Did something stupid with my PS3... a warning

I got a used DVD yesterday and I noticed there was a sticker on the disc, so I went ahead and took it off (because I'm OCD like that) and it left a little bit of the sticker glue on it. Not thinking about it I watched it on my PS3 and then I couldnt get it to come out, it sounded like it was trying to come out but was stuck. After pressing the eject button a bunch of times it came out, but it scared the crap outta me. I watched a different movie later that day and then it took two tries to get out.  It works fine now, but I just wanted to warn every1 in case this may have permanent damage.  Then again you guys may have more common sense than me....

Its an honest mistake I know you're more used to placing DVDs and CDs on a tray, so the experience of a sticky top didn't occur til know. It's a great warning, i never thought about that.

I actually thought of this before attempting to try my Oddworld Abe's Exoddus game from PS1 in my PS3. I bought the game used and took the sticker off of it. The top was really sticky, but it didn't affect my PS1 or PS2. The solution is to get some kind of a liquid cleaner that is potent enough to get rid of the sticky, but wont hurt the actual game. A product I use is "Glu-gone". It's works really well.Telekill

yeah this is the solution i use when i get used or previously rented games. but i beleive its called Goo Gone. great stuff. its a miracle. as for the riginal poster i feel bad, but yeah thats kinda what you get ; )

I've never heard of that stuff.... I've always used lighter fluid (it works really well), but I didn't have any around and didn't really think it would matter.  O well, live and learn.
