How long did your PS3 live or has been alive?

[madster11]

I've got a launch edition 60gb. Australian version, so emulated PS2 games, not hardware.
Disc drive's a little slow accepting discs or pushing them out, but otherwise it's perfect. Dropped a 320gb HDD in it about a year ago for more space, and it's been opened and cleaned by the previous owner (late 2011ish).

As a comparison, i'm on my 3rd 360. Had a 2005 built launch console last until early-2010 (RRoD), replaced it with an original Elite that went until mid-2011 (RRoD, accidentally broke a capacitor while reseating the chip) which i then replaced with a RE5 edition Elite that's been working ever since, with a noisy disc drive (i install everything to the HDD).

Also on my 2nd wii. Played the first one for a max of 25 hours (after having bought a ton of stuff for it, including GC controllers+mem card+Wind Waker collectors for the OOT&MC disc) before i traded it in for my original Elite, then i bought a second one early last year. Went into a box mid last year, hasn't been out since.

My PS3 is still the exact same one that I got on Launch night way back in the day. It hasn't died once, though the HDD is really small =C

I had a 60GB BC model on the UK launch day.

Still going strong.

Did have an original 60gb fat one but it broke last year so thats 7 years of extensive use. I did fix it 3 times after it broke and it would work fine for a month or 2 then it would brick again with the yellow light of death and I would have to repeat.

360 lasted 5 years with another 6 months after repair (again original).

Suffice to say I was extremely unhappy with the pathetic build quality of last gen the 360 in particular was atrocious I dont know anybody in RL who had one for over 3 years that did not break at least once.

These two and the original Xbox (got unlucky with these had 2 break) are the only consoles I have had that have failed and I have owned most since the SNES. At least Nintendos seem to be reliable if short in other ways.

Hope the PS4 and Xbox One arent as unreliable, I have also had 2 PCs and one laptop die in 10 years so not to happy about that either.

Got a 60gb fat model that I bought on the May 7th, 2007. Still going strong, making it 8 years, 2 months and 24 days old as of today. Tough it has seen little use the last 3 years.
