David Karraker of Sony has blogged up the success of a PS3 stress test in which fans failed to break the PS3 throug means such as freezing the console and putting it in a sauna at 120 degrees for up to 64 hours while running games on it. Karraker smugly remarks that just like an Energizer Bunny, the PS3 just keeps going, and going and going.

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 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. Check out their full report.
