I feel like I'm being ripped off. I'm on my 3rd system and of course, warranty expires and I get this. Luckily the first two systems were under warranty. The second one was faulty right out the box! And it's not like I play all day and burn it out. My problem now is that I cannot play any games. It happened while playing the new GTA V. The game froze, causing me to have to pull the plug. Now, it makes an eject noise when I turn it on, and none of my games can be read. So I search the internet for solutions and people with the same problem. "Coincidentally" tons of people are having the same problem occur while playing GTA V. So I try the solutions, safe mode, reformat, rebuild, etc, and still nothing. Funny how this happens to a vast number of people RIGHT BEFORE the release of the PS4. So to get around this I said hey, I can download games, they're not discs. I buy GTA San Andreas, install it, bam. Freezes after the first mission. It tells me that it was corrupted and has to be reinstalled. and downloaded ag
Additional info, added Friday January 10 2014, 2:17 am: again. I go through this process FOUR TIMES. Still can't play games. I'm starting to think I'll have to buy a new system and will never get my money back. I can't return a downloaded game.. Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?

Also, If the warranty expired you may still be able to call Sony and ask them for an extended warranty or if you could renew it. If you still have the receipt then I would take it too Gamestop or where you bought the system from and demand a refund. Don't keep buying systems that you have had problems with, Sounds like someone could of possibly gotten a virus with a download. Call up Sony [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
