Help First up i had that two red light problem....now i played unreal 3 and the game froze so i took out the disc and there were these circles like it was scratched...but none of my games ever had scratches

have you checked to see if your ps3 has taken any damage?

Mate this exact thing happened to my mate playing the same game.

He called Sony and they took it away and fixed it...

Get on to them.

call sony asap

there are some games that requiered more form your machine. this game takes your ps3 go to the limit and it make it overheat. you requiered an external cooling system. i had the similar problem with Unreal Tournament game

go to www.modchipman.com and repair sevices i used them when my xbox's were dead and they had the red ring and disc read error they can fix it in ten minutes i watched them install a new tray on mine. anyways they have your problems the disc error and freezing. $9.99 but your yellow light $99.99 the cost to see your ps3 run again.

unplug everything, clean the discs, plug in and try again

i think u might be getting the red ring of death my xbox did the same thing and a month later i got red ring

try Team Hybrid's Ultimate X-clamp fix

When someone say that his/her Xbox is having 3 red lights problem, It means it needs to be repaired. If you are using Cooler than it is not a cure but a prevention. You could have used cooler before acutally having the problem just to prevent your Xbox. But now you will have to either get it repaired from Microsoft (in case your Xbox's warranty is not expired, but one thing to note is that you will have to wait for at least 3-4 weeks to get back your Xbox) or you can Fix your Xbox's 3 Flashing red lights problem yourself with the help of DIY Video guide available on Internet. You can fix yourself without any technical knowledge.

I have the red circle of death flashing on my playstation 3. I cannot play any games or watch any movies. Can this be fixed or do I have to buy a new one.
