Is my PS3 dying?

Lately it's had an odd time with discs. It takes it, reads it, nothing happens, then I can eject it. Power cycling let it read discs again and it's working fine today. Could it be a lens issue? Is it about to die on me?

I've had it for a few years so I'd hate to lose it already.
My Saturn lasts for almost twenty years and Sony hardware barely lasts five. :(

    sadly yes, this is a fairly common issue I see at work.

    That doesn't sound good. I'm assuming you've tried multiple discs and it's doing this to all of them? Have you tried DVDs or CDs?

    Yep, multiple discs. It's running fine today, but yesterday not so much.
