This is actually a very difficult question to answer, because the only people who know for CERTAIN as to whether or not a disc can be damaged inside the PS3 are those that know ALL of the following:
1. Whether the clamp that holds the disc steady while the spindle spins it touches any part of the disc that holds data
2. Whether the clamp can actually cause any physical damage to the disc at all, to begin with
3. Whether or not the material that blu-ray discs are coated with is actually completely scratch-proof to anything that might happen inside the console
4. Whether or not any kind of external movement could cause any kind of "rubbing" of the disc against the clamp and whether or not this would even do any damage at all
The great irony here is that there is no viable way to "observe" the disc as it spins inside the blu-ray drive or when it is at rest
