Yesterday i was playing Fifa with my brother and in the 2nd match suddenly the crowd stopped cheering and their was no voice for them their was only voice of the whistle, and the score bar disappeared along with the name bar and when the match finished the menu wasn't shown and the game freezed so we had to turn off the system, and we left it turned off for about 2 hours. When I came to play UC2 a little bit I didn't find the disk to enter the game and how much I tried to eject the game and then insert it it didn't work at all, I can still play demos and sign in but I can't play any games that are based on disk.

Why do you think guys this happened? It's not electricity related because I have a ups to avoid any change in the electricity.
Check these they are helpful.
If you have an old 40GB model well too bad because they have a low quality cheap with a single lens.
Bad luck dude. Your Blu-ray lens is dead. And the only way to fix it is to get a new PS3 slim. To my knowledge, I don't know anybody who replaces these.
That's as bad as the Xbox360's "Red Ring of Death" , Its a big problem that always occur with most of Sony's consoles, It happened to me with my PS2 once back in 2003, I had to fix it and the costs were the price of a new console almost, So most probably your PS3 is dead, that's why I don't deal with consoles anymore, their lifespan suck...
No their's someone in my area who fixes it and it costs 90$ and I have the 80gb one and it's not yellow light of death it's only a lense damage because I'm still able of play demos and signing in and everything except playing games based on disk. So I'm going to fix it because I don't have another choice, and I won't buy a new ps3 because the PS4 or a new PS will be realeased after a year and a half.
You can send it to Sony but you have to pay u have nothing to losse try calling them
I just sent it to someone in my area. I'll see if he can fix it first.
Hope you fix your ps3

Another thing, the ps4 will not be released in a year and a half, sony have a 10 year life cycle for the PlayStation, it will still last about 5 years now.

No, they only say that to keep selling the slim so no one will say why buying now and the new PS will be released soon, Sony will surprise us trust me.
I have speculated that any news of a new PS is going to be around 2012-2013 and release dates between 2014-2015. Sony might be working on it now because i saw on Discovery science once that a scientist in a Japanese university(i think Tokyo) that he is working on a project that he is willing to use on a new PlayStation.
I wont say what is this project because i forgot some of the details.
if that guy was not able to fix it , i would love to take a look .
Ok why not, I wish that you've told me before because yesterday I gave it to him and he told me that he'll be giving it back on saturday, I'll post on saturday if it worked or not.
