Ps3 wont play games but will play dvd - Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) Console

If your PS3 has 4 USB ports in it, it will be able to play old PS2 DVD games. The newer versions only have 2 USB ports and have the DVD-playing option taken out.

This can be caused by a dirty laser in the drive. Try cleaning the laser with a q-tip and alcohol. If this does not fix the problem, the laser may need to be replaced. Contact Sony and see if the unit is still under warranty.

Please check the region code on the BD or DVD. It should match the region code set in the system. Otherwise the disc will not play

jjj

the ps3 does have region coding regards to playing DVDs and there are no hacks for the same..

This Happen 2 me The Only Solution i got is Ring Sony Moan at em sayin my ps3 wont play games jus keep doin it nd they will send u a new ps3 for ur ps3

You seem to have alot of problems with your console.

r ur ps2 cd's original or copies coz the ps3 doesn't play copies
abd check ur dvd if it's PAL or NTSC and then check ur ps3 for the same thing
if the ps3 is PAL it only plays PAL dvd's and vice versa

I left all ready some important help about this issue.
I do believe you have a faulty laser since ps3 have 2 diode laser on the same mechanic and each one is independent for loading your disk.You can read dvd movie but no blue ray disk or Ps3 game or vice versa.
If you have few minutes look on my other suggestion
