Thats exactly what I am hearing and it seems to only be with the 80 GB model.

I don't think the model has anything to do with this, I have the 60gb version and they got me too :(

And mine is 40GB

I ve been playing my Ps3 for about two week and now It doesnt play any games or DVDs. Everything else works fine but when I put in a game or DVD nothing happens.:cry:

Has anyone else had this problem and knows what is wrong and how to fix it?
