yes mine broke couple of days ago this has been my 3rd console and only had the latest one for 2 months and broke,got a new one sent out thow since it was still in 3 months warinty! how long have you had it for?? how long is the warrenty out?? my 2nd console was 6 months out of warrenty but they repaired it for free since i already got it repaired by them. they are really good with the customers always sort it out for you ring them up and tell them how many you have had etc thats what i did and they negotiated on the console also is your ps3 standing or lying flat?? reason for as my has been standing all the time and it damages the console so lie it flat if not.
