I bought my ps3 at launch and just last week while playing MGS4, it completely stopped reading bluray discs! I want to know are there any other people that has had their ps3 unable to read discs?

Im not a troll, im a cow who loves he ps3 and is extrememly unhappy that my ps3 broke and has no choice but to pay 150 bucks to fix it even though i have found this happening to many many others!

this problem is not our fault. It has happened to people with launch ps3 and even brand new ps3s! sony should fix this problem for free! Or extend our warrantees. Its not fair!

(EDIT) look at the results...just want to piont out the the industry average besides the 360 is between 3-5% and ours is at 9% right now (i know its only 150 votes but still..)

That happened to my last PS3, and it sucked bad. :evil: The system wouldn't even turn on. But now I have a used one directly from Sony, and fortunately I haven't had any problems since. :)

I didn't know the PS3 even had a yellow light.... until I saw it in person. :cry:

if the 2.4 patch caused it, Sony should repair it for free because it was their fault, they even pulled the patch cuz of this

I've had mine since about April, and had no issues, barring a few lock ups on the system which were resolved by a reboot.
