Iv got this stupid problem too.
Only thing is im out of my warranty.
Considering its all sony's fault i find it ridiculous that it will cost me £189.99 to get it sorted. plus it will probably be a refurbished replacement not a brand new one.
do you think there is anything i could say to them seeing as my ps3 is in like mint condition (all apart from that disc error thing) to get them to fix it?
