PS3 Disc Residue

[Darthshearer]

Hey Up All

My friend has a PS3 and has just been playing CoD4 when it stopped reading it. Anyways, after ejecting the disc he noticed some sort of oily residue on it, around the perimeter of the disc about 1cm in width.

Has anyone else with a PS3 had this and if so, what is it?

TIA

Can I add an Ewww...

But no I've never heard of this.

Best guess, oil/grease from the drive bearing - either way it shouldn't be heading the way of the discs :/
I'd suggest getting it looked at, or possibly asking your friend if he happened to be eating very buttery toast when loading the disc in the first place

Glad to see you didn't lower the tone too much Kryt.

Delket had to take his first PS3 back last week on the day he bought it, the drive was grinding like mad so it sounds like another issue with the bearings.

Cheers for the help guys, he is going to take it back and get it replaced
