Hi guys, heres my problem, ok so i was playing battlefield 3 on my ps3 the other night when the game suddenly froze. I didnt give it much thought because its happened a few times before. However when i swtched off my console and turned it on again the game wasnt showing on the XMB screen. i ejected it and put it in again but it still wasnt showing up, the little icon in the top right of my screen was spinning as if it was trying to read the disc and then it made a sound as if it was trying to eject the disc but didnt. i tried another game but had the same problem. i then tried a dvd and that worked fine. Reluctantly i restored my system hoping this would fix the issue but still nothing, all this did was cause me to lose all my saved data . iv tried finding the answer online and have come to the conclusion i may need a new blu ray drive. i was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how they sorted it. would it be easier (cheaper) to just buy another Ps3 (preowned) or is it repairable. i have to admit im more gutted about losing all my saved data than i am about the actual Ps3. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
