I know, not good. Sony will send you the disc back but there are a few horror stories of them taking an age to do so. 

 

They do. My housemate had his PS3 fixed around January with World At War stuck inside, and they still haven't sent it back.

Re: My ps3 has a red flashing light

To get the disc out, make sure your PS3 is switched off from the back.

Then, hold down the eject button, then switch the PS3 back on from the back (so it enters standby).

Still holding down the eject button, you should hear the fans roar. If this doesn't get your disc out, try again.

 

I too, was a victim...

Re: My ps3 has a red flashing light

My PS3 broke on Wednesday with the disc stuck in and it took three shots of the mega fan eject button thing, so you could give it another shot? :smileyhappy:

When my first one broke, it took about 4 weeks to get Warhawk back. But it was going pretty cheap on the store so I just bought it from that anyway.

It's not covered by any insurance? :smileysad:

No insurance, I guess I'm just going to have to give them a call and bite the bullet of paying

Re: My ps3 has a red flashing light

A fair few people on here seem to have been able to get a 12 month instead of 3 month warranty on the replacement, it's worth asking about or asking for a manager if they say no at first because it's something they've done recently for other people. And hopefully Continuous Play comes back before that 12 months are over and you could go for it :smileyhappy:
