i never even advertised that i did repair ps3's and still got as many calls about ylod as rrod. it seems that the bad ps3's do last longer, but fail just as much. on a side note, hp laptops also seem to frequently die from the exact same problem. the other big issue w/ ps3's is the cost to replace a blue ray laser compared to a dvd laser ($80 vs $10).

I can flash/jtag/repair 360's, pm for details.

that is the truly funny part of the situation. they were mandated to use tin based solder so if little kids ate their 360's/ps3's they won't get lead poisoning. read up on rohs compliance for more info.

yep, another example of government regulation fucking up accomplishing the opposite of what they want: now the xbox's have created a whole lot more waste then if they had just made sturdy ones in the first place
The thing is that the consumers in north america got screwed due to the EU's ridiculous rules. They had debates for years about this stuff and the politicians all assured everyone that the rules gave technology plenty of time to adjust and that those applications that couldn't would be exempted.
Then, when the actual rules were written and implemented, there was no time for sufficient testing, and you couldn't get exemptions in almost all cases, so the manufacturers just found something that worked in their tests the best they could for cheap and shipped it out. Then after the solder fails, they come back.
Guess who pays for that? The politicians who lied? Nope...
Another example of government incompetence.

I got my PS3 when MGS4 was released. I only played it for several months, shoved the console into the closet and I went back to my PC, then I decided I felt like playing it again for another game (was this "hardcore" RPG style game, Demon Hunter or something?) then I got Black Ops, a month or so of playing that.... BANG! It crashed during a game, I turned it off and turned it back on and the disk drive stopped working Refused to pay to get it fixed so I took a sledgehammer to it... felt good man. Then, half a year later I get a Xbox 360 slim, play it for a few months and get bored.
Moral of the story? Consoles are shit.

Thats not true man, console and pc gaming both have their benefits and downfalls. You can only play so many styles of games with a keyboard and a mouse, plus you cant play with your buddies in the same room on the same screen.
The skate series is a prime example of a kick-ass game that would suck dick if you tried to play it with a keyboard and a mouse.
plus, consoles dont get obsolete as fast as pc.
you could go on and on about why either one sucks..
moral of the story? get a sick gaming pc and a console. I love my ps3 because i can stream all of my content from my pc right to my tv through my gaming device. pretty convenient.
