Yup. All 3 due to a faulty bluray drive. This most recent one is holding up nicely, though.
Explain this faulty blu-ray drive thing. Right now, mine is freezing a lot on me in the middle of my games. Is the writing on the wall because I really don't want to be buying a new PS3 right now.Originally Posted by I OU a Beatn
Only one of mine ever froze before they broke. It froze in the middle of the game, I booted it back up, and the spinning circle just kept spinning. It wouldn't list the game on the XMB because it wasn't reading the disc. The other two just died somehow. I turned it on and it would do the same thing, but those 2 never froze.
I can get the disc to load but it eventually freezes and says I have a disc reading error. I think mine is going out but I'm holding out hope.
If it happens on multiple games, then that's more than likely the issue. I never got a disc read error, it just stopped showing up on the XMB meaning it wasn't able to read it. It's covered under the warranty assuming it breaks within a year of purchasing it. Unfortunately for me, all 3 of mine broke out of warranty.
There are fixes out there for disc repairs, though all I've ever done is fix YLODs so I don't know if they work. I'm not sure if Gilksey (playstationlifestyles) has a fix, but if he does, I can guarantee it works.
soulja, when you put in a new disc do you see the "loading" icon in the top corner and it just doesn't go away? And the icon never pops onto the Game or DVD menus? If that's the case, it's your drive.

The games load like nothing's wrong. It's only a matter of time before it freezes and I have to eject the disc and go back to the XMB menu (hitting the home button does nothing). It says disc read error when I eject the disc. When I watched Scott Pilgrim vs. The World the other night, the DVD played fine with no problems or issues.
This may help you, Bill. I didn't read the whole thread. Working on ps3s is really simple.

That's the problem. Unfortunately, I fix people, not electronics. Guess I'm going to use the TGT Amazon link and get another PS3. *sigh* Thanks, everybody.
Dont give up on finding a local repair guy to do it. I got a new one but still intend to have my old one fixed
WTF is PSN still down or did the hackers also fry my PS3?
Yeah haven't heard otherwise as to the PSN being back up...
It's beyond comprehension how a major company could keep their network that holds 77 million accounts offline for going on 3 weeks. Just unbelievable.
I'll wait 3 months if it means it'll be a lot more secure when it comes back.
At this rate, you might be doing that.
That says alot about being highly computerized and yet dont know how to function it.
and quite frankly, as much as college kids may understand computers a little better then most. The education level and quality there of is somewhat lacking. O f course thats American kids haha, If the problem is in Japan....I dont know haha
of course there are other customer service factors etc., but this is still a factor.
but this isnt car repair or poison food, its just a gaming entertainment company... I really dont know if that should matter....
From PlayStation University:
Sony’s corporate communications & social media director Patrick Seybold has given anxious PlayStation 3 users an update about the return of the PlayStation Network service stating that the company is entering “final stages of internal testing of the new system” and that this is a major step forward in bringing back the PSN and Qriocity services.
“We’ve been working around the clock to rebuild the network and enhance protections of your personal data,” wrote Seybold via the Official PS Blog. “It’s our top priority to ensure your data is safe when you begin using the services again.”
“We understand that many of you are eager to again enjoy the PlayStation Network and Qriocity entertainment services that you love, so we wanted you to be aware of this milestone and our progress.”
“We will provide additional updates as soon as we can.”
SCEE’s head of communications Nick Caplin confirmed earlier this week that Sony plans to have the service back up before the weekend. The updated service will include new security protocols to ensure safety against future hacks. In addition, Sony will be rolling out a “Welcome Back” package to PS3 users featuring perks such as a free 30 day subscription of PlayStation Plus and one free unspecified PlayStation Store game download. Stay tuned for more information.
