It made a loud grinding noise last night and now it won't read any disks.
Since I got it at launch it's past warrenty so I'll have to pay for repairs. 
No there's no point to this thread. I'm just sad and need your sympathy (pathetic I know) 
Edit: Yes, I have tried calling Nintendo. $84.75 for repairs since it's beyond warrenty.
