Games Extreme (where I bought my PS3) are now advising customers who bought the PS3 from them not to use it much to watch Bluray movies kasi madali daw masisira ang lens.
really?! for me its hard to objectively say that the real cause of the broken lens is through watching bluray, if they really want to dissect it dapat tanungin nila mga na siraan how they used their ps3 (gaming vis-a-vis watching dvds and bluray).
sa pinoypsx (playstation forum), some members there actually think that the firmware has a contributory factor in the problem, may isang member kasi dun, ok ang ps3 nya, nung nag update to 2.17fw, nag ha-hang na ang ps3 nya pag nag play ng bluray (either games or movie) but other functions work (accessing the hd or watching dvds) kaya puzzled sya. then he decided to update to 2.20fw, oila! ok na sya ulit. wierd but true story from a real life user of ps3.
