Great job on the podcast guys! It was a little unclear on the PS3 warranty but it's a 1 year warranty now.

LIMITED HARDWARE WARRANTY AND LIABILITY FOR THE PLAYSTATION®3 COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM

Sony Computer Entertainment America ("SCEA") warrants to the original purchaser that the PS3™ hardware shall be free from material defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the original date of purchase (the "Warranty Period"). If the product is determined to be materially defective during the Warranty Period, your sole remedy and SCEA's sole and exclusive liability shall be limited to the repair or replacement of this product with a new or refurbished product at SCEA's option. For purpose of this Limited Hardware Warranty and Liability, "refurbished" means a product that has been returned to its original specifications. Visit PlayStation.com or call 1-800-345-7669 for instructions on how to deliver the product, freight prepaid, to an authorized service facility.

Yeah, the warranty is much better for the PS3 than it was for the PS1 and PS2. It was 90 days for those two systems. The PS3 is also much more reliable than either of their previous efforts. That is one solid piece of hardware. It is nice to see a system have problems as the exception, rather than the rule!
