PS3 BluRay Drive is broken.

[sirvice]

My 40gig PS3 BluRay drive (KEM-400AAA -> old one) is almost broken. It only plays games if i put a cleaning disc in before and let it run twice.

Unfortunately my warranty is 22 months over due, so no chance for getting a new/refurbished one 4 free.

 

ok what can i do?

A)

Buy a new one (preferably a phat one, cause i like the phat ones better)

-> do you know any good/ cheap offers/ bundles. its important to me that these bundles include non 18+ games (cant be reselled via ebay)

B)

Buy a bluRay drive and substitute it with the broken one

-> any good sites? amazon currently charges my around 80 euro and a additional 17 euro for shipping to Austria.

 

Anybody else had the same problem, what did you do?

 

EDIT: cleaning the lens with a qtip and a common window cleaner works wonder!!!!!! ps3 behavs like a brand new one!
