Well, earlier in the week I posted how Call of Duty 4 seemed to be the cause of breaking my disc reader. Well today my friend brought his PS3 over to my house and we go to play some online when his PS3 freezes just like mine did. So Call of Duty was in when my other friends PS3 broke 2 monthes ago, it was in when mine broke last week, and was in when my friend who brough his over broke...I'm seeing a trend in Call of Duty 4 breaking PS3s and making them unable to read discs...Am i just really unlucky or is this a trend?

Call of Duty was probably just the game that was in your PS3 most often. I know that's how it is in my house. Thus, the odds of the PS3 breaking with CoD4 in it are FAR greater than the odds of it breaking with CoD4 NOT in the system.

CoD4 does not break the disc drive on the PS3.

Yea, thats logical. I dont know, its just really weird that it has happened to three times at the exact same screen...Oh well, I just hope my new PS3 doesnt break again, i'd be pissed.
I probably log a minimum of twenty hours a week in COD4, and have consistently since Christmas. And I haven't even had it freeze during multiplayer. Locked up once or twice during the campaign, though.
Now hypothetically could a game "react" so poorly to the PS3 loosing online connectivity that it locked the PS3? For example it continously loads stuff etc and if it looses the connection to online (which the PS3 does a lot more frequent than my computer) it messes up the HD in a way that other games doesn't?
Not saying COD4 does this just wondering outloud if it could be possible...
and yea..i was being sarcastic with "stop playing cod4 or else'' :DfatboyDanny
It's a little late for that, I think.
What I don't understand is if this ridiculous COD4 rumor has influenced so many, why can't I get my rumor about Home bricking PSPs during remote play off the ground? It's no less plausible.

its because EVERY ps3 ive heard about stopped reading discs because of cod4, but i think it have more to do with that cod4 is by far the most played game by those people that own it :p
Seriously, though. If anybody asks, the public Home beta started last Thursday. And once you've loaded the firmware that comes with Home, you can't use remote play until they release a patch, or it'll brick your PSP.
And if they ask how/where you get the Home firmware update, change the subject.

Private home beta. If it was public, Commander would not have posted. He would be playing Home.

you haven't been here long enough to make that judgement, there were alot of people complaining about many launch titles claiming that they "broke there PStriple"

o.o if I rename them again it will eventually disappear? That's weird.
Yeah dude I really don't know whats going on with that. I have played CoD4 many times and my friends all have it too and they have never experienced any problems. But if you can live without it and you're superstitious I guess stop playing.
I stopped playing that game long ago. It's just boring now..
But, it doesn't sound like it's because of COD4. It's just a regular case of bad luck... Or, someone is not taking good enough care of their systems (sounds more like THAT to me)
guys the same thing just happened to me. i was playing cod4 and a game was really quiet. only guns were fired. no voices, no uav, etc..and as soon as the game ended it froze, so i quit the game and next thing i know cod4 is not even on my ps3 menu. and i put in spiderman 3 and it read it, i tried again and then spiderman wasnt able to be read! wtf, this is really gay
lol its your city and aliens are sending radiowaves that affect cod4 discs causing them to spin at a higher rate causing tonnes of friction leading to frying th diod
