    My PS3 will read movies but will not read games. Any solutions? Thanks

  • Pitbullist Nov 22, 2007

    PS3 recognizes and reads Cds, DVDs, PS2 games, etc. But not PS3 games or Blu-ray movies... Could it have something to do with the firmware or is it only hardware issues (Blu-ray lense)?

  • zuno21 Dec 13, 2007

    I was playing Call of Duty on late night until the game just stopped (screen turned black). Because it was late, I simply shut it off. Since then, the ps3 will not play/read/recognize any ps3 games. However, it plays movies, demos, and ps2 game, but NOT ps3 games.

    I restored the ps3 to it's original state, but still no progress. I purchased my ps3 less than 2 months ago.

    I was watching a Blu ray movie which froze on screen repeatedly. Since this it no longer recognises game discs. It does however recognise blu-ray film discs!! Grrrr!



    Going to return it to retailer (not Sony) as my contract is with them.

    my Ps3 wont play anything ,I got it two months ago any solutions would be great

  • jrl93 Feb 18, 2008

    My PS3 console recently stopped recognizing ps3 game discs.


    The blue light on the console seems to recognize a disc but the icon does not appear on the screen.


    PS2 games and dvd's work fine.


    Using software V. 1.94

  • Anonymous Mar 18, 2008

    This same situation happened to me. The first time I returned the system. Solution is easy. Hold down the on/off button (blue/green light) on the right front of the console for about 10 secs until it beeps. This will reset the the system but will keep all of your network selections in tact. Nothing on your hard disk will be changed. You may need to answer some resolution questions, but that is the fix.

MOst of the probs I have seen have been after one of the new version upgrades mine crahed IMMEDIATELY after uploading the updates from Assassins Creed. I have heard tons about this happening immediately after updating w/ other versions. So I will beware when I have to update in the future.

Its a problem with the latest download update. sorry to say but its a job for sony as long as its still under warranty. just phone them up explain the probs your having and they will send you a new (normally reconditioned) unit out. sony's replacement service is very good.

There is a fault with the laser unit in the PS3. This is similar to the PS2 DRE problems and usually replacing the laser fixes it.

My ps3 console not reading disc

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.

Ps3 disk reading error

Can you be any more specific? is this a problem with one disk, one type of disk or all disks? What is the exact error you are getting? Are you trying to play a game, play a film, play an audio CD or are you using your PS3 as a Linux computer and trying to open a data disk? have you tried more than one disk? Without specifics there's just no way to guess what the problem is.
