Im another person, updated the system, when to play a game, it froze, I reset the console and it hasnt been able to read a disk since. mines a 60gb original with ps2 compatability

OK, I'm glad I found this thread.

So, this is what happened:

I started playing Modern Warfare 2 today, but I had to update first to firmware 3.01.

After a few levels, my PS3 froze in-game.

When I wanted to start Modern Warfare 2 again, my PS3 didn't found a disk.

Since then, none of my Blu Rays are working, only DVD's still play well.

Sony, what is this?!

My ps3 blue ray player died after the 3.01 update Lets convert to xbox. Ps3 have broken hundreds of ps3s and want to charge 100 pound to fix them

I like the ps3 though... and you're a hell of a lot more likely to get a RRoD tbh

Just heard that a ps3 update is looking a bit more definite. Apparently some screenshots which had facebook on the ps3 were on the ps3 UK website but then pulled off very quickly.

Exactly the same, gutted

Will they replace it or do I have to fork out to buy a new one?

I have had it since July 08, its 40gb version.

It depends on when you bought it, if it's still under it one year guarantee they'll replace it for free if you have the receipt or a bank statement.

Someone is planning on suing Sony according to this article. So how come Sony are still letting the update happen

Not sure what we're going to do now......

And yes we know it is affecting a 'small' proportion of users what ever that might be but it still sucks that the expensive console youve taken great care with packs up along with thousands of others after an update.

General ware and tear you can deal with, this......... is just a pain in the @rse and a joke
