Sorry for acting like a noob here, just got a unit during launch. I noticed that the PS3 games over play-asia are relatively cheap, and they do not include shipping charge too.
My question is would it be cheaper to make playasia my centre of buying games? Or would you suggest me to continue visit my favourite retailer and kept on bugging for a best price?
Some of them indeed are quite a bit cheaper.
Though personally, I don't buy from PA either ways. Mainly because it takes too long for it to arrive at your doorstep. More over, if you search hard enough and bargain enough with local gameshops, you can get the same price or something near that. I'd rather pay a little more than to wait god knows how long for it to arrive through delivery.

You should understand this: Sony Malaysia
DOES AND WILL NOT entertain any PS3s consoles not being a MY set.
Which also means, they won't even care if you pay them, they'll not look at your unit unless it is a MY set. Its under their T&C warranty.
I suggest you do this, play PES 2008 again and play a full match if possible. If there are no problems then the problem may just be the COD4 disc being faulty.
When a Blu-Ray disc is faulty, it can automatically jack the Blu-Ray laser in your PS3 to go too close onto the disc because its having difficulties reading data off from it and thus freezing the game.
Try other games as well.
A dying lens symptom is frequent freezing(which means just freeze out of no where).
