 Technical Problems  

There is no mention in the article about the Yellow Light of Death (YLOD) which indicates a general hardware failure on the PS3.

Something should be mentioned in a new section, titled ""Technical Problems"". 
Addition of ""YLOD"" has been discussed here in the past and the main reason it hasn't been included is that there weren't any reliable, notable sources discussing it.

A huge problem with the video game industry is fanboyism. Criticizing a product is basically a declaration of war. Anyway, the problem is at least known and suggested. I found this briefly searching for a reliable source. Maybe add a little blurb about it being suggested?   

Wait, let me get this straight: you think we should include a blurb about how high hardware fault rates have been suggested, but proven wrong?

Every piece of hardware that is ever mass produced has a certain failure rate, and unless that failure rate is oddly high (like the 360) it's not goi
