    Does anyone know of someone local who can fix PS3's

    My sons one is not reading any discs and we've tried cleaning the laser...

    Sony will replace a faulty PS3 for about £40, I know someone who had theirs since the release date, it broke a few month back and was replaced with the new slimline version, give em a ring and see.

    Sony PlayStation Careline - 08705 99 88 77 (National Rate)

    Hi Kitty
    Have you tried the number? Just wondering how you got on as a friend has a similar problem with his PS3.

    Hey Geo, no i haven't because we opened up the the PS3 to clean the laser so very much doubted that they would agree to help once the seal had been broken
