SPOnG who was recently informed by the Edinburgh Interactive Festival, yesterday. Found out the incredible Low defective rate of the PS3 around 0.2%. SCEE founder Chris Deering, had this to say.
quoteElsewhere, SCEAs senior director of corporate communications Dave Karraker, been comparing the Xbox 360 reliability rate to there own PS3.If true, this is a hugely impressive statistic and is considerably less than the industry standard of three to five percent.
"A lot of noise has been made recently about the reliability issues of one of our competitor's systems. So, not surprisingly, some of our more ambitious PlayStation faithfuls [from fan site PS3 Vault] decided to run their own stress test on the PlayStation 3. They put it in a freezer at zero degrees for up to 108 hours and they put it in a sauna at 120 degrees for up to 64 hours -- all the while running games and Blu-ray Disc movies on it. Did it fail? Nope. Like the Energizer Bunny, it kept going and going and going. Probably not something you want to try at home, but our thanks to the guys at PS3 Vault for putting our system through the ringer."

But yes, I'm happy to know my PS3 is unlikely to break down
