If anyone else has a PS3 and can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Here's the rundown of what's happening with my system:
I was playing FIFA Soccer 09 and in the middle of a match, the sound started going weird. The commentary completely cut-out, then the crowd sounds were going in and out. I paused the game and went to check audio settings. When I pressed to go into audio settings, the game stopped. However, it didn't freeze. The audio settings page didn't come up, but the camera was still panning around the stadium like it does in the pause menu. So I tried to turn off the system with my controller. After about 10 seconds after pressing "Turn off system", the PS3 beeped 3 times in quick succession. Then I had to just hold down on the power until it finally shut off.
I have tried playing FIFA maybe 3 or 4 more times since then, and it does the same thing every time. It also happened playing Madden 10, so it's not just the game. And yes, I just downloaded the newest system update, so it's not that. However, there is no "yellow light of death" or anything.
I've had some people say that that means that my blu-ray player is about to give out. Someone told me to clean that out, but I don't want to buy the cleaner if that's not going to fix the problem.
Can anyone help me out?
Anyone have a PS3?

I had a similar problem with a couple of my games....it sounds like the laser is about to pack in.
Have any of your games or DVD's failed to load at all??

I have a PS3 but can't really help you. It sounds to me like it's not reading all the information off the disc correctly which probably means a laser problem.
If you still have your guarantee Sony will probably fix it for you.

I just went out and purchased a new system. The other one was basically shot. But here's a question: Is there a way to transfer all my saved data from my last system to my new one? I started to play FIFA on the new system and realized that EVERYTHING is on the other system...

You could transfer the data to a external HDD and then onto the new system.
