Every PS3 has a HDD, and no PS3 can function without that HDD, and every HDD in the PS3 will eventually fail.

So my friends, the PS3 has the highest failure rate of all consoles out there today, bar the Xbox 1. The Xbox 360 and Wii by comparison do not rely on a device which has a 100% eventual failure rate. Whilst the Xbox 360s HDD is just as fallible, the console itself can operate without it. Consoles like the Wii, Xbox 360, SNES, NES, N64 etc rely on flash memory to a degree and can operate even if the mechanical components break down.

I don't mean this to cause any offense, but its just a funny observation I just thought of.

strange cause when i had my HDD off it worked... but it said "PUT THAT HDD BACK DAMNIT! OR I'LL FORMAT!"

ps3's can switch hard drives lol fail

yes its Squilliam's first fail thread.

lets celebrate!

Oh my goodness double post!

My fail turned against me! must be some Star Trek shield you are using.

Squilliam has again opened my eyes.

In other news, I just Farted'!! LOL. Sorry I couldn't resist, this thread failed so miserably, I accidentally farted. LMAO!

How long do we have Squil until everythign goes wrong?

Please tell us what to do...

Don't make any plans for after 2012!

Hang on, every electronic device ever created will eventually fail. It's just that most people will discard them before they do. Therefore all consoles have a 100% failure rate, eventually. Hence PS3 and XB1 are in the same league as all other consoles.

If your console fails on you it's your fault because you didn't throw it away soon enough.
