PS3 Down

sony playstation 3 PS3 Down

Damn!  My PS3 just stopped reading movies and games today.  I was watching the awesome show True Blood on my PS3 when it took me back to the “menu”.  I tried playing it again and the tv was just black.  It seemed like the PS3 was trying to read the disk but couldn’t do it.  I tried ejecting the movie but the blue light just kept flickering.  I turned off the system from the back and turned it back on.  I was able to eject the disk.  I put it Underworld: Evolution and it said “invalid disc”.  I put in my current favorite game, SF 4 and it also said “invalid disc”.  I updated the PS3 to the latest firmware and I put True Blood back in.  Same as before, it gave me an error message and the disk wouldn’t eject.

I look up the problem on Google and it seems like the laser is fried.  What sucks about this situation is that I’ve had the PS3 for more than a year so it’s not covered by the warranty anymore.  I bet having this thing fixed will cost me more than $150.  Of course, it breaks 2 months after the warranty ends.  I hate this shit.  I pay $400 for a machine and it breaks on me.  Where are the good old days when you bought a console and still have no problem using it today.

And I thought this was only an Xbox 360 problem, so much for the Sony fanboys that said that PS3 is better because it won’t break down.  My friend, who’s a hardcore Sony fan laughed at me last time when I told him about my 360 problems.  Then about 3 months ago, his PS3 broke down and he had to send it to Sony 3 times.  Right now his PS3 is still broken.

Fucking next gen consoles, you’d think they’d be better made.  Now I can’t finish watching True Blood.
