsure of what 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 are.  :)

How is that relevant to what he said?
