The playstation 3 game format is in Blu-ray... but also a special format of Blu-ray to keep people from making illegal copies of the disc. Also the disc is formatted in a way that a PC will not recognize the disc unless the drive has been modified illegally. A standard DVD drive will not recognize a Blu-Ray disc.
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.
To clean a
disc, use lint-free cleaning cloths made specifically for cleaning
discs, sold at computer software stores. When cleaning the disc, we
recommend starting from the innermost circle, and wiping out to the
edge in a straight line. We do not recommend wiping in a circular
motion, as it may create more scratches on the disc.
Note:
Other materials, such as a paper towel or a T-shirt, may also scratch
the disc. If there are any scratches, smudges, or fingerprints on the
disc, it may not function properly. Also, do not use or insert any
CD/DVD drive cleaners into the PLAYSTATION 3 as doing so may cause
damage to the system.
Try a different disc
Try
playing different Blu-ray Discs, DVDs, or CDs on the PLAYSTATION 3
console to see if the problem exists across multiple discs.
Try a different PLAYSTATION®3
To
determine if the problem is with the disc itself, try playing the disc
on a different PLAYSTATION®3 system, (or a PlayStation®2 computer
entertainment system, PS one™ console, or a standalone CD/DVD player,
if applicable).
Confirm that you are not using any game modification devices
Unlicensed
devices such as game modification devices can interfere with the proper
function of the software. We do not recommend the use of any game
modification devices or unlicensed products.
Note:
Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) recommends only using
products that are licensed for use with PlayStation� products. If the
product you are using is neither made by, nor licensed by, SCEA for use
on the PS3 system, we recommend you discontinue the use of that
product. Please keep in mind products that fail to meet or exceed
SCEA's strict quality standards can cause damage to the PS3 system
immediately, or with prolonged use. SCEA is not responsible for damages
caused by untested, unlicensed products, and any remaining Limited
SonyWarranty on the product will be considered void. It is the
responsibility of the company that manufactured the unlicensed product
to accommodate you, should their product cause damage to an SCEA
product.
Turn off the BD 1080p 24Hz Output(HDMI) option
f
the Blu-ray Disc� does not support 1080p 24Hz video mode, the video
output may not display properly. Go to [BD 1080p 24Hz Output(HDMI)]
under Settings icon (Settings) > [BD/DVD Settings] and select "Off".
Confirm that the disc you want to play is supported by the PS3™ system
Macrovision Information (for DVD copyright protection)
If
the PLAYSTATION 3 is connected to the television through a VCR, you may
not be able to view DVD movies. This is because of the copyright
protection coding that has been programmed into the discs by the DVD
manufacturers. If the PS3 system is installed directly to a VCR or
TV/VCR combo, please try connecting the PS3 system directly to the TV's
video/audio inputs for DVD movie playback.
HDCP Compliancy (for Blu-ray Disc with video content)
If
using HDMI cables, confirm whether the disc you are trying to play has
High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) built in. If so,
confirm that the TV or display you are using is also HDCP compliant.
Copyright-protected Blu-ray video discs can only be output at 1080p
using an HDMI cable connected to a device that is compatible with the
HDCP standard.
Advanced Access Content System (AACS) for Blu-ray Disc content
Blu-ray
Disc uses the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) for audio/video
content protection. If the Blu-ray Disc does not play, you may need to
update your PLAYSTATION 3 to the latest system software to ensure the latest AACS keys have been updated.
To learn more about AACS, visit our Consumer Alerts page on AACS.
If the PLAYSTATION 3 does not recognize the disc:to Site
Remove the disc and reinsert it.
If the disc has a label, insert it with the label side up.
Check whether the disc is scratched or dirty. If dirty, wipe it gently with a soft cloth.
Make
sure the disc has not been exposed to high temperatures, high humidity
or direct sunlight. When discs will not be used for an extended period
of time, store them in their cases. Stacking uncased discs or storing
them at an angle can cause them to warp.
DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW discs that have not been finalized cannot be played.
When
outputting DVD content or PLAYSTATION 3 format software in SD
resolution, only discs recorded in the NTSC standard can be played.
