balmut Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) How many Ps3's have you guys had? By Wednesday I'll be on my 5th, courtesy of Sony and Continuousplay Actually, this last one didn't last more than a month, which is the shortest life yet. Also I should say, all my consoles have been the release date model Edited February 21, 2011 by balmut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindo Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 My only PS3 is the 120GB Slim I've owned for a year now. I've never even had a friend with a ps3 that crapped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) I have a heartbreaking story about my PS3 dying the day the PS3 Slim was announced, 8 days out of warranty, and the bitches in customer service that did not give a righteous fuck. Actually, that's it in a nutshell. $150 to repair my PS3, HALF the cost of a brand new Slim? Fuck you, Sony, fuck you very much. Oh, and all the saved games lost, hundreds of hours, a handful of games just hours from completion- Just thinking about it makes me rage.

Urm....no I have allot of free time, so I really just ware them out. Also, when they get replaced, they're replaced with a refurbished model, as they don't make the one I have any more. heh, 1 per year of release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excel_excel Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Just the one, a pre-owned 60GB EU launch one that I got in 2008 if I remember right....I think I did.....hmm. Its served me well, upgraded the hard drive last year to a 320GB, needed the space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'm on my first. A 40GB that came with GT5 n GTAIV. I upgraded it a couple months in to a 320GB. I think it's about 3 years old now, I got it for myself with leftover bursary cash from 1st year. Also ended up getting a TV/2nd monitor too since it didn't work with my then monitor.

Lemmiwinks Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) Just the 1. A launch 60 GB I picked up in December of 2006 and upgraded to a 500 GB a couple years back. And I use the shit out of the thing too. So I dunno. Used 6 out of the 7 days a week now for 2-8 hours a day. Oh, and when folding came out there was a point when I wasn't playing a game or watching a movie it was folding@home, always. I didn't turn off the PS3 for a stretch of 13 months. And it still hums as quiet as a slim. The ONLY issue mine has, is the fold down door that covers the card readers got a little bent and busted when the console was dropped one time. So it doesn't sit all nice and flush anymore when it is closed. Edited February 21, 2011 by Lemmiwinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I have the 80GB that came with MGS4. Other than some freezing issues here and there... its runs like a BOSS. Though I think I should invest in a Slim. My 80GB is too glorious to die! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retsu Seiba Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Only a 80gb model. Phat just like all my other Sony consoles. That cause SIZE does matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I have the 80GB that came with MGS4. Other than some freezing issues here and there... its runs like a BOSS. This. I upgraded it to 250GB, so I think I'm set for anything that comes my way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm on my second one, technically, although its been sent to Sony and repaired. The system died earlier last year (YLOD), had Darksiders stuck inside it no less. I sent it in and paid the total of like ~$180 to have it fixed; I could have gotten a slim, but I want to keep my BC. So until I can't repair mine any more, I'm keeping my 60 gb phat. So that's 1 dead ps3, 1 dead Wii, and um... 5? dead 360s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Wow, and I thought paying $90 to fix my Wii's disc drive was expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm on my second though it's not because the first one broke. I bought a 160gb slim with a pretty decent bundle. Only a few weeks later the 250gb one came out with uncharted 2 as a pack-in, I traded in my 160gb with two old Wii games and £20 and got the 250gb with UC2 and GTA IV. Bargain.

SomTervo Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) damn right! (that's the reason for the "I have a dreamcast" option ) Mate, my Dreamcast fucking died! Don't rub it in! I tried it years after I had last put it away, and I'm pretty sure the laser reader is out of action. I'm still desperate to replay Shenmue 1 and 2, and Jet Set Radio. On-topic: 1 PS3, 80GB edition, pissed off about missing the 60GBs while they were around, I would have killed (and still would kill) for PS2 BC, and it runs smooth as a baird. Crashes once a month or so, but aside from that, all dandy. Great machine. I'm also on my 5th or so Xbox 360. After having mine broken for about 6 months, early last year, I finally got it fixed in time for Alan Wake and Red Dead Redemption, both titles I had been waiting about 4 years, give or take, each for. Guess what happened on the first night I got Alan Wake? RRoD. You have no idea how much I raged. (Thankfully the legendary guy at the computer store gave me a new, spare 360 Arcade they had downstairs for the price of fixing my old console the very next week. It's the Jasper motherboard version, so it totally chilling and I've never had any problems with it since.)

balmut Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Nooo! I've recieved my replacement, but turns out it didn't save my latest Section 8 and Fallout NV trophies! And without a save file, I gotta do the whole game again just so i can finish it twice more, and get the pick pocket stuff damnit Of course the Section 8 stuff will take the longest. Also, I've noticed that although Fallout does freeze, it never crashes, you just gotta wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMalice Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh1jB4hVJRg But honestly, I have 2. I have an 80GB that broke down on me. I was going to get it fixed because my PS2 was pretty much done (although it surprisingly plays a game every now and then), but I buckled and got the slim because I wanted a new controller and the extra year manufacturer's warranty. Maybe one of these days, I'll send the old one in, but I doubt I'll get my BC back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I've had 3. First one was the glorious launch 60 gig I got at a store at midnight and a terrible fate befell it. My asshole friend was dicking around and knocked the fucker off it's stand and broke the bluray drive...Made him pay 600 dollars the fucking ass. Then the next was a MGS4 special edition PS3 that had still backwards compatibility, but then that broke after and a month and now I am stuck with a shitty 80 gig. MOTHER FUCK.

SanaEquiesterer Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) I splurged and got the limited edition Gunmetal Grey MGS4 PS3. It has lasted me thus far, but it makes me nervous sometimes. The odd time I'll be playing and it makes a muted click-like noise and then beeps immediately after, and I have no idea why. I don't think its hot (I touched it), but for some reason I want to add that I remember hearing the fans flare up after that. Not sure if I'm remembering that correctly, though. Because of the nature of the release of the console, they were only covered by a one year warranty that they had you send to a different address to get serviced. I can picture myself opening the system to fix it myself one day. Edited February 25, 2011 by SanaEquiesterer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
