(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); ok..
my third ps3 in one year ,and AGAIN it died...
i was playing cod(off-course) and for some reason it kept loading in the mainmenu.
i restarted the game and it just cant read no disk anymore.
its the second time this happened. and my 3rd ps3 in a year( almost 2 years)
1* ps3 not released so long, payed 600 € for it. -someone broke in and stole it after a couple months.
2* a year later, purchased a new one for 400 €, it didn live long.
almost a month later, while playing assasin creed, it stopped reading bleuray's. and i got a brand new one from the store, on garrantie.
3* this one has the same problem within a year..

i dont know what i'm doing wrong. ADVICE = WELCOME
i noticed it started blowing realy hard, specialy when playing from hard drive,
and map packs.

ALL THIS OPENS NEW OPPERTUNITY'S TO KNOW THE PS3 A LITTLE BETTER FROM THE INSIDE.
OR MAYBE EXPAND MY HORISON, TAKING HIM FOR A WALK( swim, ride, ...)

Ive had my uk ps3 since uk launch so that music be like 3 years ago or some shit lol never had any problems, but i do keep most of my windows open in my bedroom and i clean my ps3 with compressed air once a week so ive never really experienced problems, my best advice would be to put your ps3 somewhere where its got less dust or just make sure on both sides there like 3-4 inch space so the fans dont overhead, and maybe clean your air vents with compressed air every now and then.
