I don't play my PS3 much anymore. About two downloads ago, I started having problems. The game/movie will play for about 15-25 minutes, then it says disk error. It lists an error number, I forget to write it down. I looked on the internet, some say it was a download in January that is causing problems, I started having issues about the time of the mandatory download. However, some say it's a bad laser and it costs about $60 for a new one if you want to do it yourself, $150 or more if you have Sony fix it. The weird part is that my laser works, for a while, every thing on the internet says it doesn't work at all.
I wonder if the Sony download didn't totally break my system, creating an influx of money for Sony, and I just got a partial breakdown.
Either way it's a bummer.
