wow they broke the gamecube into 6 pieces and it still worked. That was pretty impressive stuff.

I have a feeling the Wii is a bit less sturdy though. I don't know why, it just doesn't "feel" as sturdy as the Gamecube did. And those slot loading drives can be finicky. Could be just my imagination though. I'm not willing to test it. 

Ehh leao-j i already posted that.

1. ...it was only done to the PS3, this doesn't claim that it is "the most reliable", it just claims that it IS relaible.

2. So ah, who plays video games at 0 or 120 degrees, anyway?

i was going to say what the hell 120 degrees!, but someone already has.... bit misleading saying 0 degrees [meaning celcius] and then 120 degrees [meaning farenheit].

it is quite impressive, though i would bet the 360 and Wii could both have easily done the freezer one too [wouldnt be a freezer after 360 finished with it], and Wii could have been played in a sauna too, though i would suspect it might die if you turned it off with Wii-connect 24 on.

point is, a lot of electronic devices could work in those conditions [as long as the metal components are not exposed to the water vapour], its time that is the main factor now that consoles use hard drives and disc drives... particularly slot loading.
i would bet my n64 will outlast all three of this gens consoles.

I definitely understand the annoyance of my fellow Finn, but I believe we can forgive these poor foreigners this time. They simply have no idea of how superior our sauna culture is, and they did keep it on for like 64 hours. Heck, chalk it up for protecting the planet, but I'd never keep a sauna at proper temperatures for that long.

Oh, and I agree you can't say the PS3 is the "most reliable consoles yet" because they didn't do these tests to any others. Very impressive in any case, although I'm still waiting for someone to tie one to the end of a car with a chain, drive around the block a couple of times, and have the console still work perfectly when they get back home, like was done with the Gamecube. =P

The real test would be to place a PS3 inside an overheating 360.

I would like to see how the Wii fares. It's quite a sturdy console.

Too bad it doesn't have any games to play on it

I actually considered buying one just a jock strap. I can picture the ads now: "Buy Sony's new extremely durable jock strap! Also plays Blu Ray. Oh and games."
