I've heard of other people whose PS3's "died" too. They worked fine and then one day couldn't read a single disc. Weird.

Ha! If it weren't for microsoft screwing up so badly with red ring, sony would have retained its bonehead crown award for defective systems. I remember when, at launch, 20% of PS1s were soon to be doorstops.
I guess no matter how new and hot the technology is, it all comes down to how much the company, or the manufacturer, really cares.

Worst comes to worst, sell it to game stop. You'll get about $40 for it, but that's better than a paper weight.
Then buy a PS3.
I don't know. Why would you waste your money on a Zelda game?

^ You did it again but this time that's not your fault, it's mine.
By pressing the quote button two quote tags are being generated. But because I put one there in my explination, the forum "thought" that's where my quote ended. Errr, I hope that makes any sense.
Long story short: you did it right this time, even though it doesn't look like it.

Oh bugger off you two. Also, remember that all electronics will fail sometimes, but it is the company's job to make them fail LESS QUICKLY. So cut them all some slack, after all, they are the 2 most powerful home consoles to date.

I understand about electronics failing at times however, I'll never cut anyone any slack if I spend a substantial amount of money only to find my system committing suicide in less than a year. It's bad business and just plain weak in my opinion.

That's bullcrap, almost everyone on this site owns decade+ old systems that still run flawlessly. Yet the current generation 360 has a 30% failure rate and we're just supposed to accept it? No, it's shoddy workmanship, and that's that.

I won't debate whether that purely speculative 30% number is accurate or not, but regardless, it's an issue that was resolved in 2007 with a hardware revision. These stories of RRoD are less common every month as older systems are taken out of circulation. So even if that number is accurate, it no longer applies. What I find hilarious, is how Sony defenders hang onto these numbers and ride them for all they are worth. You'd think they have forgotten that Sony has released systems with unacceptable shoddy workmanship in the previous two generations. Shitty hardware or not, it doesn't prevent me from owning PS1s or PS2s. Nor will it keep a X360 out of my living room.
For what it's worth, these same retailers claimed the 40Gb PS3 had a 40% failure rate. Take from that what you will, I don't believe either statistic.

I didn't want to argue PS3 vs. 360 so much as I wanted to suggest we shouldn't take shoddy electronics laying down. What Rob suggests is true, sure, everything fails at some point; but from refrigerators to consoles nothing seems to last anymore.
I brought up the 360 because personally that's what I see failing left and right. The percentage is probably not correct, but it's got to be up there. I mean, of twelve people who have responded to this thread, four people said they've had their 360s RRoD, and that puts it at over 30% because I know several people who have commented don't have 360s. Of four close friends who have 360s, only one hasn't had problems with his.
But I don't remember why I'm arguing this.

Because it's so easy to fall into arguing this kind of thing.
