well its not a red ring issue, its a disc reading issue.

It spins but just says "Open Tray" as if nothing was in there.

My PS3 stopped reading discs.
All I did was call Sony in California, they sent me a box with labels etc, emailed me a form, and I Just have to ship it to Coquitlam to get it fixed.

For your sake, I hope it works out the same.

Sounds like the laser is out of alignment or maybe dirty.

Either way, it's a pain to have to ship it out and wait for it. But I guess it's better than nothing.

Finally had time to call them.

They want $119 for the shipping, and repairs and another warranty because the 1 year warranty is up.

FML

Thinking I may just buy a cheap arcade version. I would get another console, controller, warranty, cables, and some crappy arcade games and memory card for $199

Plus i wouldnt have to wait like 40 days

Suggestions?

It won't take that long. It took mine 12 days or so, and I didn't pay a cent.

That's bullshit at how much they charge though.
