had 2 failures. My first ps3 60GB i bought June 2007, lasted until October 2007 (blu-ray drive failure). Sent in for warranty replacment and received a refurb, it lasted until August 2009, Yellow light of death. I ended up ripping it apart to retrieve my battlestar galactica disc and tossed the ps3 in the garbage...screw paying $150 to have them repair/replace it and only get a 3 month warranty.
My living room 40GB ps3 i've had since Feb. 2008...no problems so far...but its lightly used compaired to my bedroom setup. Hoping i will have better luck with the ps3 slim i just ordered to replace my 60GB system.

I've had 2 launch PS3's, one that has been running constantly, and one that I leave off. Haven't had any problems with either of them. Granted the PS3 I have on constantly is used mostly for movies/light gaming.
*knock on wood*

I purchased a 40 gig and the video went bad in about a week. Took it back and exchanged it and never had an issue until I sold it. Now I have a PS3 Slim and I am interested to see how reliable they are. I have also had 1 360 go bad but not RRoD.

only 2 YLoD Votes so far no where near the RRoD fiasco, and yes seems that the PS3 has had some drive issues but so has the 360 as well.
