Yesterday it stopped recognizing discs, when you insert a disc it doesn't show it on the PS3 Menu, But in the top right corner the disc keeps moving.. This happened right after I updated to 3.0 I even tried fully formatting the PS3 and it didn't work. I tried Diffrent CDS too. My discs look perfect too so I couldn't imagine why it's doing this.. Please help. My PS3 is a 80 GB and I had it for more then a year and a half now. Am I forced to send it in? I just rented a game yesterday just to play it. I don't want my money to go to waste.

That's true the PS3 has a one year warranty unless you purchased an extended warranty when you bought the system.

Really? A conspiracy? Anyways, to the TC, I'm not saying there isn't anything wrong with your PS3 but it could be coincidence. Before sending your PS3 in, get a laser head cleaner. It's a disc you put in and it scrubs your laser head to remove any dust, junk, whatever... If that doesn't work, then send your PS3 in. Trust me, this is not a VIRUS. I'm trying to hold back the tears of laughter on that "theory".
