Default PS3 won't read disk :(

During play this wknd my PS3 just froze. After re-setting it doesn't even try to read the disk inside. I've managed to get it working once or twice but it just does the same again. Having searced the net it appears that this problem is quite common. Anyway, my question -
I bought it from Argos in March, do i return it to them or do i call Sony? In either event, can i remove the save game info off it?

Id take to Argos as no need to post / sort courier etc. I believe (but Ive only had mine 2wks so never tried it) you can backup game save data etc to a USB stick.

I guess Argos would be better anyway as i assume they'll just replace and Sony might go for a repair. Cheers

This is what happened to mine. Sony replaced it within 4 days, sending a guy over with another, and collecting mine.
