Well after work I was excited to watch my newly purchased copy of Star Trek on blu ray. Too bad my PS 3 won't read blu ray discs (movies or PS3 games) anymore.
Here's what happened:
Got Star Trek, put it in, some error msg comes up "failure to read disk" etc
Thought it was a fluke, took it back to Wally World. Exchanged for another...
Put that one in - took a while, but loaded up. Started to play, within 2 minutes it skipped ahead a few seconds, then skipped ahead a minute or two, then just froze lol
Ok, now I'm thinking, what the deuce?!?
So I put in the movie UP! (which my wife successfully watched a week ago). The PS3 doesn't even recognize the disc. Ok dokie, so I toss in Grand Tourismo 5 - NOTHING, zip, zilch, nada! Auto play on or off, doesn't matter, no disc.
Ok, I put a DVD in: boom, there it is, plays right away.
ARGGGH!
Apparently PS3's have one laser for BD-ROM and one for DVD's.... I'm guessing the BD one died and so now I sent a rqst for service and its under the 1 year warranty (hope I can find the receipt.)
Wish me luck!
