Hi, guys! About 4 months ago I was watching a blu-ray movie on my PS3 when it froze up my system, it needed a hard shutdown (holding the power button in for about 20 seconds) at that time my PS3 slim had never frozen up while watching a Blu-ray so I thought nothing of it. Then around a month ago it happend again, twice during the same movie. Since, I've watched 4 Blu-rays, two have froze up, the most recent being about 2hrs ago. This is starting to worry me. I've been researching the problem, and most theories lead to the Blu-ray laser being the problem, yet I don't think it is as this only happens during Blu-ray movies, not games, which I have no problem with.

The problem seems to be inconsistent, for example, I've been watching the first season of Rome, and I haven't had a single freeze. Yet I watched Demolition Man tonight and it froze up, I watched Dreed 3D last week and it played perfectly fine, last weekend I watched Just Go With it and again it froze my whole system up.

Have any of you had this kind of problem before? Any suggestions as to what might solve this problem?
