ok so my PS3 doesn't read discs anymore.

i know i'll probably need it repaired.

in the meantime, i have a question. if i own a game like NCAA, is there anyway i could download it to play it instead of playing the disc copy?

this is probably a really nooby noob question but i only play games from discs. TIA

if its the old one then no thats rediculous, because it will crap out soon anyway, if its the new slim model sounds about right.

but if its the old one, just buy a new one.

whats your psn.. ill add you and rape you when it gets fixed

I paid $95 (30 for labor, 65 for part) but mine is a newer PS3. If you have the money, I would just get a newer one unless you have PS2 games you still like to play
