I have had my MGS4 80gb ps3 for almost 2 years now and i have had no problems. When i insert a disk the pas3 makes a small noise because it is reading the disc as answered on another forum. However i keep reading online that the ps3 blu ray drive and laser usually fail many people keep saying that sony charges 150 dollars for it to get repaired. I ahve a warranty with bestbuy but i like my 80gb since it has a memory card reader and some backwards compatibility. Anyways should i be worried?

I haven't heard anything that bad about PS3's disk drives.

I've got a launch 20 gig and it's still runnin.

If it breaks... I'll prolly try and fix it myself before i pay sony honestly.  Needs my BC.


I wouldn't stress about it though...

I don't think there is reason to worry... and even if there is... why bother?  It won't do you any good anyway.


I successfully repaired my Ps3's disc drive today. It is simple and easy. I accidentally ripped off the clip from the old laser though so I wasn't able to send it in for a rebate but whatever it was only for like 5 dollars anyway.
