Hello readers,

I decided to make a quick post of something I believe is happening to my one console, and that console would be surprisingly the youngest of the three current systems I own: the Playstation 3. I have the 60GB edition of the PS3, which I love to death, like I do all my consoles, so it saddens me to even think that it's disc drive might be beginning to die already.

My reason for believing so comes from trying to play a few music CDs on the PS3, and some of the tracks weren't working, with error messages popping that the tracks were unreadable and the PS3 made a bunch of clicking noises when it tried to read them. I first thought hat CDs were ruined since they are old CDs and my bro still uses these CDs so they have some wear and tear to them. However, I popped them out and to my surprise, the bottoms are clean with few scratches.So I popped in back and tried to import the CD, and it failed after two songs.The PS3 actually stopped playing tracks that did work before as well on this try.

Disgruntled that the CDs are probably corrupt, I popped them into my Xbox 360 to see if I could listen to them and import them(Remember, my PC is still out of service at this time). The 360 not only plays all the tracks fully, but also copies all the songs without error. The 360 also never does a clicking noise while trying to copy or play them.

So, now that leads to my fear that my PS3's disc drive is beginning to fail with music CDs now questionable if they work. I hope it doesn't evolve beyond this...

Worried about his PS3,
