Your issue is noted, and I thank you for your constructive attitude.
To answer the question once and for all, the TV is not the issue here, nor is it upscaling, as I fully test functionality every time I get an exchange system back. The reason I would know such a thing is that I have a second TV for my PC, a 27 inch 720p olavia piece of crap that has the same issues with any exchange units.
If a friend comes over with his own PS3 and I hook it up, every aspect of the PS3 works, no issues what so ever.
Finally, to answer your question of how my years it took for 4 consoles to have these issues, it was more a mater of months, not years, as its been one after the other in exchanges.
My original, fully working 60GB unit died after just about 2 years.
The exchange units are what are flawed left and right.
Oh yea, to anyone wondering why the system weighed 13lb rather then 16lb, the blu-ray drive they stuck in it is cheap as hell.
Its so f#cking loud.
