My MGS4 80GB PS3 is still kicking. *knock on wood*

The Killzone 3 bundle is worth it so definitely a good choice for a new PS3.

Got the 40GB since august 2008 still soldiering on with it. It has never let me down i love it. Shame about the 60GB as that was the only one that could take PS2 games definately gonna miss it. Live on the 40GB!

So I saw this coming, although not as I imagined. A while back I was complaining about graphic card problems and expected that sooner or later my GPU was going to give out.

Seems my disc drive decided to give out first. It sucks in the disc but does nothing afterwards. It sounds like the drive doesn't want to spin, plus it doesn't even give me any DRE message.

I know my daughter is to blame too which is why I am not too mad. She has a habit of sticking discs in and then ejecting them. Just last week I went to play my PS3 only to find 4 discs shoved inside. I guess the PS3 said "Fuck this shit".

Was getting HyperDimension Neptunia from Gamefly so now I am sad.

Now I have to wait until the 22nd, that way my $300 gets me Killzone 3 along with the PS3 160GB. I would rather get a free game than no game at all.

I wasn't even going to get the game but now it seems that I am.

RIP PS3 60GB launch model.

2006-2011

I also felt this way when I first found out.

My buddy just had the exact same thing happen.... I let him borrow the god of war collection and he started playing it on his 40gb and it shut off and when he turned it back on all his data was gone except his pictures,,,, And it would read disc.... we would put a disc in but nothing happened, so i did a whole restore and still nothing, tried a simple dvd and nothing..... yea it doesnt even spin or anything..... It happens, ive been lucky so far but i know my times coming

So today the mail man dropped off a GameFly envelope... Hyper Dimension Neptunia.

I decided then that I would try to find out what went wrong and open the PS3, because now I can hear something in the BD drive when I tilt it back and forth.

I got side tracked and afterwards I decided to just say "Fuck it". I then thought "What if I rattle it around?" because it might be part of the BD drive that got loose.

After a few hard shakes the part seems to have gotten lodged somewhere because I couldn't hear it anymore when I tilted the console.

I plugged it back and decided "Whatever, let me just see if will read Hyper Dimension: Neptunia.

So yeah, I am now playing it.
