mine keeps freezing. I thought it was just connection issues with walker (SC coach), but it froze last night too. I hardly ever play it, but i'm wondering if i'm gonna have to go down this path too...

My PS3 just joined the "I don't want to read your discs anymore club" last night. I went to fire it up and the thing just would not read any discs that I put in.

I haven't got a chance to call them yet but I think it is just out of warranty. If it is under warranty then I can get it fixed now. My luck it will be out of warranty and I can't afford to get it fixed right now.
