My ps3 wont read ps3 games only ps2 games

Before doing anything else, you should run a lens cleaning disk for dvds through ps3.

Also, im willing to bet it will play ps2 games, since they run on a different format then ps3 ...

If you can read ps2 games, then you dont need to replace the drive unit. If after running the lens cleaner, you still cant play ps3, or ps2 games..

Then you may need to replace the drive unit

sounds like a dead Laser they are a dual laser will read DVDs n CDs but wont read Blueray movies or PS3 games

Playstation 3s cannot read Playstation 2 games, only Playstation 1. I know, it sucks. Hope I helped!

its because your lens kit are defect search on google for replacement lens ist about 80$ usd its not really hard to replace but verify that your warranty is over before lol

ok right so your ps3 wont read disks huh well first of all id like to say this has happened to me twice and it has worked perfectly for me and i quarentee it will work for you ...

first save all your data to a memory stick

secondly go to settings, system settings, and format your ps3 by clicking on full format this will delete all your filles :( but will refresh your ps3


BTW this formatting thing will take atleast 4 hours so just leave your ps3 on and chill out watch t.v or something :)

hope this helps

if its the new 80gig you cant do that only if it is one of the 80gig ps3 that were the 1st ones to come out 

your ps3 just died sry my fried got the same prob hear you need to call sony and tell them your prob they will tell u what to do trust me just call them

The issue is the laser (actually has different diodes for blu ray, ps2 format and regular DVD.
Seems like in your case the only one that is burnt is the blu ray.
Send it back to Sony for repairs or if you do not have warranty purchase a replacement lens and install it yourself.

beacause its not program to the ps3 the ps2 disc try ps3 disc

ps2 discs are region locked ps3 games are not so are some dvds the are region locked if you seriously want to play the ps2 games buy them from japan
