[QUOTE="killman360, post: 68500, member: 267"] A few days ago, I was playing my Playstation 3. For some weird reason, during gameplay, my vehicle(I was playing Burnout at the time)suddenly stopped and would not move. At first I thought that I lost my internet connection for a second as I was playing online but that was not the problem. I then proceeded to quite out of the game. While it was saying please wait, the system would not do anything. I had no choice but to shut it off with the hard switch on the back of the console. After that, I turned the system back on. I noticed that the game icon was not showing up on the XMB menu so I ejected the disk and reinserted it. Nothing happens. This was the case with all of my games. I read on another forum that it was because of the drive within the PS3. It has died. I have called Sony and my warranty is out. I now must pay 150$ for a new warranty, which is only 90 days, to get the system repaired. This is a very annoying event and especially with me having to pay 150$. Ring any bells? Time for a new name. The Blu-Ray Drive of Death. Has anyone else experienced this problem? [/QUOTE]
