How Long Did Your Ps3 Last?

How long did your PS3 survive until it broke?

I just bought myself an 80GB PS3 and my friend gave me a call saying that his PS3's laser broke. This could be easily fixed by opening it (also voiding warranty) and cleaning the dust right?
I remember my PS2 wasn't running discs properly so I opened it and cleaned the PS2 with compressed air, and everything worked fine. Would this also work with the PS3?

Is there anything I could do right now, that could make my PS3 last a lot longer? I promised myself not to move my PS3 until I have to, and to turn off my PS3 after every 1-2 hours lol

 

If his laser is BROKEN, then cleaning it will do nothing......

 

Ummmm mines fine =/, had it for a while now. But yeah cleaning a broken laser wont do anything =/.

 

Buy 360

 

Mine is still in the box in my closet.

 

since the console came out ive had no problems with it at all.

 

4 months. the laser broke, my brother voided the warranty to clean it, Sony still fixed it.

 

Lol. My friend's PS3's laser broke after 4 months also. Was your warranty with a store or Sony?

 

Tbh, none of my Sony products have ever broken.
Hell, my Ps1 still works.

 

Yeah mine too xD. I don't play on it much, I usually just play ps1 games on meh ps3 now but still, shows you that the systems can last a good amount of time.

 

7months and its still fine.

 

do you play alot? take the discs out when your done?

your lucky then, lol

 

i play everyday.

 

what about the discs? that was screwed me over on ps2/ps3

 

That one worked for me...
