The PS3 comes on but will not let us pick the game we have installed. We tried turning the console off and removing the disc. We let it sit overnight and tried it again. No luck. Please give us some advice.    Thanks

Unless this is a game you "installed" from the online store, then all other PS3 games require the disc in to play.

With the disc in the system, go to the Game heading in the menu. You should see a disc icon with the name of your game...now click it. If you do not see the image, you will probably see text that says "disc read error". In this case you need to either clean the disc, or replace the disc with a non-scratched or non-defective one.

If your PS3 does this with multiple non-defective discs, then your blu-ray drive may be defective.
