WHAT HAPPENED TO MY PS3!?!?!

I was in the middle of playing an online game in the semifinal in my euro 2008 knockout cup. As soon as I scored my first goal in the 10th minute, these strange colors filled my screen and the ps3 shut off, beeping like 2-4 times. Now, the red light on my ps3 is currently blinking red, while the system is off. WHAT'S GOING ON?

I have the japanese silver 40gb model if that helps at all.

Sounds like the graphics card might have died.

That doesn't sound good. Time to call Sony.

You'll have to pay to get it repaired, but it will be cheaper than a new PS3 I guess.

Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO MY PS3!?!?!

I've read several stories (even here, iirc) of guys just calling Sony and getting a replacement pretty much with no questions asked; they just want the serial number and whatnot. Don't freak just yet.
