Mine wasn't a 60gig, but it was an 80gig BC model from 2007. It lasted 4 days shy of one year, with several hours of daily use during the whole time I owned it. In-fact, the day before it broke, I tweaked out on Fallout 3 for about 18 hours straight. When it broke, I had been playing it for 6 hours prior.
The refurb YLOD'd when I turned it on, and is about 8 months old with extensive use. Went to pop in Street Fighter IV to play with a friend, and BAM! There it was, YLOD. F...
Typically, yeah, I'd agree with that. I had a launch PS2 fail on me DRE style (as did every single person I know who owned one at the time), but the next one I bought is still functional today, after approximately 6 years. Never had any issues with my original PlayStation either, which also went through several years of use.
I'm not trying to claim the YLOD is anywhere near the epidemic RROD numbers, but it's foolish to believe the 0.5% PR claim. It's obviously at least in the...
Anyone who believes in the 0.5% PS3 failure rate may as well believe Microsoft's claimed 16% 360 failure rate.
As someone who had the YLOD, paid for the $150 refurb, and got the YLOD again a couple nights ago (though my system started working again the next day while on hold with Sony tech, and is currently functional), I'm on the side of whoever gets Sony to extend their warranty.
Forecast shows severe tropical disagree storm and possible bubble loss incoming.
Fail article of the highest caliber. Kojima himself said MGS4 was created just for the fans, and it totally shows. The whole game was fan service.
The most definitive pedophilia of this generation.
SevWolf is correct, DLC is region locked on the PS3, games are not. You have to own the game from the same region as the DLC.
I love the hack 'n slash genre, but I'm not a fan of Ninja Gaiden, so I'll be passing regardless of how it scores. Judging by the PS3 demo, it's still plagued with Itagaki's patented "worst camera angles in modern gaming".
Still, I gotta say it's funny that G4 scored it the same as the original with all the extra stuff and enhanced visuals.
For people incapable of navigating G4TV.com for the NG2 review:
Played Halo 2 for about 20 minutes once, just...
No Silent Hill 2? Fail.
You can make anything delicious if you deep fry it enough.

As others have pointed out, only if you skip a cut scene or die, and I don't even remember them when I died.
The load time criticism is a red flag. Uncharted didn't have a single load time past the initial one. It's one of Naughty Dog's signature moves, no loading. I believe they confirmed Uncharted 2 will play the same.
Embargo ended, the media's legally pent-up review wad was shot. Not exactly rocket science.
No such thing as good anime? If all you see is Pokemon, Naruto and Dragonball Z, then yeah, I agree. If you actually bother to look, there's some real masterful anime out there.
Awesome. I've never played one before, but I did download the demo of this from the Japanese PSN store, thought it was pretty good.
Meh, I just don't think their score matches the great things they had to say about it. They say it's not perfect, but that it's closer than any other game out there, and it still scores the same as Resistance 2 and Gears 2? Yeah OK...
Pretty damn far from important, though. Not the first time, and certainly not the last.
I'm working on Ghostbusters, Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter IV, BlazBlue, Mirror's Edge, and starting next week Fallout 3: Broken Steel. MAG beta too, if I could ever get past that 2.6gig update.
Borrowed several games from a friend to fill my plate and try to make the wait until October 13th easier. It's still tough.
Yeah but that was just from their own internal replacement numbers, right? My console would show up there, cause I went through Sony for my replacement, but how many people return them at retail? How many people buy a new one? How many people just say f*ck it and don't do anything?
