I just bought my ps3 and i updated it to 2.1, after about 1 hour of playing uncharted it froze. I turned it off and back on and my ps3 stopped reading the disc. I tried putting other games and the disc icon wont appear. Does anyone else get this kind of problem and what do you do to solve it? And I have the 40gb ps3.

Sounds to me like you need to call Sony. Sorry that this happened to you.

Same thing happened to me. You need to get it exchanged either at the store or if your warranty there is up usualy after 30 days (mine broke after 34) call Sony and ship it back. I also ahd the 40GB

Yeah mine was an 80gb. I talked to the rep and they said they have had a few problems but as long as it was still under warranty they would replace it no prob. It took a few days for them to ship the box but it only took like a week for me to get another one.

i was even more unfortunant, my warrenty expired soon after my PS3 Lens wouldn't read. I had to pay a 190 with tax to get it fixed. Worst yet, they sorta scratch it a bit while fixing my ps3.
