Sony is famous for disc read errors, so no shocker that the launch units have problems. However, these DRE aren't the same as the PS2 version where you could fix it by realigning the laser. Unless you can find the same motor and install it yourself (which actually probably isn't that hard), you're stuck paying Sony.
I'm just hoping my 80GB unit that I got in November has an improved drive and I never have to worry about it.
