PS3- poorly made?

[james]

i have been hearing rumors that playstion took shortcuts on parts for the ps3 giving it small memory and terrible parts but insanely good graphix. If anybody knows anything about this that is true info please tell me so i can see if iam spreding the wrong rumors

[diablo]

i thikn they did that to get the console out quickly because the wii and the 360 were alerady out. they also used expensive parts and thats why it was so expensive when it first came out. i heard that rumor too lol, you're not alone

The Wii came out AFTER the PS3...

Anyways, it would seem like my 60GB is very well made. And the older PS3's...Sony lost money for each one made. The newer ones are probably crap though.

And 60/80GB isn't small memory...unless you mean memory like RAM.

i also heard they made a another ps3 version with 80g of memony instead of the oringinal 30g.....thanks for your reply:-)

Well, there's the original 20GB and 60GB, which cost way over their shelf prices to develop. Then they took out all of the PS2 hardware to make the 80GB. Then they took out 2 USB ports, all ps2 compatability, and something else for the 40GB. But on the plus side, the 40GB runs WAY cooler than the 20, 60, and 80. Now they're making an 80GB with the exact same features as the 40GB.

So the PS3 went from good and expensive to not so good and still somewhat expensive.

The PS3 is a tank, you'll have no worries about it breaking down.

i've never had a sony product break down, i have all the playstations except for PS3 along with 2 digital cameras and a bunch of other sony products which still work after so many years lol

[Trunks]

My bothers play station broke after about 5 years. The lends stopped reading the disk....

Having the ps2 or ps1 since it came out isn't that big of a deal. Look at atari's and NES. They have been out for over 20 years, a lot of them work fine. It doesn't matter really who makes the product, they were all made to last.

i have my ps1 and ps2 since they came out and they work fine...well PS2 at least, PS1 i haven't tested for a while - my sega genesis should work fine too and thats one of my oldest consoles - dont feel like checking to confirm though lol, its work

really? because PS2 was total fail, the fatty being the worst offender. Nearly as bad as the 360. PS1 wasn't that much better, I've must of had like 4 or 5 PS2 fail and several PS1.

yea i bought my ps2 when it first came out, still works like new - my sis plays it more than i do now

[Shixx]

PS3 has no problems. the PS2 only thing that happened to me was it wouldn't read some of the last gen Games. my PS1 worked great till the end.

[EpsilonX]

I've had my PS1 since about 1998 and it still works perfect (i gave it to a friend though since i have ps2 and ps3 but he no longer has ps1 and wanted to play his favorite game)

[Yuuki]

Hmn..
I haven't heard this.
But I was pretty disappointed when I found out my Ps3 couldn't play Ps2 games. ><
It's only 40gb. =/
I believe it's the 60gb that can play Ps2 games?

Anyway. Would that count as "poorly made" ?

No, that's your fault for not reading up and knowing Sony took out the PS2parts to save money. Poorly made would be PS2 failing because of disc read errors, poorly made would be 360 getting a RROD. Anyways, 20 gb can play PS2 games, 60 gb as well, old 80 gb PS3's can as well. 40 gb and the new 80 gb's won't be able to.

[Yuuki]

I didn't even know a thing about the Ps3 cuz I didn't want it. .-.
My dad bought it for himself.
He is technologically impared...
Didn't expect him to know a thing like that. So yeah.

[xelivo]

thinking of geting ps3 right way to go?

[jakncoke]

Yes, It's built like a tank and has more than enough games released now to wet your pallet and 2009 looks to be another great year for games coming to the PS3

[Ashieboy]

i have the original 60g and it runs fine

[CookieMonster]

a buddy of mine's caught on fire at the power cord plugin on the back of the console a week after he bought it. (not a common problem at all) he got a new one from sony (only took a few days) and the new one has worked fine ever sense. I really want one. im a 360 man, but i like a variety.

:S fire? whoa
yeh im planning to get a PS3 sometime

[otis]

It's better than 360, it's ford vs. honda. 360 is an amazing console with crappy hardware. Like a Jaguar.

[koalla]

My ps3 hasnt had any issues. I love it so much more than my friends xbox360

[younging94]

I have a 40 gig. Almost ran out of space for the 2nd time. But, i still love it.
And you can just buy a (memory thingy) if you have a low gb one. Its from some laptop thing.
Wow, i forgot what the hell it is.

[hidekipooj]

I would have said the Ps3 is the best system ever and 360 fanboys are crazy....until I got the red-blinking lights yesterday :-(

hard drive?

[Choke On Candy]

My ps3 freezes up every once in awhile but nothing to the magnitude of the 360. This is my first ps3 never been broke or anything and I'm on my 3rd xbox. Until ps3 makes the chat options more available I will be a 360 for life.

[Akukaraca]

ps3 should fade away quick..

[EpsilonX]

ps3 should fade away quick..

you should fade away quick > :|

anyways

I like my ps3. the blu ray player is amazing, and i read tons of complaints about newer standalone players being slow and crappy, so that's cool. and also, i like the controller and interface way more, and it's a nice foot warmer for when i'm cold. ps3 = well made imo

[jakncoke]

lol if PS3 can withstand selling average for nearly 3 years so far and cost Sony billions, why do you think they'd give up on it when it knocking on the door of profit? Doesn't even come close to making sense.

[Choke On Candy]

Not a very big trade in value on ps3. Person told me at gamestop today lucky if you get 200 total if you trade in.

[jakncoke]

well that's gamestop where they rape and pillage on a daily basis.
