80GB PS3 without BC owners question

Hey i would like to know if what i have notice is normal. After my console have been in stand-by for at least like an hour when i turn it on the disc don't enter right away and easily, after this first try i can eject and enter another disc very easily without problem. And by the way it does read the games and movies. Is there something swrong with my console?

That sounds weird I actually don't know what too say but deal with it, as long as they play. Normally if you put a disc in a quater of the way it just sucks it up but if you still find this annoying call sony, the thing is I don't think they can help you with that.theMarshell

i don't see a problem... like you said, it's working perfectly. since you left it on for about an hour, maybe it went to standby mode... did you notice the XMB got a bit dim? when that happens again, try moving the XMB first with the controller to reactivate it before the inserting a disc...taplok

That does sound strange... Can you explain what happpens in more detail? How long does it take for the PS3 to accept the CD? Are you trying to insert the CD when the system is in standby mode, or when it's on?SillySkeleton

I don't think there's a problem. If you insert a disc in stand-by mode it does exactly what you are describing, takes a few seconds to fire up and then accepts the disc. If you press power and insert a disc right away, the same thing will happen, as the PS3 is doing it's initial boot up it won't take the disc, after a few seconds it will take the disc and load. If you press power and then take however long to get the game from the case, or do whatever, the PS3 boot sequence will be done and the disc will go in and load right away.

Clear enough?

This is happening only when my console have been turn off for a wile and after this i'm able to insert and eject very fast without problem, i'm inserting the disc after the screen that ask you to choose a user.

that never happens to me, its weird.

I thought I was the only one who did this. But I'm gonna stop doing it from now on, because like what soulreaper-4 said half-way through this thread "it feels as though something is blocking the entrance before allowing the disc to enter."

And like you said earlier in this post touchyourtoes, I assume that when the PS3 initially boots, there's some sort of shutter or mechanism that blocks the disc from loading. I guess you're right, I think Sony would've tested everything to make sure nothing would break.

Thanks for the peace of mind touchyourtoes! Have a Happy Tuesday!
