PlayStation 3 Stress Tested, Found Virtually Unbreakable
Gizmodo has a report that claims the PS3 is almost unbreakable.
With all the coverage of how the Xbox 360s are failing left and right in the past few months, there hasn’t been much coverage of how sturdy the PS3 is. PS3 Vault took a PS3 into harsh environments, continuously using it for 108 hours with various games and Blu-ray movies. Their findings? The PS3 is pretty much indestructible.
The guys did three tests, one at room temperature, one down at 0 degrees F (below zero), and one at 120F. Besides slight condensation on the cord in the cold and a burning smell in the heat, the PS3 actually held up perfectly fine. It went back to a working environment and plays just like normal.

It seems pretty reliable, Sony does make solid hardware and always has where Microsoft… well…. they haven’t had such a good track record with hardware. The fact that this report came out surrounded by stories of the xBox 360 failing brings a smile to my face. Sony is getting closer and closer to reaching that point where buying their console is reasonable.
Sony is the once and future king!
