Have you checked your game player for any dust. I mean, it could be because the lens of your game player is dusty and it is not able to read discs. That is the most obvious reason. Plus you need to check the discs on some other player or perhaps on your PC. Try to make sure that the discs are running on some other gadget or on your friend's PC or play station. I hope you try to resolve problem with my tip.

Hi My ps3 doesnt load games from bluray disc anymore, it plays audio cds.... this happened when i installed the latest update 3.56, i backed up files and formatted disc and i could load games again from...

This is the 2nd most common problem with PS3's. This isn't a bad problem. Your laser/lens will need to be replaced. There are many videos on youtube if you would like to do it yourself (I would advise you not to). I recommend that you find a technician who has experience. There are many things that can go wrong.

If you do, you must disassemble your drive and take out the laser to see exactly which laser you will need to purchase

I am trying to watch a blu ray dvd bit it wont allow me to play it the player just ejects the disc. do I need a software update

Not sure what you are playing it on. A BLURAY disc needs a BluRay compatible disc player, PS3 has one built in. Most PC DVD drives dont play BluRay as standard. Normal HOME DVD players of course cant play them either.

My ps3 will play regular dvd discs but no games whats wrong?

It's quite likely due to a weak Blu Ray laser. The DVD and BluRay are 2 different lasers so it could still be able to read and play DVD/CD but not the BluRay games.

160gb ps3 won't play games or bluray discs

Your PS3 may not be freezing entirely. Look in the top right hand corner of the screen, if the loading sphere is there you've nothing to worry about, and I would reccomend just waiting it out (it unfreezes). If it is not there it is a legitimate freeze and would reccomend sending it off and/or updating the system firmware.

My ps3 turns on but doesnt play any disc

It might not be set to auto-run. Instead, you'll need to use the XMB to select the disc which will appear under "Games" if it's a game or "Video" if it's a DVD or BluRay
