I have invested too much $ not to fix it, but this is the easiest and most affordable way. it doesnt matter if u bought your system there or not. they will ask u to estimate the price u paid for the system and the extended warranty. they even send u the shipping label, all u have to provide is the box to ship it. they are very fast, sent it off thurs and they recieved it monday. hope to have it back soon.

The unit is less than 2 years old. This is just plain wrong. Sony should offer deeply discounted replacement drives for the do-it yourselfer.

I have had it 2 years and played it no more than 20 hrs in that time. Right after I bought it , after an update my screen went black. I sent it in for warranty repair. Now it is the blu-ray drive as my desk top and internet work ok but can not load anything. I would join a class action rather than giving Sony another 149.00. My 60 gb dumped last week.

There has to be hundreds of thousands of PS3 owners who have had their blu ray drive stop working. How many more does it take before Sony recalls this? Reimburse those of us who have already paid and replace those whose drives haven't died yet. They will though! After 16 months, my blu ray stopped working.

I've downloaded the 2.70 update with no effect. It went down at 11.5 months. We didn't get our act together to get it in for warranty work, and now we're out of luck. Just a horrible product, (especially for the big $$) in my opinion. Same here– our 80G PS3 won’t read any BluRays, or PS3 games. I’ve downloaded the 2.70 update with no effect.

This was truly just a few times use, about 3-4 hours each time and it failed. The Blu-Ray drives in these PS3's are defective and Sony needs to step up to the plate with a recall. I will not pay them $150 to fix a defective product. They need to do a recall! I hope someone puts together a class action lawsuit on this. I think it's only a matter of time since the problem is so widespread. My Blu-Ray drive failed after only a few uses but I didn’t contact Sony in time to get it fixed under warranty.

It starts to load the game, then locks up. will play HDD based games, so it's not the system. Also, a quick google search will show this to be many more than the two people (now 4 people) who have read this thread and reported their drive dead. If you take a sec and thinka bout how many poeople have a ps3, and of those, how many have read this thread, and of those how many have had their drive fail, and of those how many actually bothered to report it here... 4 could likely represent tens to hundreds of thousands..
