Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) Console - Page 5 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

This is a software compatibility issue, it's easily fixed by connecting the PS3 to the internet, logging into your PSN account and running a system update. It will update the software and get you a new encryption key. It's part of the movie's copy protection.

The only way to renew the encryption key is, unfortunately, to connect to the internet. Sorry.

You may have to renew the AACS encryption key to play content such as movies on commercially available BD video software (BD-ROM). If a message indicating that the encryption key needs to be renewed is displayed, update the system software to the latest version. The encryption key will then be automatically renewed.
AACS (Advanced Access Control System) is a copyright-protection technology that is used on Blu-ray Discs. The copyrighted content is protected by setting an encryption key on both the disc and the device used to play the disc.
An AACS encryption key expires in 12 to 18 months and must be renewed. There may also be other times when the key has to be renewed. in the manual

Silly anti priacy stuff. Doesnt even stop the pirates...

You just need to get the update, through it on a usb stick and update your ps3. Here is a link to the update and instructions. Hope it helps.

Good luck, and rate me.

Yes it does have wireless internet. Go to the beginning of the cross bar menu, where system update is. and scroll down, you will see network options.

Some newer blu ray discs require that your system be updated to view the movie. This is due to a security "encryption" set by various movie companies. (they are trying to prevent people from copying their movies).
If your PS3 is connected to the internet this should be done automatically when trying to view the movie.
hope it helps
~good luck!

No, you can't change the region codes. If at all possible I would take it back to the store and slap the salesperson!!!

Failing that, all games are not region coded, so you can play aus games on that machine. It seems the only thing it won't play is some blueray discs.

You have to get that specific region dvd player.
And no u cannot change the regional code.

Search for the regional code on the back of ur dvd cover.. should be though 1 through 6.

ps3's are region free for gaming, However, certain functionality specific to the game title may be disabled and unreliable if your game is not from the same region as your playstation 3 system. the blueray dvd will only play your specific country region film dvd discs.

it could be that your blu-ray lens is dirty (the easiest fix) try cleaning it with disk cleaner... or if u know how opening up ur system and cleaning the lense physically... if that didn't work it could be that ur blu-ray might be dead...

It is a known bug in the game. EA have not announced a patch for the PS3 version, so I cannot say when the bug will be fixed. 
You can attempt to start the game again, but it is likely you will come across the same bug.

You need to call Sony Customer Support, ask to mail in the PS3 for a Check Up Fix. They will send you a box with a form in it. Fill out the form, put it in the box, and put the PS3 with the Cables inside of the box. Within a week, they will send you a PS3 All set back. Make Sure you take out GTA4 and FiFa 08 Out of your PS3 when you mail it. Hope this helped.

how to play dvd+ and - on the PS3 snd how to make it play PS2 games

U need to decrypt your Blu-ray disc. Try this tool(http://www.pavtube.com/blu-ray-ripper/) which can decrypt and rip the m2ts files off from disc. Then u can play the m2ts files on your player. And there is no quality loss during conversion.

Ok then you basically answered your own question. The problem is with your game Fifa 09. You should try to exchange it with another copy which you should be able to do without much of a problem. Just explain to them the situation they have to replace it. Take it back.

PS3 Freezing

If your PS3 is freezing up on games then it can be solved just by stopping the heat. It is not that tough to fix!

Check out this post to see a full solution:

PS3 Freezing On Games

It should only take you 1 hour to fix this.

Hope this helps?

Please check the region code on the BD or DVD. It should match the region code set in the system. Otherwise the disc will not play

Sounds like the GPU might be overheating or the drive lens is slightly off, you will need to get it fixed and if you do not want to have to send it in you can fix it yourself with a good guide.

Or of course you will have to send it in.
