Well I tried new cables and I have things plugged into two different wall sockets and so far so good, though I didn't get a chance to use my PS3 much yesterday.  I had the problem again where it wouldn't accept any BlueTooth devices but that was before I switched cables so we'll see.  I'm still trying to get a platinum on Uncharted (almost done with hard difficulty, about 55 treasures, and most of the other achievements done except for grenade hangman) so I'll get a chance to play it some more.

Yeah, I actually had a graphics card burn out on my Dell XPS laptop last year (weeks after my warranty went out and would cost $800 to fix it). 

Have you seen anyone with worst luck with the ps3? it hates you so much, its even killing the stuff around it.

Back when I had my PS3, it stopped connecting to my dsl after I downloaded one of the firmware updates. It just wouldn't recognize my dsl connection at all. I had read on various websites that attempted to help deal with this 807....... error as it is called and they suggested totally disconnecting your PS3 and modem for a few minutes and then trying again.

I did that more than a few times and still couldn't get it to connect. So, I decided to just unplug my PS3 and store it in its box for about a month hoping maybe it would "forget" whatever was causing it to mess up. Well, after that month was over, I figured I would try it again, and I did get it connect on the first time. However, I accidently reset its ip settings, and again it wouldn't work. So, I put it in its box again and waited a few more days, then I took it out of its box and hooked it up. It hooked up to my dsl again. I took absolute care to not do anything that might throw it off again, and I logged on to PSN to download the latest firmware update that had been released since the one that was apparently messing up my PS3, and I was able to download the firmware update successfully to my PS3.

After that, it didn't give me anymore problems hooking up to my dsl connection, so apparently the problem was in the firmware update. Maybe your PS3's latest firmware is causing it to have an allergy to bluetooth products like mine did to my dsl connection.

this shouldn't be an issue. If you pull too much power you'll just pop a circuit. Even if you switch outlets, you need to make sure it is on a seperate circuit or you did nothing.

you were getting DNS server errors. Turning the PS3 off doesn't fix it. All you had to do was power cycle your router/modem with 1-2 minutes of off time and it typically fixes itself.

Currently I'm getting DNS errors like crazy, but I can live with it for now.

I forgot to mention I think that my PS3's dsl connection problems (it would say found isp, then immediately dsln error) also had something to do with my internet service provider switching over from static ips to automatically generated isps last October.  So, there is a chance that the problem was with my internet service provider and not with the ps3 or its firmware update.

My 360 could detect the automatic isps but the Ps3 couldn't.  But after the last firmware update I downloaded, I had no problems at all getting my PS3 to connect to the dsl.  So either the phone company or Sony must have fixed what the problem was.

I have no idea.
Just your luck?

Maybe you've got a dodgy PS3. My friends PS3 cracked him up, it always froze on him, he had bluetooth errors, dsl errors etc etc.

He got that pissed that he kept trying to break it because he was still in warranty and wanted a new system. He ran the system for like 4 hours whilst the vents were covered up with towels. It still wouldn't break for him.

After his warranty ran out by 2 months, his PS3 overheated. Lol

I assumed it wasn't but I don't like having 10 things plugged into one outlet anyways so I took the opportunity to get another surge protector and spread things out amongst two different wall outlets.  :-p

In my defense at least no more than 3-4 things were ever on at a time (depending what activity I was going) but it still wasn't the best of ideas. >_>
