Only 0.2% PS3 dies

Some good news for Sony. In light of Microsoft's infamous "1-in-3 Xbox 360 dies" saga and its subsequent announcement of the $1.X billion extended warranty, Sony is proud to (sort of) announce that their PS3 failure rate is "around 0.2%", at least according to Chris Deering, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe founder. That's 2 in 1,000 PS3 dies. It ought to be, really. With a price tag like that, a lot of us would expect the thing to last, like, forever.

So Ken Kutaragi is not that crazy afterall. At least he makes one hell of a machine that lasts forever.

So would you like to buy a cheaper system that will probably die constantly and had to go to the repair shop more than the number of time you got drunk, or pay a lot of money for something that will probably last till your grandkids learn how to drive?

Of course, there is also another option of buying the cheapest console that would probably last longer than your TV.
