so it seems my ps3 is deciding not to work correctly.

it started freezing on wednesday after about 45 minutes of watching a movie or playing a game. i had trouble even getting back to the main menu of the system and/or ejecting the disc.

tried blowing it out with compressed (canned) air. made sure the cables were seated properly and not binding up. made sure all updates were downloaded and installed.

and it's done it on every movie and game i've tried, so i know it wasn't just the disc. and it does it at about the same amount of time every time.

i knew i'd bought an extended warranty on it, but i initially couldn't find my original receipt.

by sheer luck i found it late last night (i was looking for something else and found it in a pack of photo paper, of all places).

so i got it registered on their site and they are sending me a shipping label to send it to them so it can be repaired.

i've used my ps3 every single day since the day i bought it.

i've probably over-used it since i use it for both games AND movies. i've heard and read that it's bad for a ps3 to do that a lot, even though it's built for that.

so i'm sending it in to be repaired and don't know what the hell i'm gonna do without being able to watch blu-ray or play a ps3 game. i'll probably go crazy(er).

sorry, just had to vent for a minute.
