If you're one of the many experiencing problems with your PS3 and its disc reading abilities, check out PlayStation Lifestyle's repair guide, courtesy of fellow GameGrepper DoucheVader.

This fix is for those of you that don't seem to have problems running downloaded games and using media off of sources that are not the drive. Most often this is caused by the Blu-Ray laser going bad.

    For $109 US you could have it fixed at the repair place that is fixing mine under warranty. I saw on their site they fix them at that flat rate also.
