The passing of a great friend :(

I received my review copy of Skate 2 on PS3 on the 16th, It was actually supposed to be an xbox 360 copy but someone messed up somewhere. So that error aside I go to start my journey into a game I’ve been waiting a LONG time for. Then trouble ensues, first for some reason the game wasn’t running like it should, second the textures started blurring out and not loading in properly. I thought I might of gotten a bad disk, but then my PS3 freezes, I restart the machine only to find out it will not read discs anymore. I’m like 15 days past my 1 year warranty and they want to charge me 160 dollars. I’m not happy, I’m quite depressed.
*sigh*
