-   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.

WHY?!?!?! -   Guest

-   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!

Any suggestions??? -   t0k3

-   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.

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

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!

I have a similar problem.

- 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.

Comment by coultsk, posted on Jul 09, 2008

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?
