    okay it was 4 ddays ago and i was play mgs4 and when i tried to go back to the title screen my screen went blue and then i got kicked out of the game then it went back to the general system menu for your game choice menu. i was tired so i just turned it off and went to sleep but when i woke up the next day i put in my mgs4 and i wouldn't read the disc so i tried another then i tried music cds but nothing then i tried dvds but nda. so i asked my friends and they said clean your laser so i did but it did nothing so i saved all my pics and saved data to a flash drive and restored the system but that didn't do anything. do you think my laser is dead or is it a software problem.

If you have problem with loading your disk or some kind of media a most common error is Disk Read Error,or in a short way DRE.
Ps3 Laser is a very precise mechanism and optic and also a well none proble for the all machine right now on the Market.
Sony had the same problem before with PS2 and tried to fix the same issue all ready but without any luck at all.Actually i do believe is Part of the Market Strategy making the laser not to strong so people can buy new laser and keep the techical support alive.Most common error on Ps3 is DRE and some other like power supply Failure or Hd defective.
What is sad actually the fact the laser is Collapsing onthe spot.
On the ps2 you have some time to realize the laser is bad since the machine start not reading well or freezing during the game.On ps3 the laser stop working and that`s it.
I suggest to replace laser or try to clean first because sometimes if you are lucky the laser start working again

Says my mw2 disc is unreadable, it was working just last night and even played games this morning

if you have a ps3, i can't help you. If its a 360, then the console may have recieved some kind of shock while playing, and circle scratched your disc. Its either that or a fairly common hardware failure. Call 18004myxbox. microsoft tech support should help you out.

PS3 WONT PLAY ANYTHING - DISCS NOT RECOGNISED

i have had similar problems as well as multiple friends of mine. to solve this, you must call the playstation company and send your system in to be serviced. if you have purchased it within the last year and have proof, sony will fix it for free. if not, they will charge you $150 for their services. this is the only way to fix the problem
