Yeah the final boss level took a few attempts.
The thing which I found with that game is that as you really need to control your adrenaline and stay very cool and detatched throughout. Any break in concentration can be fatal!

My PS3 did this. There was a link to a place on the Sony PS3 website where, for 5 quid a month you could extend the warranty for your PS3 and if it went tulipshaped like this they would replace it - refurb one only. My 60gb died and they didn't have any left and the lead time was months (I guess they are pretty flakey) so they gave me the 80gb one instead and it was fresh out of the box. I joined, paid my 5 quid. Waited 2 weeks, to be a good sport and then logged the call. The new one arrived a couple of days later and then I cancelled the direct debit.

We moved house in Jan, I have as yet to wire the Wii up to the TV

Having said that, the Wii fit does look like good fun and I wouldn't mind trying second opinion 2

Both controllers vibrate....assumming that's her sole requirement

The £199.99 deal finished at Sainsburys last week so it's back to £249.99. Our Wii is gathering dust now since the Flubster family have turned their attention to the latest toy. Even the Mrs has started getting into EyePet (quite possibly the best game in the world...ever).

Yep...still getting to grips with it (i.e. whenever the kids can be prised off it). Quite like the 'seamless' view of media servers on my network too. I shouldn't surprised by all this technology (for the price) but can't help creaming over gadgets like this. Feel a muppet for not getting one before...

A couple of extra updates recently.
BBC iplayer is now (sort of) integrated into the OS
You can now download films as either a purchase or a rental from the playstation store. Over 500 titles to rent at the moment.

It has the latest update installed. I've done a full restore, format, restore file system but still no.

Took it apart at the weekend and cleaned the blu lens with lens cleaner and a cotton bud.

It knows there's a disc in it as the little timer spins in the TRH corner but nothing happens.

Auto-start discs is on.

Any ideas folks?

It'll be a bust laser. About £100 to replace IIRC. If it's less than a year old then Sony will replace it.
