Ps3 I bought my ps3 in japan im living europe and i cant play ps2 games and i cant play dvds now im afraid i wont be able to play ps3 games i buy here in france please help me

hello. maybe the blue laser that play the ps3 games and bluray disc might be broken. if your ps3 plays ps2 games and dvds, then im afraid you have to replace your broken laser of your ps3. you can also try reformatting your drive. hope this helps. goodluck!

Before doing anything else, you should run a lens cleaning disk for dvds through ps3.

Also, im willing to bet it will play ps2 games, since they run on a different format then ps3 ...

If you can read ps2 games, then you dont need to replace the drive unit. If after running the lens cleaner, you still cant play ps3, or ps2 games..

Then you may need to replace the drive unit

if your ps2 is not a modded one sorry to tell you but yours is a pal ps2 (means you live somewhere in asia europe)so there is some difference i the american ps2 disc(ntsc) and pal ps2 disc both are designed to play in specific consoles so if you bought they console from ntsc territory(japan ,north america) it should work for sure but sometimes in japan and all they sell pals also but there is still chance try returning the cd to the shop and buy a pal disc or you can mod your ps2 from ps2 technicians (they are all around the world,every console shop has one) and then you can play american disc this is the only chance it will only take a small 25 bucks from you just mod it and u can play games u burned from your computer and also any pal ,ntsc territory original discs also

laser is geting week, replace system or send in for repair

the only version of the ps3 that can play ps2 games and dvds is the one shipped from manufacter with 80gb hard drive

MINE IS TWO YEARS ALSO MODERATELY USED AND IT QUIT PLAYING ANYTHING BLUE RAY..GAME DVDS...BUT NOW I CAN PLAY REGULAR DVDS AND PS2 GAMES THAT ARE NOT BLUE RAY..IM JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THE LASER IS OUT?CAUSE YOU CAN BUY THEM OF FEE-BAY FOR ABOUT 70.00..

40 gig that i understand cant ply ps2 games only 60-80 can.

Good afternoon I bought a PS2 for my son that lives in india. what to do to unlock PS2. so that him it can be used in india. At once I thank. rajnish

The pal ps2 games and dvds will not play on a Japanese ps3 due to region coding. You can play all ps3 games and blu ray films because they do not use region coding. Some games will also play differently on a ps3, for example, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune (I highly recommend the game) will not have any blood on a Japanese ps3. The region coding feature can not be changed/modified. I would recommend returning Japanese ps3 and purchasing a European model instead if that is possible. Bon chance.

ps2 discs are region locked ps3 games are not so are some dvds the are region locked if you seriously want to play the ps2 games buy them from japan
