Yes so my friend's ps3 has been actin' up lately. Fisrt off, when he selects a game and start it, the tv will loose a signal and then get a signal back but the PS3 will go back to the xmb menu along with an error message.

So that's not the only problem, but now the PS3 won't even read any blu ray disc, being a game or movie.

So now I can't even get the message number.

Anyone know what's goin' on or how this can be fixed?

This is my friend's second PS3 he had to go through, it'll be a **** to return in too, he has the warranty but are they really gonna give him back a 60 gig? Plus he's gonna have to pay for another warranty.

Sounds like he got a Refurbished one! My first PS3 was a 60GB Refurbished and boy was that a pile of ****! I have the new 40GB which works like a charm no problems or anything! Just from experience I think the 60GB's are junk! Tell him either to get a 40GB or the 80GB! I've heard alot of problems with the 60GB's for some reason! Maybe thats why they stopped making them!
