Hey, update on my broken ps3. i rang sony and told them bout the situation, they were really good about it and r sending me a new ps3 console. i think they r about to get swamped with ps3s who have been updated with this unpdate! LOL even with this dilemma, i would still much much rather a playstation than an xbox. and how sony handled the problem, i was very much impressed!

We should all go and take our frustration to the BBC Watchdog as this was clearly an issue which Sony must have seen let alone known about but again Sony has let down US as loyal Sony fans which should have taken the X-Box instead guys

It is due from the latest system upgrade 2.30 it allows the blue ray to speed up faster then it should and frying the laser if you call Sony and let them they will cover it under warranty and there even extending the 1yr warranty for those who bought the console in 2006 and early 2007 due to this malfunction

PS3 stopped reading PS3 games

This is most likely do to a previous freeze up while on the PS3. All you have to do is to first disconnect all of the plugs and wires. Then you put them back in and turn on the PS3. It should read your PS3 game discs.

PS3 doesn't recognize Games or Blue-Ray Movies

Laser needs to be replaced. 95% of the time.

You can try: updating firmware
restoring system, and cleaning the laser lens with a q-tip

It almost never works, but you can try.

My ps3 wont play blue ray discs or my games anymore

if your ps3 doesnt play ANY games or dvds, that may mean that the eye on the ps3(the thing that reads the disks and dvds) is malfunctioning, not moving efficiently enough to procces the disk, not recognizing the encrypted code on the disks, or the optical eye could even be scratched. the disk feed could also not be feeding the disk in far enough for the eye to read it. i would definitly suggest calling customer service and/or bringing the ps3 to an A+ certified technition to "diagnose" your problem.

Ps3 not reading any disks

Normally ps1-ps2-ps3 has Red laser beam lens system. So it cannot read Blue ray disks. its not possible until you change it lens system. there are some commericially available Blue laser lens system. Buy one and fix it with authorised service personnel. all the best
