My 60gb ps3 died the exact same way lol. I recommend you send it to sony. mine was out of warranty too and it seems they couldn't fix it so they sent me a brand new 60gb, yes 60gb for the $150 repair charge. That's a lot better than getting a new 80gb.
The whole process took over 3 weeks but you could put your 360 to good use in the meantime. I, on the other hand, was miserable for 3 weeks lol.
