I feel u but if u want to keep your backwards compatibility, call Sony and see if they have replacement models of the same SKU. Actually, go through Sony. Yea, u will have to wait a while but $150 and change is a lot better than $299 plus change or whatever used model costs are. My original 60GB PS3 had the optical drive issue but Sony replaced it free of charge calling it goodwill since it was a month past my warranty expiration but then the YLOD got me 8mos later and I had to pay. They couldn't fix it but I got a BRAND SPANKING NEW 60GB SKU as a replacement. Check them out, first, and see what they say.
