Is their a risk that the 160GB PS3 will have any problems like Microsoft's red ring?

Question

Are the problem that happened to the older ps3 do you think will happen to the new 160GBps3

Answer 1

Actually the PS3 has a 0.02% fail rate. Somehow it will probably be even less now....

Answer 2

I highly doubt it. The problem with the ps3 was an update which they fixed with another update. The ps3 usually dosen't have any problems. I heard what destroy 360 heard when I heard the ps3 only has a 2% failure rate. I was told buy a Game Stop official that the Xbox 360 breaks 1/5 times, so anyone that has an Xbox 360 better extend their warranty. I'm not making this up I swear!

Answer 3

It's actually .02% fail rate.

Answer 4

it has a 0.02% fail rate, so it wont fail if u do get a 160GB PS3.

i also hear tht theres gonna be a 120GB model 2.

however i have heard some drawbacks to the 160GB PS3 (not sure it will apply to the rumoured 120GB model 2).

1. there will be no backwards compatibility

2. instead of 4 USB Ports, there will be 2

thts about it for now.

i feel tht those are minor problems cuz if u hav PS2 games, u obviously hav a PS2 rigt? same thing wit the ps1 lol

but the USB port, yah...i want 3 PS3 controllers cuz i hav 2 siblings so the 2 USB ports might be a problem for me lol...unless us 3 can conserve the 30 hours of wireless battery beautifully. lol sounds easy =D

Answer 5

Slight chance, I think you mean Sony's Yellow light of death so it won't probably have problems but it does fail sometimes but it has a fail rate of 2% while X360 has a larger fail rate.
