Has any one experienced any of these problems or even got some other faults i can look forward to getting??????

btw i look after my ps3 better than my wife and kid so its not neglect that keeps breaking it lol

its the dreaded 80 gb';s .. they have a design flaw that was supposed to be fixed when the MGS comes out in june sometime. its a different color and its supposed to be redesigned inside to help stop these problems . I started a thread 7 weeks ago . and tried to make a list of all the 80's that have fried and just a couple of prople responded .so instead I wrote to sony's head offices in san meato california. and a senior rep called me and handled my third exchange for a refurbished unit. and said if the unit fails again he would personally see to it that I could either change to a 40 ( which I dont want bacause of the memory slots and the backwards compatability) or a new MGS unit thats coming out. I have done a lot of research on the 80 gb's and found that when they first debuted in japan they all froze up in there tent at the show . that was a first chance for sony to do something about the problem but soon sony realized that the parts that were subed out . some subs made inferior products that sony didnt find out about intil the problems started to occur. thats why the 80's arent being mahufactured anymore and the new redone 80's for metal gear solid are coming out . .. I have much more info on the 80's if you want . its to much to type here . we need to start a class action suit if sony doesnt replace every 80's they sold that have the faulty parts inside. .. what do you think
