Yeah, so my PS3 broke on me today. I've tried putting in any disc I could find to see if it could work, but the disc drive isn't recognizing it. Has this happened to any one? It looks like it acknowledges there is something there but doesn't accept it.

I called Sony tech support and they said that it wouold cost £99 for a straight swap or £249 for an repair. I figured if there was no way to fix it, I may as well buy a new one! Anyone know of any cheap bundles knocking around in the UK? I've searched most of the normal sites but was wondering if any others were knocking around?

Alright, I've found a pack, just need one more thing. Does the slim line PS3 use the same type of hard drive?

My friend just got a slim and it does use the same hard drive size (2.5 SATA) bc he just switched his factory one out with his other one.

lol, the only thing i would say is DONT change ur mind if u come across a cheap old fat ps3, often the lettle saving aint worth it – when my 60 gb broke it was just inside warranty, but i've had a refurbished one for 6 months now – its hardly been that healthy, but still going…just.

Slims defo seem 2 be better, not 2 mention quiter, soooo annoyed at my fans whirring everytime i watch a DVD, have 2 pause every 10 mins to let it cool :@
