Ps3 40 when i put disc in it wont read it itseams to have locked up

it doesint read a copy disc if it is not a copy disc it is that you should try to clean it because it is durdy put on a cleaner on a disc and put the disc inside it should work again use a spray cleaner only

Look for a different one,It will cost you less then having it repaired,

If you have recently tried to mod your Xbox 360 then you did not get the drive key installed correctly. Otherwise the laser lens is either dirty/ starting to weaken. You can either replace the laser lens in the disc drive, try to clean it, try the POT tweak or replace the whole disc drive. Keep in mind if you replace the disc drive you will need to swap the PCBs or the drive keys. Hope this helps.

I was pretty disappointed when I couldn't play a 12 year old game on my new macbook either. The best thing to do is go to battle.net, load up the CD key and then load the software onto your mac. The downside is that you will need internet access before playing even if you play single player. That's the way I got around it.

its the lazer or disc

it happed to me to asked a guy on here called rmchegen

The disc maybe scrathed or dirty so it can't be read. Or it might it doesn't supported the disc's data

i have had this problem myself. if the game played normally up to the time you were told the disc could not be read, then take out the disc and clean it off. you would be amazed how easily dust and interfer with the normal disc operation. i hope this helps.
