Ps3 not playing ps3 games, but will play ps2 games.

Hi, Aleksi.

You have to Update your Ps3 Firmware to fix GTA4 online bugs..

even if you play gta4 offline, the game bugs wont stop..

You have to Update your Ps3 with the latest Firmware from sony!

Regards!

You can't play it because the game is coded only for PS2 - PS3 doesn't supports that because it has a different hardware.

It depends on the specific model of Ps3. go to http://www.tech-faq.com/can-you-play-ps2-games-on-ps3.html for details

If you bought the original PS3 when it first came out and purchased the expensive one with the larger hard drive, it will be able to play *some* PS2 games. If you bought the cheaper one with the smaller hard drive or purchased your PS3 once the prices started dropping, it will have no capabilities of playing PS2 games, as Sony has decided to not continue making the system semi-backwards-compatible.

It may not be your game disk at all so I'd probably give the alcohol, toothpaste and whatever else you've been using a rest.

My first PS2 used to overheat a lot, so what I used to do was unplug the AC adapter (after shutting it off) from the system when I wasn't using it and that seemed to help.

Also, regular cleaning with a good laser cleaning kit helped extend its life but eventually it just burned out after about two years.

If you have a small electric fan that you can direct at your game system while you're playing, that will help the system temperature stay cool enough to play beyond the 20 minute mark.

GTA Vice City is pretty graphic intensive, and I'm guessing that since you have an older machine it may just be taxing your PS2's resources.

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but the good new is that it plays great on PS3.

This is what used to happen to me on my ps3 slim 160 GB when I put the disc in the screen goes black and int he top left corner I have a flashing disc, i updated the system to FW 4.00 and now the game works fine, i was previously running FW 3.73.

The same problem happened to me yesterday, i was playing GTA IV then it suddenly stopped reading, and now i have a real hard time making one ps3 game work...the ps2 and psONE games work fine, but the ps3 ones dont load or take real hard work to make them load.

Is it a problem from a patch or a virus probably?

i believe it is a hardware problem as well atlest thats what it sounds like from what you sayed try contacting Sony and attempting to get a replacement on warranty at
