hmm... i'm concerned about this, my Blu-ray drive has failed, as has my brothers. and both at the same time - after the firmware update. We both have Phat PS3s and we're both looking for fixes now.

Both have the same problem - they play CDs and DVDs, but not Blu-ray movies and games disks.

Seems like its a pretty well known problem on the PS3 tech forums since the recent firmware updates.

What annoys me is if Sony have released a firmware update that is causing this problem with older Phat PS3s, why am i having to fork out so much money to get it repaired/replaced when it was working perfectly fine before the update?

On the same boat with you mate. I'm pretty pissed off about the situation. I hope Sony does do something about this, cause I'm going to just not play it at all cause of residence, not taking it with me anyways.

 

I just saw an online forum where this one dude is making a huge petition and it is growing ever so quickly. I realllllllly doubt this is a coincidence the pattern has developed after recent firmware updates and technology is very fragile, especially high tech at the tiniest levels.
