If i put in a game disc it doesnt read it at all... And wen i try to play a downloaded game the playstation 3 sign comes up and then it goes to a black screen. And also for some odd reason my ps3 controller wont sync with my ps3 either... What should i do to solve this problem?

PS3 will not play blue RayWell after a year of research It has been discovered that there is a problem with the design some may even say that Sony has designed this player to fail after so many hours of use.It is odd that everyone who calls for help from Sony with units that cannot Play blue ray get the same answer 200.00 bucks please, The guy even was bold enough to say he knew what it was and could fix it 200.00 PLEASE It is a major issue and Sony is well aware of the failure Because it was part of there game all along .I have over 1000.00 in blue ray movies and you can bet I will not be replacing this machine or buying any more Sony product. I am going to try and set up a class action suit and show that Sony all along manipulated the public and is manipulating us to this day with there PS3 players!!!!!!! and products that have built in soft ware to fail at certain times or events. How do I know you ask .........work for Sony:)

You have an array of problems over there. You need more help than I can give you here:

For the disc's that aren't reading:

This is the 2nd most common problem with PS3's. This isn't a bad problem. Your laser/lens will need to be replaced. Do you see the time clock in the top right corner going around and around? If so, you are just having laser/lens problems. If you do not see the time icon spinning when you insert a disc, your PS3's Blu Ray drive controller board has gone bad and you will need to send it to Sony and not a

3rd party technician. Certain problems are only repairable by Sony. Good luck.There are many videos on youtube if you would like to do it yourself (I would advise you not to). I recommend that you find a technician who has experience. There are many things that can go wrong.

The downloaded games not playing and returning to the PS3 sign - I blame your hard drive. If you decide to change it:

When you replace your hard drive, you will need to have the latest firmware on a

usb stick. Download the firmware from the playstation official website onto a usb

stick. Once prompted by your system you will need to insert the usb stick into the

PS3. Good luck..

You will need 2.5" Sata Hard Drive.

For the controller:

There is a little pin sized hole on the back of the controller. Find a safety pin (or similar) and press and hold this button for a few seconds. Plug the usb cable back into the controller and to the system and this should solve your syncing problem. If not, then you are facing a sever motherboard meltdown..

Every playstation 3 will eventually die and become totally unresponsive, even after repair(s)

Good luck.
