Damn that sucks man.....well i have a ps3....i got mine the first day it came out.....(600 bones with the talladega nigths blu ray included) i have about 60 hours of playing time between only the cod games....thats not including 3 years of online baseball or madden games....dont forget about Gta4 battlefield, red dead, fight night, killzone resistances or uncharteds....and also passing out numerous times with blu ray playing movie or streaming netflix where the machine was left on for 10-12 hours or more......
all that abuse and NOT ONCE have I EVER had a problem....
(knock on wood)
the biggest thing for me that I have to worry about is spilling beer on my controller....
in summary, just get a PS3 i mean online is fucking free for god sakes
