I am having the same exact issue myself. Starting a month or two ago, it got harder and harder to get PS3 games to play. Now it plays anything that is not blu-ray based. I would be very interested in hearing how you are able to fix the problem.
It's likely to be either overheating or your lead. I am not sure if the system uses a swap file but if it does you'll need to keep some hard drive space free because PS3 have very little memory and rely on their awesome processor for everything.
If your PS3 is not playing games or movies any more then this is quite a simple fix you just need to clean the system you can do this yourself or send it back for repair
hold the power button down when it is red till you hear the quick beeps then select the file restore this is a diagnostics menu..remember you have to hold the power button down till you see a menu that youve probably never seen
It sounds like it needs to be cleaned, just blow some compressed air into the fan area, unless you can actually get it opened, then that would be better.
Hope this helps!
it could be the disk have you tried other ones? if the problem persist it could be your ps3 since its new call them up and get another one free of charge
the PlayStation 3 can read just about any usb memory stick and play can movies from them, since a usb's bandwidth is significantly lower then the ps3 hard drive it's recommend to copy the movie to the ps3's hard drive.
also it matters how the movie was converted. some converted movies wont play on the ps3 no matter what codec your using to encode the movie with.
The best way to play burned movies is to copy them onto a memory stick or external hard drive then copy them onto the ps3 i use this method and find the movies play in much higher quality than dvd-r or+r or whatever discs you use
Open up the PS3 and then open up the Blu-Ray Drive. Then clean the lens with rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol on a q-tip. I heard that lighter fluid on a q-tip works way better than rubbing alcohol and isopropyl alcohol, so try using it on a q-tip to clean the lens. I'm not responsible for any damages to your console.
