The "unbreakable" is broken

Yes, tonight my PlayStation 3 bit the dust. First time I'd turned it on in two days, played for around 15 minutes before it suddenly turned itself off. I thought maybe there was a problem at the mains but the red light came back on so I pressed that, the green light came on as normal before a yellow light switched on for a split seond before it began flashing red non-stop. Looks like the Yellow Light of Death has struck. I've been through four seperate 360s but this one hurts more than any of them. Not only is my game still in the system, but my game saves look to be lost and I'm probably going to have to pay a Hell of a lot of money to repair it. Compare that to the 360 with its free repairs, the HDD being fine and the predicatbility of it failing and my PS3 dying hurts a lot more.
 
What happened to the consoles of old? My NES and SNES still work yet my PS3 only managed 3 years and the 360 falls apart constantly. It's a disappointing turn of events and I can only hope the next generation is a lot more reliable.
