It sounds like your ps3 is overheating. You should send it in to Sony if it is under warranty because if it gets any worse they will charge $150 to fix it.

when i put my ps3 game in it just comes up the disc is not reading and then it freezes

Could be several issues. If it is under warranty Sony will fix it for free. If it is not under warranty then you can try to fix it. Try the easy solution first. Clean the lens. You have to take apart your ps3, remove the blu ray drive and take that apart. There are videos and tutorials on how to do that. Get some lens cleaner, clean it with a qtip and put it back together. If that does not work then you can buy the laser lens, or the whole assembly either online or from ebay. Cost anywhere from $30-$70. If out of warranty and you want to send it to Sony I think it costs around $150 to fix.

Help brand new ps3 hard drive corrupted. Im not taking the hardrive out, HELL NO!

I would return for replacement if it is new. Or send to sony would be under warranty if under 1 year. If not warrantied try to format the hard drive.Replace hard drie if it is older style PS3 and not the new slim PS3. I think the hard drive is built in and cannot be removed. If is a slim, your best bet is the warranty. Good Luck.

im having problems with the playstation freezing when im playing

if the ps3 also shuts down on its again own due to overheating. It is necessary to disassemble the unit and apply AS5 compound and shim the heatsinks to ensure proper contact between the heat sink and the processors. I can do this for $55 or you can send to SONY if under warranty. If not under warranty they will fix for 150+tax call 1800345SONY. if they decide they cant fix it they will send you a reburbished unit, which may , unfortunately, break again..XBOX360 has the same EXACT problems...
