I think it depends entirely how you treat the hardware.

Well sitting in a well ventinlated area and carefully moving to my friends house maybe once a month is hardly harsh treatment.

If that were true, wouldn't Xboxes and GameCubes have the same problem? Sony makes a lot of junk, and they don't bother to make better stuff because their junk always dies after the warranty is up.

I've been happy with mine for over 3 years now. It's a first gen too I think.

I'd recommend getting a used one. At some places here they run about 80-100 bucks.

you've bought 5 PS2's that all have the DRE error? or did you mod them and screw up the soldering?

0 mod attemps.

then wouldn't you be able to get an RMA from sony? i've read that they've been sending out replacements for systems with the DRE problem.

Burnout 3 is trash.
