20 Most Recent Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) Console - Page 3 Questions & Answers

I would start with a firmware update (2.60) and also a full system restore. That should fix the problem. Let me know. I'm a PS3 expert!

Well if the regular dvd's dont work.. I would recommend you to buy Blu-Ray movies instead.. PS3 is the best known blu-ray player. buy at least one blu-ray movie and try that.

The problem is all in the settings. You probably have a 1080i television that cannot display in 1080p. To fix this go to the main menu and go to:

Settings:

Video Settings

Then Blu Ray Disc and make it turn the Display BD in 1080p 24hz or whatever. Once you do that, start the Blu Ray Disc again, and you should be able to watch it. This all happened because your tv doesn't display 1080p.

Hope this helps!

I think you can try to use Leawo Blu-ray Ripper.

Leawo Blu-ray Ripper is an all-inclusive tool for handling both Blu-ray and DVD discs. The ability to decrypt Blu-ray disc with MKB level ranged from 0 - 23 and with AACS and BD+ protection has made it the strongest ever to rip Blu-ray videos.

You can try clear your movie data from the discs you\'ve played (according to Fox that\'s sometimes the culprit when a disc won\'t even load): restart your PS3 and go to the video menu and scroll up to the BluRay Data section. Go into it and check that it has saved some info for your movies. Now deleted all the data in this folder except the shared data crap, and hopefully your movies start perfectly!! If that fails try the following:In the XMB(menus) go to Settings ---> BD/DVD Settings ---> BD 1080p 24 Hz Output (HDMI). Turn that off. This has also been known to work.

you will have to crack it open again like you did before, when you have the metal case and the top guide cover off you will see 4 little rollers , two on each side, these guide the disk in. .
(with the console front facing you) in th middle you will see the offending white stopper, DONT TRY AND FORCE IT DOWN !!! this will really bugger it up.
the problem is , the system thinks there is still a disc in there , so were gunna trick it o.k ?
to do this you need the system on. for the sake of your eyes put the round white cup with the magnet in it over the lens,magnet side up.
VERY IMPORTANT !!! do not touch anything other than i say.....zap!
turn it on and touch the sensor to load it up (hold the cover over it to locate it exactly)
in front of the right front roller you will see a white stick poking up that has its own little track it can travel around. gently guide that stick back , you should notice the system starting to read and all the rollers will slide open (you may have to help them a little (touch only the rollers)
when there all back , you system thinks theres a disc in , so press the eject sensor (line it up with the cover again)
watch with joy as the white stopper drops down.
good luck

Hi, Ref common problem with Blu-ray players only playing crank 2 in a small section of the screen. It seems the film needs extra buffer memory on your player. If you have a card reader slot, ie USB or SD, put in a blank card and the film plays fine. I have Panasonic DMP-BD35 which has a SD slot on the front, i used a 32MB card and the film played with no problems. Hope this info helps.
Regards. Rob.

As of now, there is no way to make bluray movies region free. Games, however, are region free so you can get any PS3 games and they will work on your system.
Cheers!

No applicable update data was found connect storage media that contains update data of version 3.40 or later, and then press the start and select button at the same time

You most likely have the updated drivers. You may have to go and change a setting. I found an answer on the PS3 website that may be of some use to you. I hope this helps you: http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3&message.id=1662191 From the site: "go to bd/dvd setting and set the "108024hz" option off"

hi i purchased a plAystation 3b with a warranty i need a receip number

Try a Blue Ray lense cleaner dont where to get

that happend to my ps3 you have to get a new won

You need to format your PS. Found under system settings on the main menu

Try setting your resolution to 480i/p and see if you can play one then.
I've also heard of turning off dvd upscaling, although your ps3 should be able to upscale your dvds.

try connecting your ps3 to aonther tv via hdmi, if it does not work then the hdmi port of your ps3 has a problem.

Hi, It sounds like there's an error with the laser that reads blu ray media as PS3 games and blu ray movies are both stored on blu ray disks which is read by a different type of laser then a dvd is read by. There's nothing you could do to fix that on your own, the only fix I've heard of is sending it in to Sony.

it has to do with the output settings, the playstation 3 has many, many settings. just have to search around and make sure everything is on the correct setting.

to any future people with this problem disable 1080i from supported resolutions check 720 P and 1080P only, ps3 doesnt have good 1080i support
good luck

Still same FREAKING problem, get of you azz EA and fix the game of give my money back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
