PS3 Problem...
Ok Playing Race Driver: Grid and it crashed so tryed the PS button on the controller to no avail. Left it to see if it would read again not happening. In the end i turned it off and back on again. At first it would read the disc but not play it now it wont read any discs :/ Its only 6 months old.
Anybody had any similar problems?

Heard about this problem, can't you start the system without a disk in, go to the main menu and format like you can on PSP's, not sure whether this will resolve the issue though - if not then I'd get in contact with Sony. It'll still be under warranty.

It's probably due to overheating if not well ventilated like most gaming machines.
Or it might be the fact of any software updates you have done recently etc.. format should do the trickt etc. might just be a dodgy download or install.
