i was playing john woo's strangllehold. i had just died and was about to restart the level but the game took a long time loading , it never restarted. i turned the console off and truned it back on it i could noy get pass the menu page. usually when i put a game in it automatcally starts so i dont know wsup.
-   I had a problem where i was playing DMC4 and then after i turned it off to take a break, then came back, the **** won' t load. (well, after a few tries.) Not only that game, but any PS3 or blue Ray dvd. Ps2 is okay. (Obviously) This happened a while back, and its just getting more complicated.

-   Ok, me consoile play CD's, DVD's, PS and PS2 games. But WILL NOT play a single ps3 game! I've tried everything from Simnpsons to Smackdown to Fifa 09 and not a single one of them will load what-so-ever!
-   Ive had my PS3 (60 GIG) lil over a year now. Everything else on my console works but , it WILL NOT play any games. The only Game that works without freezing is Gran Turismo 5 prolouge. The only thing i suggest is sending it back to Sony for 169.00 which i will not do.-   klc9
This is such ********. I'm just glad I only paid 350 for it instead of 500 or 600 bucks. Fuckin Sony can kiss my ***! I sure hope the guys at Ebay that sold this to me aren't a bunch of scam artists. It was used, after all.
it just happened to me as well today but all i cant find about how to fix the problem is to take it back to the shop and get a new one-i know its not really a "how to fix it" but unless you want to break it open and have a go cutting wires id just return it for a new one and hopefully the shop wont charge.
well u can go to settings then system setting then go 2 restore ps3 then read do wat it tells u 2 do then go back to restore ps3 settings and go 2 yes it will say quick format or full format go 2 full format
caution:going 2 any of these will delete everything but th downloads you have on ur psn account so disable the psn acc first
you have to reset the hardware.. go to settings and click reset format ... it sucks because everything on your system has to get deleted but the game will work after
the problem could be the laser that reads the discs.. mine has the same problem. i insert the discs wether it be blu ray, ps3, or a dvd and the ps3 just reads the discs constantly... doesnt play them or even recognize what they are.
There is no way to fix this problem or any problem for the PS3. The only thing you can do is call sony, pull your pants down, and pray that they use K-Y as they RAPE you. $150.00 to be exact!
- system reset does not fix it - already has the latest firmware - disk format did not fix the problem
If it is out of warrenty (mine was) its a flat $150 from Sony to fix it. Lots of folks suggest software fixes but there is at least a class of these issues that is clearly hardware.
well, i just had the same exact problem, my ps3 wouldnt load any of my games, so i called the ps3 operators and was gonna send it in. i started to play a game i downloaded off the psn... after A qhile i went to go quit the game, and noticed that the disc that was in was on the ps screen. so i clicked it to plY, IT WORKED. so im not sure if it would work fer u.. but if u hav a downloaded game, play it, go to the ps screen and click the disc.. its inconvenent but it works out for people whoi cant find their recet....

When we turn on the Smart Cycle the TV screen is 1/2 black and 1/2 purple. There is no sound or any Fisher Price logo. We've changed the batteries, but the same trouble persists. The Smart Cycle is one year old.

My PS3 won't play PS3 games but it will play PS2 games?
Purchased Bejing Olymics and had to upgrade to system software version 2.30 before it would allow me to play the game. Played it for a while then began playing gta4 again. Played that for a while too. Then all of a sudden everytime I try to play any game, it doesn't load - i just get the menu screen. I have since downloaded system software version 2.41 and have restored ps3 system (4 hours) and i still have the same problem.

I loaded a game and it took too long loading. I turned the system off and turned it back on. After doing so, my ps3 never even loaded the game. I ejected the game and reloaded it, and again, it did not even try to load the game. What's wrong?
