it started in CoD4 while i was playing the sound would suddenly stop, all i could hear were the voices of the people through my headset but when i shot i couldn't hear anything i checked to see if the tv was muted but it wasn't and when the match ended it just froze and when i tried to quit the game useing the ps button it just said "please wait" for a long time until i just turned it off and turned it back on i entered a CoD match again and samething sound would cut halfway through the match i turned it off and turned it back on it didn't read the disc. i called sony, the rep told me toto restore the default settings, it still didn't work i also formatted it after i hung up still nothing but she asked me when i purchased it, i told her 11/17/06 i also told her that this wasn't my original ps3 and that i had sent my original in for replacement for a completely different reason (my idiot brother dropped, he's still in the hospital ;) but it didn't look like it was dropped it it was still messed up so i got it replaced.) miraculously she says that "it appears you ps3 is still under warranty blah blah blah" she gave me a repair status number and said that they'll ship my box to my address. thank god!! has this happened to any of you?

This isn't the first thread I've seen today that mentioned PS3 not being able to read disks after inserting COD4. Something may be going on here.

disc reading errors is the biggest (and perhaps sole) problem with the PS3. Although, it isn't too common.

I'm kind of scared with my ps3 now, if that happens to mine I would freak out... mainly because Sony doesn't offer a warranty in my country, I hope it's not happening to a lot of ps3's.

The same exact thing happened to me only with uncharted one minute you here the guys I kill the next they dont make a peep when they die and the whole thing about quiting the game and the screen saying please wait for the longest time and then turning off the system happened to me as well. Man I have the 60 gig to I hope sony wont replace it with a non backwards compatible PS3 as I might have to send it back.

Anyone else noticed this problem occured when you have owned your PS3 for about a year after your purchase?
