2nd Time My PS3 Has Died!! - Blu-ray Forum

BigRick · 04-23-2008, 02:53 PM

WTF Sony! First time it just wouldnt display anything to the TV. Now this one wont read the discs! Thats bull and they still want me to pay 150! I had the warrenty at BB and they told me that they can only give me 40gb and that one wont be covered from the warrenty that i paid for. Luckily i can send in my system to BB and they are refunding my 599 on a gift card. This sucks as GTA is just around the corner!

If you still want a PS3, I would wait for the 80gb MGS Bundle. It will be released in June and with the Dualshock 3. IMHO I would rather have MGS over Motorstorm any day.

Im going to get a 40gb when i get my gift card then when the 80gb ill get that since i will still have money left on the card and just pay the differance. Then move the 40gb to my kids room.

Up to you.
Sucks though. I use my PS3 all the time, never had any trouble with it at all. And yet I have a friend whose PS3 stopped reading discs too. I told him it was because he had a power outage and it wasn't on a surge protector.
Not sure if it was or not, but he has a new one now and it works fine.
You could always go through Sony and not BBy, they will exchange it as well since it is still under warrantee.

Exactly, always use protection.

mine has been on 24/7 for the past 3 weeks folding no problem with it

kpkelley · 04-23-2008, 03:23 PM

Have you tried to reset the system with the system restore function?

Mine wouldn't read discs after an update once, I restored it and it has worked perfectly fine since.

actionhank · 04-23-2008, 03:27 PM

Maybe something is wrong with your setup. Do you keep it well ventilated, 4 in away from walls and stuff?

I was going to ask the same thing. I kept mine in a cabinet with plenty of breathing room top to bottom ad left to right; however, there wasn't much air movement in the cabinet. Mine stopped reading discs but was fixed under warranty in less then 7 days.

Sounds like you should of bought a 360....

I had an 80g ps3 that stoped reading disc after one day of use. Everything in the xmb worked and when you put in a disc you can see the loading icon in the top right corner it just never found the disc.

When you purchase anything expensive, make sure you put a condom on it.
