I was playing john woo's strangllehold. i had just died and was about to restart the level but the game took a long time loading , it never restarted. i turned the console off and truned it back on it i could noy get pass the menu page. usually when i put a game in it automatcally starts so i dont know wsup.
Hold down eject button of 12-15 sec to reset drive. worked for me
For me it happed after i installed the game content of "Dynasty Warriors
6: Empires and added the online content, after a reboot with with those
installed it stopped working.
What causing this is still a mystery for me, might be Software issues or old hardware.
This Worked for me:
(Got my save games backed up on a Memory-stick.)
1. Restore PS3 system.
2. Reboot when done with the Restore.
3. press and hold the Eject in 12-15 sec (with no dicks in it.)
4. Reboot again. (its important)
5. Insert game
6. play
This happened to my cousin ps3 60 gig. if you want to play a ps3 game you must first start a demo on the ps3 and when it loads press the home button and under game you should see your ps3 game start your ps3 game to play it.
Well u can go to settings then system setting then go 2 restore ps3 then read do wat it tells u 2 do then go back to restore ps3 settings and go 2 yes it will say quick format or full format go 2 full format
caution:going 2 any of these will delete everything but th downloads you have on ur psn account so disable the psn acc first
Just had same issue, played blue ray's and ps2 games but not ps3 games. Re-formating the hdd did not fix the problem. Held down the eject button as indicated above for 15sec and fixed the problem!!!
You have to reset the hardware.. go to settings and click reset format ... it sucks because everything on your system has to get deleted but the game will work after
The problem could be the laser that reads the discs.. mine has the same problem. i insert the discs wether it be blu ray, ps3, or a dvd and the ps3 just reads the discs constantly... doesnt play them or even recognize what they are.
There is no way to fix this problem or any problem for the PS3. The only thing you can do is call sony, pull your pants down, and pray that they use K-Y as they RAPE you. $150.00 to be exact!
This happened to us also. I couldn't even turn off the PS3 the right way. What I did was push and hold the power button until i got three beeps, the PS3 told me to connect my controller to the unit and press the ps button. After which, there was a menu.
1. Restart
2. Restore Default Settings
3. Restore Files (or something along that lines)
4. (something.. can't remember reformat?)
5. ?
6. ?
I pretty much just went in order. I started with the 1st thing and got to the 3rd. It then told me that my harddrive was corrupt and it fixed it and started loading after that.
The problem I'm having NOW is that I can't get it to play the downloaded games we bought. I don't want to buy them again... Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Welll My games won't play at all. Like I have black ops and when it is inserted inside my ps3 it won't even show up on the main screen. It then makes a noise like it wants to come out but it then goes back in. I usually just keep taking it out and putting it in. Lol.. anyways.. After about an hour and 30 mins it finally works. Are there any solutionsssssss?
I have a similar problem. - system reset does not fix it - already has the latest firmware - disk format did not fix the problem If it is out of warrenty (mine was) its a flat $150 from Sony to fix it. Lots of folks suggest software fixes but there is at least a class of these issues that is clearly hardware.

It just happened to me as well today but all i cant find about how to fix the problem is to take it back to the shop and get a new one-i know its not really a "how to fix it" but unless you want to break it open and have a go cutting wires id just return it for a new one and hopefully the shop wont charge.
Try to do a system reset. It's in the ps3 menu under system.
No i had this problem just a min ago but all u need 2 do is a system update
so don't change ur ps3 or reset it just do the latest system update
Power cord fell out while games was on pause. Now my ps3 wont play any games. WTF. SONY WARRANTY BETTER GIVE IN.
This is such ********. I'm just glad I only paid 350 for it instead of 500 or 600 bucks. Fuckin Sony can kiss my ***! I sure hope the guys at Ebay that sold this to me aren't a bunch of scam artists. It was used, after all.
If you still have the recipt return it
If it will not read a game that you download do a system reset the games will download.I did that today because my downloaded games would not work they will work then.
Well, i just had the same exact problem, my ps3 wouldnt load any of my games, so i called the ps3 operators and was gonna send it in. i started to play a game i downloaded off the psn... after A qhile i went to go quit the game, and noticed that the disc that was in was on the ps screen. so i clicked it to plY, IT WORKED. so im not sure if it would work fer u.. but if u hav a downloaded game, play it, go to the ps screen and click the disc.. its inconvenent but it works out for people whoi cant find their recet....

Purchased Bejing Olymics and had to upgrade to system software version 2.30 before it would allow me to play the game. Played it for a while then began playing gta4 again. Played that for a while too. Then all of a sudden everytime I try to play any game, it doesn't load - i just get the menu screen. I have since downloaded system software version 2.41 and have restored ps3 system (4 hours) and i still have the same problem.

Ive had my PS3 (60 GIG) lil over a year now. Everything else on my console works but , it WILL NOT play any games. The only Game that works without freezing is Gran Turismo 5 prolouge. The only thing i suggest is sending it back to Sony for 169.00 which i will not do.
Ok, me consoile play CD's, DVD's, PS and PS2 games. But WILL NOT play a single ps3 game! I've tried everything from Simnpsons to Smackdown to Fifa 09 and not a single one of them will load what-so-ever!
Any suggestions???
same
I had a problem where i was playing DMC4 and then after i turned it off to take a break, then came back, the **** won' t load. (well, after a few tries.) Not only that game, but any PS3 or blue Ray dvd. Ps2 is okay. (Obviously) This happened a while back, and its just getting more complicated.
WHY?!?!?!
i have new game called orochi warriors 3 and it won't let me even get started it tells me that it won't or cannot play this game at the current video output setting (80028F10)
this is the same with mine, i go to play Bo2 and it wont load
6 and a half hours to go on the full system restore. this better work or the systems goin out the window and I'm buying an xbox. tried all the other fixes I could find online and no luck so this is the last shot.
