or take matters into ur own hand buy a ps3 blueray drive or a lens drive open it up and install it urself will save cash but at a risk

thats the best route in my opinion, im from toronto too. if youre going to do that make sure you follow tutorials step by step theres hundreds just google or utube it. sony is gonna charge you 190.97 exactly and the blu ray laser lens costs 70-90. same thing happened to me but im going to repair it myself once i get the money for the laser lens.

Exactly.. thats the exact amount they'r gona charge me. i dont want to fix it on my own.. might even make it worse :(

yea if you are unsure of what youre doing dont try it, but in my situation this isnt a good time right now financially so i really have no choice but to do it myself.. sucks but i took the time to read and learn how to do it properly so hopefully it goes alright.

choose a map make sure you see "***" at the end of it, like for example " Installation***"or whatever the maps called, the 3 asterisk means 3rd expansion

The two biggest problems I've experienced and come across are obviously the Yellow Light, and the faulty blu ray lasers. The blu ray thing is when your ps3 suddenly stops reading discs, thats the one that happened to me. Sucks because its completely unavoidable the day before it happened was when I bought Killzone2 in the morning, played about 4 hours through out the day and the following morning it died. Very random and it was in the 13th month of warranty so yea sony charged 190.97 which i refuse to pay, I'll just repair it myself eventually. Unfortunately there are no stats on failure rates because sony never released that information. I'm not trying to be a bearer of bad news but better to be warned isnt it? IF it does happen to you, hopefully it doesnt but it happened to me and alot of other people its very possible it could happen to you too.

Customer service has always been a pain in the @$$. The only problem is no one ever gets used to this.

that would be wrong to have to get used to this bs, ive ben using playstation products since 99 and they all still operate like new except for the ps3 which costs the most money and laser just happens to die out on the 13th month ... bs i wish north america had the monthly warranty, they would make more money and it wouldn't be such a @#$%^ its a win win situation.

About the common problem thing it makes sense that it wouldn't work in comparison to the millions of working playstations. I just wish some big gamer site or news company could confront big corporations about these things to atleast get a change of warranty. I think any problem in the hundreds is bad enough, especially looking at the amount of money we all pour into gaming.

Yeah... Its bull. What console SKU is yours curiously? Did you send it in at all? Or can you not afford the $191 or the $80? The other thing I find stupid... Europe has the best warranty out of all the continents since they dont got to pay for the same amount (I think its free, or the shipping is free...)RoganSarine
I got the 40 GB console, unfrortunately I haven't ben able to send it in or buy the laser. ironically Killzone 2 was my last purchase on the 26th but the dead laser thing isnt specific to any console unfrortunately if thats what youre asking. I wish we all had the same warranty. customer service told me repair is the same cost ( $190 ) no matter the issue when I brought up the laser price. It made me feel like theyre profiting off selling me faulty hardware. I feel very ripped off as a customer to be honest, in my situation id either save up for the laser and buy an extended warranty or wait until e3 and HOPE for a price drop because atleast id have another year warranty.

... sony asks for $190.97 when the blu ray laser itself costs 80 that i shouldn't even be paying for! the real piss off about the whole thing is that i had a serious sports injury that hasn't allowed me to work or do much at all in months but playstation. So now I don't even have the funds to buy the piece and repair it myself. This along with the yellow light should be covered! also please don't go defending them saying " 1% failure rate" or whatever bs statement because sony has not released customer service stats and please no crap on comparing to 360 because atleast microsoft acknowledges them and covers them in warranty.. I truly would get a 360 but im not interested in their games... only if they had psn, warhawk , mgs4 and Killzone 2 but anyways thats my rant feel free to go on a rant yourself. I feel your pain lol

Im about to go on a bit of a rant, this seems like the appropriate place so please share your hardware and customer service piss-offs lol So anyways I save up money and get a part time retail job to buy a ps3... I was nervous about the warranty because a year on something so expensive is sketchy to me but since i never had a playstation problem before I just gave in and bought it. Exactly 13 months later, the day after I bought Killzone 2 (day after release day 1st thing in the morning) it refused to read any discs! I was shocked because I never even physically touched the system to brake it! also i only played an estimated 4 hours of Killzone throughout the day. So i call sony, im interrupted as i explain the symptoms and im told to send it in. I google the issue and find literately hundreds of complaints, tutorials and repairs for this EXACT issue. By the way customer service responded and amount of complaints found that would leave me to believe this is a common issue and should be taken care of but NO...
