So I was playing through Batman Arkham Asylum the second time and in the middle of playing it froze (and no not during the Scarecrow scene). I tried holding down the power button to shut the system off but it wouldn't work. I was forced to kill the power from the back of the system. I know that's a major no no but what else could I have done? Now my PS3 won't read my Batman Arkham Asylum disc anymore. When I put it in my PS3 I can hear it start spinning and I get the disc loading icon in the upper right corner of the screen. But after a few seconds the disc stops spinning and the disc loading icon goes away and the game is nowhere to be found in the games section of the crossbar. I know this sounds like the blu-ray laser is busted but here's the thing, my PS3 still plays everything else without a problem. Games, blu-ray movies, and DVD movies all still play with no problem. But for the life of me I can't get Arkham Asylum to work. I have tried restoring the default settings and I even did a full system restore but nothing has worked. Does anyone know what is going on here? Could the disc itself have been screwed up by the power kill? I don't have anyone near me with a PS3 so I don't have a way to check the disc on another console. Anybody have any ideas what I could do? Tech Specs: 80GB "big style" PS3 about 18 months old, not under warranty and purchased for me by a Sony employee so I don't have any receipt or warranty stuff. NOTE: I know I have already played through Arkham Asylum and beat it but I am a huge Batman fan and I loved Arkham Asylum so I'd like to try and save it if it's possible.
Wouldn't my game data have been deleted when I did the complete system reformat? I had to reinstall all my other games so I thought that would have deleted all the game data. Could it really be the laser going? This happened to me about 6 months ago and I am just posting this question about it now and all my other games and movies have had zero problems since this happened. Thanks for the post, I appreciate any help about this.
