Rant - three year-old PS3 is currently nothing more than a glorified living room ornament. Was playing last night through the first half-hour of a newly-purchased game when the screen suddenly froze up and the console shut down, with the system constantly putting out a blinking red light. Spent most of this morning combing the net for similar stories. Fortunately, my findings are that this isn't the dreaded Yellow Light problem. Instead, i'm faced with what might be three different scenarios - a problem with the power supply, hard disk failure or the BD laser being dirty or misaligned.
(minor) Rave - small mercy at least. I was able to use the system's fan cleaning cycle to get the stuck disk out.
