My PS3 shuts down only on PS3 games

My PS3 shuts down after about 5 minutes when playing PS3 games. It will play PS2 games, DVDs, and Blue ray movies for hours with no problem though. I took it to game stop, and after a month they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it and gave it back unfixed. Anyone have any ideas here?

The first thing I would do is a System Update!!!!!! This happened to me playing Army of Two until I Updated it. With games and Some Blu-Rays (Iron Man I had the same problem) require updates to play and function properly! Just hook up to your Network (Router or Modem) Create a Playstaion store account (To the Right on the PS3 Crossbar) Then go to the 2nd to left on the Crossbar, Then all the way up. Grab the update and you should be Good! This happened Twice to me, So now I always update and No probs! Good Luck!

My ps3 will not play any ps3 games at all

If it won't play blu rays either it'll mean your blu ray laser is gone (inside the ps3 there is one for blu rays and one for dvds cds etc)

Talk to Sony about it

Blu ray not playing on ps3

Could be an overheating issue.. Is there enough air circulation around the unit? Is it possibly dusty? try and perform minor servicing (use a can of compressed air incase if there's dust causing problems)

Does this happen on regular dvd's ?

American DVDs unable to play for my PS3

At this time the region lock on ps3 only includes DVD and ps1-2 titles. Although some games will have the 80028F10 error. Most ps3 and blue ray will play without problems, my only suggestion being that if you are in the US, make sure you get a US ps3.

hope this helps.
