I need help from 80gb PS3 owners!

I'm not too sure if i should send my console to Sony, here is my problem: I'm not sure if my disc drive is working right, i can insert games and movies into it and they work just fine but i'd notice that i need to insert the games and movies in certain position, to be clear if i insert a disc too close to the left side it won't enter into the console but if i insert them from the center close to the right side the drive grabs the disc and it enters into it.

I wouldn't like to send it to Sony because they can end sending me another system and i will lost many copy protected save files and if this happens i won't play those games anymore.

Is this normal as long as i can insert and play games? My PS3 is one of the first 80gb models without BC.

I say as long as the disc goes in, where's the problem? Just keep it in the center. I wouldn't suggest sending it in unless you're absolutely out of luck. They could send you a crappy refurb or something. As far as your saves go, though, the PS3 has a great backup feature that will backup your entire HDD in its current state. I recommend backing it up every so often just in case something ever happens. I'd hate to lose my saves........Nephilim83

my ps3 back pushed in a bit from putting in my power cord.

they will format your hdd, and they tell you to backup your game saves. My disk drive died on me and they just replaced the drive and I got my same system back. You will be SOL on some game saves. I had the same issue to but at the end of the day its better to lose saves and have a working ps3, then to save game saves and have a ps3 that will break sooner or later.gagit811
