I've had my PS3 slim for about 2 or 3 weeks now. The past couple of days, I've turned it on, the XMB starts to load and nothing would happen. I'd get the swirly arrows under the Playstation Network, and they'd just keep loading, never going anywhere. Then if I scrolled over to settings and tried to click on anything, it would freeze, then the screen would go black. Also, if I tried turning the system off from the controller while this was happening, the screen would go black and and beep a couple times, but wouldn't turn off.

I'm probably going to have to send it in, but can't find my freaking receipt.

Has anyone else run into this problem? I haven't found any problems like this.

Should I buy MGS4 if I haven't played MGS1-3 in a long time and remember very little about them? Also, I don't have them anymore to replay...
