PS3 blu-ray help?

[Disturbed Blu 1]

*I'm not sure if this the right place to post this but if not feel free to move it please.*


Okay. So I need some help. Today I was watching Bolt. I got to the part when they meet Rhino for the first time and it just froze. However, it didn't freeze. I wasn't able to press any button on my BD remote or controller. The only thing I could press was the Playstation button in the middle. I took the disc out and checked it and it looked brand new (btw, I watch Bolt a lot because it's my favorite recent movie) I put it back in and the previews came up okay. It even got to the main menu of the movie okay. Once I pressed play or even picked a scene, it would just go to a blank screen and just stay there. At first I thought it was the movie. But then just now I started watching Revolutionary Road. Which may I add is a brand new sealed movie. It got about 15-20 minutes in and it froze. Just like before.

I have a feeling something it wrong with my DVD drive unfortunately. I would like to get some ideas from you guys. I don't want to call up Sony to get it fixed (because I'm cheap. ) If it helps at all its a 80 GB, 4-usb. (The ones that play PS1 and PS2 games.)

Any info or help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like your drive is going to go. Sorry man.

I'd say clean the drive. I've had stuff like this happen before. i just used a can of air and sprayed it out.

I was afraid of that. Any clues on pricing to fix it.

If Sony fixes it, it's around $150. If it's your first call and you're out of our warranty, sometimes Sony will does a 'courtesy replacement'. Just depends on who you get and how friendly they are.

You need to clean the drive. Same thing happened to my 1st 80GB 4 usb PS3.


PS. Disturbed is the best band ever

How long is the warranty for the PS3's?
