GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Saturday, Jan 5, 2008

Ok I think my PS3 is in trouble. My buddy was playing and all of a sudden the system shut down, the red light was flashing. I try restarting again....makes the fake of turning on and goes back to the blinking red light. Now it doesnt work....my game disc is still inside too...and I cant get it out. I checked the FAQ and it says leave the system unused until it cools down. I disconnected the power cord and shut the main power switch for a couple of hours....and still not working. Anyone else got this problem? Do I have no choice but to send it back to Sony?

EDIT: Oh and guys I found out there wre a few power outages in my house these last days while my PS3 was running so most likely one of those killed it :S

Man, that sucks I hope you can get it to work again. Apparently there is quite a few who has experienced this. But I'd contact Sony, if I were you. Hmm, this makes me kinda scared of using my own PS3

Btw, which game was your buddy playing? Apparently this usually happens to Activision games (if what I read was true) And that makes me even more scared of using my PS3, cuz CoD4 is about the only game I play on my PS3 now, at least until I get my RGB SCART cable.

Lol I know I was updating but it was the update that didn't allow you to log on to the PSN and then I tryed using the restore option (thought it was going to restore updates) but then I played Rb6v and my rank was gone so then I popped in Rfom and my Campain was gone then i knew it was all Formated.

you can get the disc out by pushing the eject button longer(5 seconds).It's called an emergency eject.
