I bought mine in December of 2007. BD-ROM drive went 3 days after one year warranty expired. I had to pay Sony $160 to get it replaced. The replacement unit's BD-ROM drive died 2.5 months after I got it from them. Thankfully, it was still under warranty and was replaced. I'm on my 3rd PS3 in a year and a half. I have never, in my entire gaming career, had a console break on me. Still have my launch PS2 in working order.
Unlucky, I guess. Happy with it otherwise. I use it more as a media server than gaming, actually. It's about 60/40.
