Hello, my PS3 is currently not working, it works perfectly fine until I insert a disk into it, my PS3 won't even read it, the icon for when a movie/game is in won't even show up, it was working fine a few days ago.....do I need a new PS3?

i wouldnt go buy a new ps3 but your blu-ray might be burnt out, you could either replace it yourself if you tech savy enough but i would just call their customer service and pay the 150$ for them to send you a box, you put your ps3 in it and it'll take a few weeks to get back but you'll save a lotta cash

Well.....actually, by the time this happened, my PS3 was already close to being destroyed, it was dirty, some of the parts fell off or began to, and even my sixaxis was nearly broke ( the part that held the R1 R2 buttons was broken off, it still worked, which I found a miracle ).

Maybe I should try again, get a new PS3, and next time I won't treat it so badly.....btw don't ask how it got to that point.

yea, i can see why you might wanna buy a new one but im pretty sure that if you send it to them they'll fix everything and clean it out then you can but a dualshock 3 but if you wanna save the couple weeks of it being fixe and you got the cash id buy a new one (preferably the 160GB uncharted one)

its your opinion and respect it, but for me the 160gb its a waste of money, since you can buy a 80gb, rent or find a good deal with uncharted considering its a very old game, and you can also find bigger HDD around $100. just my opinion

Well....here are the reasons

* Traveling a few miles every weekend than coming back on Monday while putting my PS3 in a bag inside the trunk which is has little space left and a bumpy ride

* a long airplane ride to Los Angeles ( when I live close to the border to Mexico ) when my PS3 is in a bag with even less space than having to come back.

* Bringing it to a friends house who has a sister that has VERY bad temper tantrums.....and his house is messy

* and just very bad clumsiness.....I broke my PS3 controller because I accidental let it fell from a high place to a hard ground.

Yea.......I should have expected this.

Dang! The PS3 can take a lot more than I expected.....but they never tested to see if it would read the disk >_>

So maybe my ps3 isn't doom
