What is interesting is how some people have very good luck with certain consoles and other have terrible luck with the same ones. I primarily use my PS3 for movie watching as there aren't a lot of exclusive games that I want to play on it. I have had the 60GB version since launch. Since then I have had to have it repair at my cost twice. Once I got that stupid yellow light, and the other was for the Blu-Ray drive. Both happened after the warranty period on the PS3, or at least that was what I was told when I called into Sony to get it fixed. My Wii had a graphical corruption problem and I called Nintendo about it. My Wii was out of warranty as well, but they cross shipped me a new one claiming, "Send that to the US Nintendo headquarters. We've never heard of a problem like this." They also gave me some points for buying stuff from the Wii Store. And of course, my Xbox360 has failed on me. Only once though and it wasn't even the RROD, it was just a single red light. Luckily, I had purchased the extended warranty and I was able to get it replaced. I haven't had any problems with any of the three since these above issues were dealt with. I try to keep my consoles in very well ventilated areas though, and that may make a difference.
