This is normally because the laser on the drive is slightly off. The good thing is that you can fix this yourself it is quite simple.

Or of course you can send it in to be fixed it is up to you.

If you send it in you will have to pay out about $130 to get it fixed.

My play station will play dvds but will not play games or blue ray discs

This is caused by a bad blu ray laser. The laser needs to be replaced. Check out www.wiredextreme.com or call 1-888-389-3038. We are a professional repair company that can replace this for you. All of our repairs include a 90 day warranty on the whole console and not just what was repaired.

The PS3 will not recognize games or movies. You load it and it will not show in up in the menu of options. It powers and shows the normal menu but does not recognize games or dvds regular or blue ray.

Sony palystation 3 80g only plays DVDs and sony playstation 2 gam

You need to replace the blu-ray laser. It's a VERY common problem. It's due to a factory defect with the laser.

Most 80GB models use laser model KES-400A or KES-400AAA.

You can either contact Sony for repair 1-800-345-SONY.

They charge $150 or you can go the DIY route for under $100.

My ps3 wont play blue ray discs or my games anymore

if your ps3 doesnt play ANY games or dvds, that may mean that the eye on the ps3(the thing that reads the disks and dvds) is malfunctioning, not moving efficiently enough to procces the disk, not recognizing the encrypted code on the disks, or the optical eye could even be scratched. the disk feed could also not be feeding the disk in far enough for the eye to read it. i would definitly suggest calling customer service and/or bringing the ps3 to an A+ certified technition to "diagnose" your problem.

Usa to uk

I have one in the uk, some blue ray discs are region encoded (some work some don't). Uk DVD's don't work and neither do old uk playstation 1 or 2 games. However all PS3 games are region free and work fine.

Blue ray discs problem

Hello.
When you put in a disc, listen for the disc to start spinning. If you do not hear that then the laser and/or the spindle have blown out. You will have to get your Blu-Ray player serviced by a pro or Sony. Sony may fix it for free. They know that the drives are failing. So call them first.
I hope this helps! Good luck to you.
