Then get onto Quantronics (from memory) and buy the parts you need to repair your old one
Then keep it as a second bluray player, media streamer or sell it off
Bah! Finally downloaded Undead Nightmare and played it for a few minutes before the unit decided to not want to recognise discs (of any content). Days of research has left me with only one conclusion: buy a brand new 160GB PS3 for $299 from Harvey Norman.
Haven't heard too many positive stories from people who got their laser fixed/Blu-Ray drive replaced for anywhere between $100-200.
Just seems logical to spend another $100 and buy a brand new unit... and perhaps sell the old unit for $150 as non-game-playing device
Thoughts?

Can't figure out which to replace - the laser or the whole blu-ray drive? Plus I've read stories that they're not even replaceable!
Yep http://www.quantronics.com.au/ is their website. I got my PS3 laser replaced by them. Worked great right up until the ps3 wouldn't load anything, no menu, no sounds, nothing. Dead. Since I also had a xbox 360, I'm now a xbox man... Rather spend my cash on my car rather then a PS3.Originally Posted by poita
Replace the laser, its cheaper and makes more sense. They are replaceable. I know this first hand.
this thread should be called "un-dead ps3 nightmare" hahahahaha

Buy an xbox. Replace the PS3 laser, and just use it as a standalone blu-ray player/paperweight.

Only game I ever play on the PS3 is GT5, but yeah, I'm kinda getting sick of it. As I also own a couple of 360's (one is stock, one is JTAG'd), I'm waiting for Forza 4. At least they put more recent Opel cars in it, lol. Since I JTAG'd the second console, the only thing my PS3 does is collect dust, along with the Wii (You know, those little white boxes that have those controls you can wave around like a tool and get nowhere with).
The other thing you could do with the PS3, is turn it into a George Foreman Grill. I've seen that on the web somewhere.
