Question about
How do you get a stuck disc out of a dead PS3?
A friend of mine recently had his PS3 die on him. Sadly, his copy of Madden 12 is stuck inside and he hasn't been able to eject it. Is there a secret trick to forcing the PS3 to spit out a stuck disc?

This young man is a GDGT'er in the making, and while a bit slow to start, he seems to get the job done. Also, footage of adorable doggy!
PS3 Fat?
Give this a shot.

(may not work with all PS3 systems, but then again, it may work for your friend.
If a picture is worth a thousand words..

Don't PS3's, or rather all CD/DVD drives, have a little hole next to them to poke a paper clip into to do a force eject?
