yeh it happened to me last week, sony are gonna swap it 4 a refurb which is a bit s**t but waiting 4 2weeks has p****d me off. i just want to be using my ps3 again. how did it happen to everyone else? i put in pes 08 and the game was in 4 less than 5 secs and it froze, waited a few mins and then tried holding down the power button, nothing so i flipped the switch on the back and after that it won't play anything. i feel like abit a of fool but hey s**t happens.
