Okay I just came off the phone with a friend who said he was playing COD4 when his ps3 blacked out. He restarted the ps3 and in the top right corner it said ps3 disk error 800 & something w/e. He also said that the ps3 still connects online, but when you put in any other disk whether blu-ray movie, a ps3 game or an audio cd the icon shows in the top right corner but never reads the cd's. Anyone knows what the problem is here and how it can be fixed??

Thanks for any help in advance..

yeah that same problem actually happened to me but this is very small problem and very few people get it but agaion 2% of 10 million is still alot so while the number of people who claim they've had this problem doesn't much

OK, listen up i have just had the same problem, my ps3 wasnt playing the games,(800# error) you have to ring : 08705 99 88 77 (UK playstation helpline) tell them everything, they will tell you to re-format the ps3 which takes 3 hours, if the problem persists then you have to ring back and they will hopefully arrange for a courrier to come pick up your console and give you a brand new one. The problem for this case is most likely a Blu-Ray fault as it has been with mine. Hope i have been able to help : )

If it is not still under warranty, you could try to fix it yourself. Here is a link to a thread that tells you how to fix many problems that could happen with the PS3.

what country do you live in???? Happened to my 60GB PS3, stopped reading PS3 games. Ps2,dvd, bluray and cd's work fine but PS3 games nothing. I ended up buying a 80GB PS3 and eventually i will send in the 60GB. Drive failure is what is happening.
