Ps3 Disk Drive Dead

[dkwookie]

Turned my ps3 on this morning and put a game in but my ps didn't recognise it. Tried couple disks n nothing, just a slow read noise from ps. This is a 60gig launch machine that's been replaced by sony about 18 months ago. Ironically the reason I got it replaced last time was same problem.
I guess I should feel lucky as I have copied my saves.
I also have a slim ps3 120 gig in box I got 3 months ago cos I knew it was going to die. It's pretty sad you need a backup for your console these days. I have a launch Japanese dreamcast that still works fine!
Funny thing is I bought a 360 arcade from amazon yesterday as a spare for when my current 360 dies
