My PS worked for years upon years, and my PS2 that I got back around 2001 or 2002 still works like a champ.

It was still working just fine and so far my Gears one has been great...no problems.

On the flip side, I had a launch PS3 die after a year a couple days. I had another fat model die after a year and a few days. I then even went as far as having a slim die after only a year and 5 or 6 days. It was the bluray drive each and every single time. That's one of the reasons I can't wait until Microsoft and Sony both start becoming more accepting of digital content delivery.
Yeah, I've had pretty good luck with my 360s. My first 360, the disc drive started going bad after a couple years, getting stuck and being a bitch to actually get to open up to remove or insert discs, but other than that, there were no issues with it. And no problems whatsoever so far with my new 360 slim that I got last year. Some of my friends with 360s have had 3 or 4 of 5 different 360s since launch.
