Mine did the same thing. I only can play downloaded games. Getting the ps4 next week instead of paying for a laser replacement. Fucked up that psn wont let me get the downloaded copy of a game i already bought on disc.

Get the repair.
Unless getting a new/used one for $100 is doable. If the repair is cheaper & doesn't take a long time to do.. that'd be the route to take. |

Maybe.. but that's a risk u just gotta take.
It's also best to take EXTRA good care of ur shit... like, run some coolant fans.. always power off the console when not using.. keep it dust free.. ect. There's some preventative measures u can take to at least attempt to keep ur PS3 in working order, at all times. |

Without tying the game to your account you can still borrow/lend games to friends and family or resell it without any extra hassle. I can understand the predicament you're in, but given everything into account it's actually better this way. Also, @Tom Sparks; 6 years is pretty decent tbh. I don't know what the average life span of a PS3 is, but I think you've passed that.

True. I'm in a good mood today so I'll side with you. FUCK PSN for not making the right shit to let you play BO2 and shit. Fucking faggots.
