anyone had this problem with a ps3 before?

i just got a ps1 game that i bought online and when i went to try it the console was acting like there was nothing in the drive, first thing i thought was that it might be a problem with the game so i dug out my old copy of ff7 that i had tried on the system before and its doing the same with that too :confused:

its still playing ps3 games so i dont think its the drive

its the old 60gig model that plays ps2 games, i just tried a lens cleaner in it and it wouldnt read that, wont read a music cd either but it still reads ps2 games so it seems like cds are what its having trouble with

i think that might be it, looks like ill be getting a slim and a ps2 for the old games

im trying to find a phone number for sony to see how much they would charge to repair it but i cant find one anywhere, does anyone here have it?

i just found it and the best they can offer is a refurbished console with a 3 month warranty for £160

i said "you must think im sone kind of ***t, i could get a new slim for about £90 more" and they said it was all i could do :rolleyes:

while im sure its possible i would be too afraid of cocking it up

thanks but a friend of mine has said he will give me £130 for my old ps3 as it still plays ps3 and ps2 games

ill definetly be picking up a slim now

yep

plus i plan to get a 250gig and rip my cd collection to it

ill give that a go, did they try to charge you the first time you spoke to them too?

Langlest · 23 Dec 2009 at 16:41

well i called them again and they still said the same thing, they told me a manager could call me back if i wanted but as i bought the console in 2007 they didnt think i would get and more luck with him

i just sold it to my friend for £130 and tomorrow ill add an extra £150 to that and get a bundle that comes with assassins creed 2, call of duty mw2 & a 250gig console so i dont think i did too bad

those games would cost me about £80 if i bought them so i have added 190gig of space and bought a 12 month warranty for £70
