So my Playstation 3 won't read any discs...

[Arcadian Empire]

What do I do?!

[Siaon]

Blow it up/

[Immerael]

You have a very fancy very expensive blue ray capable door stop :awesome:

[Izubibbywutz]

The PS3 is no where comparable to the Crapbox. For a good 1 year lead on PS3, it has no where the advantages a PS3 offers.

[SiCkO]

What do I do?!

send your games to me :P

[Arcadian Empire]

Uhh, seriously people?

[SiCkO]

umm

how old is your warrenty?

[SiCkO]

you might be able to send it in ;)

[NemaK]

Happened to me before, it's one of two things:

1. Laser is broken

2. Inside needs to be cleaned.

I had to get the laser replaced, and that's not always 100% guaranteed to work. Didn't work for me, but luckily Sony was nice enough to send me a new one for free, and not charge for the laser.

I have heard that the bluray drive is one of the more common hardware problems that the PS3 has (you see plenty of them for sale on eBay). It may be as simple as cleaning or more serious failure. Getting the unit repaired/fixed by Sony depends highly on your warranty status and/or how much money you want to invest to fix it if out of warranty.

I'd say contact Sony and see if they have any easy troubleshooting advice directly and/or repair service available.

Please ensure that all procedures have been followed correctly before contacting us by phone. You may be able to resolve your issue with the least amount of effort using our online Help & Support section as well as your instruction manual. If you do not have an instruction manual, click here.

[killer04]

call sony if its going to be an expensive fix just buy a new so u get the warranty

[HokageOwnage]

better yet! buy a new one and then return ur broken one tell it was manufacturing problems XD

[killer04]

i like that idea

[tom the pit leader]

What do I do?!

get a real gaming platform?

[Arcadian Empire]

tom, just because Microsoft has brainwashed you doesn't mean you have to do the same to us :P

Okay, so I'll uhh... call Sony and see how much it costs, it's already happened before and my warranty is long gone. It's been 2 years and a bit already... November 30, 2007 was when I got it. A day which will live in infamy, because I was sick that day and when it was brought home I left it there for two weeks before setting it up :P

Thanks for the helpful people! Not you tom...

[HokageOwnage]

hahaha thats wat i did with my crapcube when it first came out, I bought one 1yr later laser shits out on me, bought new cube and returned my faulty one XD

[Arcadian Empire]

I'll see if I can get a free one back...

[GeneralWight]

Tell them quote "You'll suck their dicks to get a fixed playstation."

[Arcadian Empire]

Sorry GW, you may be prepared to go to that length (haha, get it? :P) to get one, but that's not my kind of party.

[michaeru]

But that's strange. Everyone knows that PS3 has no gaems.

[Arcadian Empire]

Anyways, called them, since it is an "out of warranty" unit, despite it being fixed before - I have to fork out $250 for a fix. <_<

[SiCkO]

uncharted 2 and MAG

[bigdaddychacha]

Prolly cuz u modded it, and Microsoft sucks. You should buy a Playsta--Oh snap!

[Nedved I]

Thats enough to buy an X-Box pro

[bigdaddychacha]

btw I wasn't trying to kick u while u were down, I've had some issues with Microsoft and stuff, but...it's just sooo easy when the shoe's on the other foot!

Good luck getting it fixed or replaced! :/

[Arcadian Empire]

X-Box Pro? Nah, that's gay. I trust Microsoft for computers, not gaming.

It's okay bigdaddychacha (I forgot how I shortened it :P), I have to pander for some money from somewhere. I think I'll delve into prostitution.

By that, I mean, get other people to do it - with me taking 100% of their income.

Really? $250 Australia or $250 US...that's still a lot of money to fix an out of warranty unit <_<

Only $149.99 when I requested a repair, ouch. Maybe you could try your luck with a local game store that does repairs?

[Arcadian Empire]

They are still living in 2005 exchange rates, Imperial :P

I'll try my luck at EB Games or JB Hifi or Game or whatnot... I might even open the thing up myself! Who knows.

Nooooo!!! You'll void the warranty.

O... wait...

[Izubibbywutz]

This is still better then the crapbox...If its broken down after 2 years. Better then the failure rates Xbox has over a 2 year time span.

[NemaK]

I remember reading that like 90% of XBox's break down, vs. around 20% of PS3's.

[Izubibbywutz]

They do...

[Lmcfalcon12]

What do you do? Get an X-Box 360 like you should have done in the first place. XD

I won't knock PS3 entirely because it does have a built in Blu-Ray player.

[Arcadian Empire]

I swear if I paid $250 for a slip of paper that said "Oh, there was just some dust on the laser"... DSUOBGWOIHT4WIEGH WEJ TQ4WU TGWG IEWHSGIO HSeg

Thankfully, I'm trying to blow air into the CD drive to blow said air away. Unsuccessfully so far.
