Broken Ps 3

[El_Commi]

I bought a brand new 320GB PS3 in June/July. I have maybe played about 20-30 hours of games on it in total.
It's been used mostly as a way to streat Netflix/Iplayer.

This weekend, I tried to pop in a game as I had a fe4w friends over. The disk sounded like it spun for about 5 seconds. THen nothing. Doesn't throw up an error or any other indication that there is an issue.

I am planning to reformat it like a friend suggested, but I can't see how the disk drive can suddenly stop working. There's no damage on the console. Literally worked on the Thursday, dead on the Friday.

Anyone heard of this before? Am I likely looking at an RMA/replacement?

Sure it's not just a faulty disc? Probably stating the obvious here but have you tried some different discs? As you've only had the console since July then it should be covered by warranty, so if it is faulty it should be easy enough to get it exchanged.
