Playstation.com says it is a disc read error.

My 60GB model has worked flawlessly since the day that I brought it home.



I work my PS3 hard with a combination of movies, games, and protein folding simulations. I almost never turn it off because it folds protein when not viewing a movie or gaming.



To me it seems that Sony really engineered the PS3 extremely well and that most of these problems are not going to be hardware related.



From what I have read about this problem I will definitely not take the cheap route on the HDD upgrade that I plan to make in the near future. I would not suggest that anyone else does either.

I was playing NFS Pro street, approx 4 hrs after the 2.20 update and got this error. I could put in a Game and play like one match or less than 10 minutes, and it would start acting up. I had to send my PS3 to Sony, and it is currently back-logged waiting to be repaired since April 4th, 08.

That error has been known for a while. I like how the media plays it out to be a new serious problem.



Based on forum statistics alone, those who get this error do not get it again on average or rather for the most part. Just a hiccup.

Mine froze on the title screen of Turning

Point but we all know that is a faulty game.

you dont have to send your unit for repair.

unlike some other console that when it flashes 3 lights then its 1 month of no gaming.

as long as the ps3 doesnt develop a dreaded malfunction like those 3 lights, for me ps3 is the best console to date.
