I don't believe 2%-4% of PS3s have this error - that would almost be an epidemic.

10m PS3 --> 300,000 faulty consoles due to this error alone.

2-4% of hard drives fail. How do you explain the ones in the PS3 not? If it makes you feel any better, the same rate fail in the 360.

Hard drives fail. It's a fact of life.

Yes - they fail.

But over what time period? You don't get a 2-4% failure rate "instantanously" - that is why there is a QA department, and why there is a quality control procedure for hardware manufacturing companies. There is NO way that 3% of hard drives put into new PS3s are "faulty" - just no way.

If you are saying that 3% of all hard drives fail over a period of say - 4 years - then I completely agree with you. Then within 3 years, 3% of launch PS3s will have failed for this reason. This I agree with.

 


lol, you have no idea what your talking about. An HDD can pass all QA testing and one week later when purchased fail. Like I said my HDD has bad sectors, does it annoy me that it cost me $40 yet my 160GB HDD cost me $30? oh hell ya. You know whats funny, both my HDDs are Western Digital which is one of the best brands of HDD you can buy. Funny how there is still chances of issues isnt it.

The only two type HDD that has less chance of breaking would be an SSD or a hybrid HDD


hmmm...

Thats what Shams said...

The lights on a 360 are codes for debugging, the two reds/two greens is not the RROD

I did, and I heard different.

Anyway, I have to go. My GF is sining at a club, and I have to go listen to her :)

Is she good?  What kind of singing?

Karaoke. And she is good, but not great. There were around 50 people that sang last night, and I would put her in the top 3. She is one of those that when she sings, people say "wow, she is good", but if she was the lead singer in a real band, people would say "she kind of sucks".

She is at least good enough that I don't mind going, and I love her, so that helps a little ;)

Oh, and she sings everything. Last night she did mostly rock.
