I talked to the Sony guys and one of them said they could not dedulge how many people called with the same problem. Ugh more money lol Thanks WhatHappend.

P.S. I am not going to send it away to SONY those %$#^%@ know there are problems why do they not fix them for free like Microsoft and their 360 problems? I had my ps2 for like 6 or 7 years before it crapped out I spent $500 on the PS3 plus another $152 to Videogame911 when apprently the Bluray crapped out after only a year and a few months. Now I have to send it away again for another $152 this is crazy what happened to products you could count on heck my Atari 2600 still works and I got that when I was a kid....Sorry everyone I am just upset at all this wasted money......

If you are, make sure any motion engine in the curio is off. If you aren't try setting the option in the PS3 for 1080p24 and see if that's better.

Almost everyone I talk to that uses their PS3 has had 1 trouble or another. I know I'm one of them, I got mine a couple months after launch, but have had trouble with the blu ray player.

At first, I couldn't get it to eject, so I did the force eject (hold down eject for 20 sec or so) and it did come out, but since then, I can't get it to load a disk. If I stick a disc in the slot and hold down the eject button, it will take it in and then immediately eject it. Is this a common problem, and if so, do I call sony for repair or is it something I might be able to fix myself?

I agree. I have totally mistreated my 40 gig and still no problems. Theater room construction dust all over it while using it. Installed and uninstalled linux. Hooked up multiple external hard drives. Bad ventilated area for a year. Used it outside in my garage on cold humid nights with a projector. Probably even dropped it. Oh and I have three kids and their friends putting god knows what into the disk slot. Not one issue yet, knock on wood.

I was talking to Netflix and Blockbuster reps and was told that they had lots of reports of unplayable disks from PS3 owners.
All firmwares have been installed.

whathappened, Netflix started putting on white labels at the center of BD disks this year. All of new released from NF with white labels at the center are unplayable in my 40Gb. Have you tried those white labeled new BD releases? I think 40GB has problems with those NF disks.

Our experience with the PS3s has been a refreshing change to my grandson's miseries with his old Xbox 360. which was both noisy and unreliable.

Mechanical devices can and do fail, of course, but the high opinion I hold for the PS3s I have bought seems to reflect the overwhelming consensus here.

And the "overwhelming consensus" is that we are SO happy with such great record.

But seriously, gwsat, can you share more insight than simply keep saying "mine works great" all the time?

I am trying to understand the instances where SOME disks fail in SOME PS3s, and what are the early warning signs, so that people can benefit from such experiences and be proactive in getting their PS3s fixed BEFORE the end of the warrantty.
