Your disc drive may be going bad or a connection may be loose. You may want to consider sending it to Sony to get it repaired or if you are savvy enough you can do it yourself but be wary. if you do it yourself your warranty will be no longer applicable. If home works then the system is not overheating as seems to be the issue with most systems.

Playstation 3 Stopped Playing Blu Ray Discs and Games

It's a factory defect. I've fixed over 100 PS3's with the same exact problem. Your blu-ray laser went out. You need to contact Sony or if you're in Los Angeles you can contact me. I fix the problem for $120 and within 30 minutes. Sony charges $150+ and takes God knows how long.

PS3 having trouble reading game discs!!!

hey guys. the problem is that the blue ray reader is some how broken and it won't work. mine kept freezing during games like after 3 mins. and it wouldnt read any more discs for that day. you need to change the blue ray reader and that costs about 175$. thats alot of money and its probably not worth it.
