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.

Don't let 360 users hear that, they would freak out. Ive still found many that deny the RRoD as just a few and people freaking out when its not the RRoD. Anything to defend their owners, MS.. I ment their consoles.. ninja

I actually heard alot of people saying the display PS3s at stores were hardly ever working, and part I suspect is they shut it off at night and didnt remember to turn it on, as Ive had mine run without any issues.
