Sorry to hear that mate, how long have you had it? Take it back to the shop?

If it makes you feel any better, my Xbox 360 Elite (the 120gb HD one) fried itself last week

Yes basically the 360's are toasters that take ages to warm up.

Call Sony and they will replace it.

Not sure if this works on the 60gb... but for all your 40gb owners... 60gb might as well try if you switch off the console with the switch on the back. hold down the eject button, then switch on the switch on the back whilst keeping hold of the eject button... after a couple of seconds the console will enter self maintenance mode and all the fans will whizz up to clear the inside of dust.
