HELP!!!! my PS3 isn't reading blu-rays

i just turned it on and started playing COD4 online, after no more than 10 minutes the console completly froze. i restarted it and it didnt read the game disk, it was like i didnt insert it. the blue light was on, but the game wasnt working. i tried all my other games and they didnt work either. i checked if a system update was needed but i had the latest one. i put in a DVD movie and it worked.

why won't it work? please help guys...

this sucks...its not even a month since i got it.

i went to the local sony distributer and they said i have to take it to their service center and they will fix it if its a minor problem or replace it if its hardware malfunction.

well the ps3 is the cheapist blu ray player out what do you expect???

the ps3 has to have the worst blu ray drive out otherwise sony wouldnt be able to sell it for so cheap.as long as they replace it i dont care. my ps3 never stops freezing its the worst games console i have ever had when it comes to performance

then why is the ps3 so cheap compared to so many other blu ray players?

the ps3 has a blu ray drive a hdd and it can play games and has many other features all for $400??

im not saying the ps3 sucks i own 1 and i think its good but the hardware cant be as good as everyone thinks, so many ps3s are breaking because of faulty blu ray drives.....i will admit im wrong if you have a reason why the blu ray drives stop reading discs

The blu ray player in the PS3 is believe it or not, the best one because you can easily update it. The reason why it is so cheap is because Sony desperately wants the Blu ray format to win because there is A LOT of money to be made with it and guess what, they succeeded. They were losing money big time initially selling it for so cheap but it ended up paying off and they are starting to see the profit.

Just because SOME ps3's have faulty drives does not mean it's a piece of crap. Not all products are perfect and some of them WILL be defective but it doesn't mean all of them are. I have had my PS3 since October and have had no problems whatsoever.

wha?

all Blu ray players connect to the internet just like the PS3.

Hmm also to the person who said 1-2 weeks? My PS3 broke (UK here btw) and i had a new one sent to my door in 3 days. It could have been 2, but no one was in to pick it up. So i had to wait 3.

You can't update firmware on stand alone blu ray players.

i just turned it on and started playing COD4 online, after no more than 10 minutes the console completly froze. i restarted it and it didnt read the game disk, it was like i didnt insert it. the blue light was on, but the game wasnt working. i tried all my other games and they didnt work either. i checked if a system update was needed but i had the latest one. i put in a DVD movie and it worked.

why won't it work? please help guys...

Dunno, mine is perfect, I'm even wondering why I got the warranty :S. If you took it too, it's the time to use it, it not, send it to sony... sorry.

i took it to the sony service center today without the warrenty card, recipte, bank transfer statement, and even the price sticker was torn off. i told then that i bought it from the local sony distributer so the lady just entered the serial number on the PS3 into the computer, printed out a piece of paper and handed it to me and said "2 weeks"

i hope they get it sooner...i cant wait 2 weeks

And I had a 60GB european one at launch and no problems since, except those freezes that I got couple of times

Yep, this happened to mine too. I used it as an excuse to upgrade to a slim. So I still have a broken PS3 in my closet, I should probably sell that thing on Ebay. (Yes, people buy broken consoles on Ebay, so there's nothing deceptive about it.)

you have just come across the ps3s version of the rrod. its a huge problem loads of people are getting it but sony will fix it. the days of the ps3 having a0.5% fail rate is over. if it happens to me im gonna go madd_ano

yeah its your drive, atleast yours is under warrenty unlike mine...:(
