In the future don't play Blu-Ray movies on your PS3. A standalone Blu-Ray player can be bought for cheap these days anyway. Save your Blu-Ray drive for PS3 games only. This is the same sort of problem people had with their PS2. Using their PS2s to watch DVD movies instead of just getting a cheap standalone DVD player, which resulted in lots of people wearing out the PS2 laser and having to pay sony to replace the drive. I stopped using my PS2 to play DVDs after I heard about these issues. I use it strictly for gaming because of that.

Well to get a Blu-ray player to match tha capabilities of the PS3 you would need to shell out about $300-$350.  And thats not cheap.   Plus I have over 200 blu-ray movies and 67 blu-ray games,  and my PS3 drive is working fine.   So this is not an issue for the PS3

Just because you haven't run into any problems doesn't mean that the issue doesn't exist. That's like me saying disk read errors are not a common issue with the PS2 just because mine hasn't had any yet. Lots of people have had problems with their PS3's blu-ray drive to the point that there is a petiton out requesting that Sony extend the blu-ray drive warranty to 3 years. http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?PS3BRDW3 1080p blu-ray players can be bought for like $150. Maybe even less these days.


Blu-ray players are as cheap as $100,  but that doesnt mean it is worth buying them especially since you have one of the best blu-ray players on the market.  Not to mention that they wont have half the features the PS3 has so it a really big downgrade.

Sony should fix it for FREE, After all there competor is doing it for free.

 

 

Microsoft repairs disc read errors?

Actually MS charges $100 for DVD drive fix. Only RROD and "E74" are covered so Garnett is pretty much trollin'.

I find that laughable, the irony in your statement is fantastic! Anyway, The DVD drive fix is covered with a one year warrantee, RROD and E74 are both covered by three. Check your facts next time you decide to call somebody a troll.

he is, because sony also cover that in their 1 year warranty.

for free and they sometimes cover it if your are not that far away from warranty.

again only 1 of 100 will experience such problem and it's normal for that kind of devices, DVD players, dvd rw, and my wii  experience that at least once, lucky on warranty time.

I never said he wasn't, I did however say that it was ironic that Steroid was accusing him of trolling because of steroid's statement. And the reason Steroid was calling Garnett a troll was faulty, I was merely pointing that out as well. I guess you missed it too...somehow, I am not suprised.

no, you missed it. i am merely pointing out the whole deal, u just happen to be the nearest post.

almost everything it's covered in the first year warranty. disc error /death console / HDD by both sony and microsoft

but the extended warranty for the 360, only it's for rrod and E74 (not before ).

steriod was referring to the 3 year warranty he is right. microsoft charges 100$ out of warranty 1 year warranty for disc drive.

Neither Steroid nor Garnett were very clear on what warrantee they were talking about. Steroid did not say that he was talking about the extended warrantee and seemed to act as though the only warantee available for the 360 was the RROD/E74 warrantee. Thus, my initial assesment was spot on. Garnet may have been talking about the extended warrantee, but since it doesn't cover anything other than the RROD/E74, and he is a pretty large 360 fan ( and then some) it is hard to gage what he meant in that post.

both are clear, and already said why, all manufacturer 1 year warranty fix disc error for free, almost any fabric problem.

steroid was right, because he also pointed about RROD / E74 which is covered in 3 year warranty.

out of the normal warranty, microsoft only covers rrod and E74.

they don't fix disc error for free after a year.

No, neither are clear, Garnett said something that was a factual error and it was unclear whether he was pointing to a three year warranty or a one year warrantybecause he of all people would know that the drive repair is only free inside the one year warranty. Since Steroid was replying to Garnetts unclear post, and did not clarify the position he was coming from, it is natural to assume that he was talking about the 1 year warranty since this is the only scenerio where Garnett's statement is true.

all that duplicate quoting there is gettiing a little bit big don't you think!!^^

microsoft have to fix 360's otherwise they would be forced to discontinue the xbox 360 line as it is that liable to breakdown, it's so funny watching fanboys downplaying the failures of the xbox 360.
