Although obviously not anywhere near the same level as the 360's infamous RROD problems, I have read many reports of early PS3s dying due to the Blu-ray drive failing.
Yep there has been a good few dying from what I've read. Still less than 3% they say but how true that is I dont know.

I personally beleive its also alot down to how you treat your equipment. Alot of people turn them off when its still writing to the HD or when its in the middle of loading something.

My friends drive failed after switching it off while still trying to access the HD.

I am hope thats the case anyway as I would be gutted if my 60GB failed
