That's not a joke or any trolling. My friend was playing Hot shots golf, like he usually do. When, after 2 18Holes, he wanted to go online to get the new players (those you buy 0.99$ each) and... the PS3 returns to the XMB and eject the disc. He see it, he push it back into the console... "Unable to read" He take the disc, look at it, it seems ok... He starts to think his PS3 just broke, tries another game, it works! So, if the game plays, let's try back hot shots golf! "Unable to read". Damn... He looks another time at the disk... THERE!, the disc is cracked IN THE CENTER... it's just long enough to get to the "data".

So I ask you, have you ever heard of something like this before? I don't see any reason for a disk to crack in the center else than the heat. Since his PS3 is in an only front open area. like this |__| and the ps3 look like [] in it, which doesn't leave mush space for the heat to get out. And he has a 7.1 surround right on the shelf under it. And that thing it incredibly HOT. Is you'Ve ever heard of this, please comment... I told im to get is Ps3 outta there, because I don'T see any other reason why the disk could have broke in the center, but maybe you have other explanation...

or maybe the disk was cracked already, and being played just made the crack worse until it reached the data part of the disk..

dunno though, it seems unlikely. On my old 360 I may have believed it (it sounded like it was ripping its insides apart) but on the oh so silent ps3, i just can't see it happening.

Did he actually push it back into the console?

Usually I have to take it out, then put it back and the PS3 sucks it in.

He tried several times, nothing will bring his disc back to life. He always take care of his games and consoles, I would explain why there would be a crack in the disc, BEFORe, exept by entering it in his case and getting it out... But... a disc is still hard to crack...

Its not the console. The game must have had a crack. If it was the console, all of his other games would have similar cracks.

He most likely broke it taking it out of the case and spinning in the console might have leangthened the crack enough to not work.

Tell him to get a replacement from where he bought it, or the publisher.

First time we've heard of it, so obviously your friend is to blame :P

Pushed it too hard, whatever, theres nothin in the PS3 that could have caused this.

im gonna have to go with the it was already cracked theory. in order for a disc to crack it would have to move around quite a bit inside the ps3 and it doesnt do that. i disc isnt gonna crack just from spinning. if it was already cracked however i could see the crack getting bigger by spinning at high speeds.

Was the console sitting verticle by chance?

I heard that can possibly hurt the disc if the system or whatever it is sitting on is bumped it can thrown the disc off and scratch/damage the center... just what someone told me so I keep mine flat all the time.

It wasn't cracked while inside the PS3. It was cracked when outside of it. If you believe otherwise then you need to be medicated.
