Hey all

I have had my ps3 for less than a year now, no complaints love the little bugger. Last night after buying socom and installing the data it stopped working.... Well it worked after the install but stopped reading any kind of disc after that. Now it is a class lemon.. What should i do... i have a bunch of psn network games on there... and dnt want to lose my stuff. The only thing i can think that might have cause the problem was socom itself. It read corrupt data and had to delete it.... Any ideas lads?

My best guess is to ring up Sony, check their site or any manuals for a number. If you do have to send it off to Sony, you will be able to to back up any of your data and saves.

When you buy something from the PSN you get five downloads of it (thanks DRM...). So you will have to waste another 1 for each of the downloads you own, but you will be able to.

This is the red ring of death equivalent for PS3 folks. Two of my friends who have PS3s had this happen to them and I fear it as well which is why I encourage everybody to get 3rd party warranties. Sony's is only for a year and dust voids it... :O That's ridiculous. Anyway I recommended Future Shop where I got mine, you can get 3 years and it covers basically everything.
