When i first got a blu ray movie it wouldn't even load but since i stoppped the ps3 from loading dvd's as soon as i put them in, i haven't had a problem when any of my blu ray's it works perfectley

I bought the 80 Gb end of Septembre. Was perfect at the begining (movie+game). But less and less able to read BD until no more at all => back to Sony...

I've got the same issue 1st 3 times I tried to play BR disc. Can anyone resolve this issue. Have the latest firmwear & nothing. It plays for like 5 miinutes then it stops try to play again same thing.

My 15 month old PS3 stopped reading blurays a few days ago. So far, sony refuses to address this issue without "Charging" me a minimum of $150.

Please email me at napabulldog@yahoo.com if you are having a similar issue. It may be time for Sony to own up to their faulty PS3 units that many of us are stuck with!

the same thing for me. wont play blu rays or games. even went and bought a blu ray cleaner... still nothing.

Ever since I updated my PS3 to the 2.70 firmware
my Bluray films & game discs wont load

DVD's load and play as well as CD's

But Blu Ray - no way!

Its 15 months old and out of warranty

waiting on an update :-(
I'll try disabling outrun

no surprise there sony pretty much put the noose around the neck when they decided to use blu-ray in it from the start. blu ray is failing, it will be dead soon and with it the ps3. sony are losing billions from the ps3 are in last place in sales as well as the psp (which never even gets mentioned or advertised here.) Sony made a big mistake this gen and now their paying for it literately.

Just got the latest 120gb ps3 slim and plays games fine , but plays Blu-Ray movies ridiculously loud ??? anyone same problems??

ughh...mine's doing the same.
It started doing it right around the time i did a software update. Does anyone know if Sony is releasing a patch to remedy this issue? Or am I going to have to pay them to fix it, or get a new ps3?

I too have similar situation. I bought ps3 80GB and it worked fantastic for games and blu ray movie. once I uploaded pics from my camera phone through USB and since then problem started. I wonder why? The problem is when I wanted to view a blu ray movie, I inserted blue ray movie disc "Quantum of solace" and that's it... it does nothing... the screen just goes black.

Earlier to pics upload, the same blu ray disc was able to play in my ps3. I tried every possible and known methods to me, no luck yet. Can any one help me to figure this out?????

Iv got the same no blue ray game or film loading, but DVD and cd working fine. Iv reset the entire system and still the same error iv also held the eject button to make the fan spin faster and blow the dust out. My friend got the console the same time as me this will be 2 years this December he had this error early on, only 5 months in. He called them and he was advised there was a bad batch with this error iv not investigated properly as he was within warrenty period.iv not contacted Sony yet but I did get mine with him but only had this problem 2 years down the line so gunna see what they say then post more kungfumorgan@hotmail.com
