ur a fuckin idiot. just cause urs works fine doesnt mean everyones does. some of us had to do the update in order to play our $60 game or $30 movie. It definitly is sonys fault and is not self inflicted. To all you idiots whos system hasnt failed YET, and think we self inflicted this and need a wambulance, i hope ur shit crashes so u know what it feels like when u ask for help and someone tries to make u feel like a dumbass.

I was playing COD MW2 for a while today, then turned the ps3 off and turned it on again to play, but now no game disks read. After searching forums, I came across the following solution:

1. Power on PS3
2. Insert Disk (PS3 Game)
3. Launch a demo or game loaded on the hard drive
4. Once game has loaded, press the PS button and quit game
5. Icon will now show up

Hope this holds, but this allows me to play ps3 games off a disk now; although, I have to do this every time I turn the PS3 on…

i have the old playstation 3. 3.0 worked completey fine but after reading this i am not sure if i should install 3.1, but it sounds like only some of the newer games seem affected. maybe this is because the power deand from the games are too great if you have packed your ps3 full of movies and music. taking up a fair amount of gig from your ps3. i am probably wrong i just thought i noticed a pattern. also. last time they brought out a “slim” console was the ps2 one. ad about a year to a year and a half after that the ps3 came out. maybe sony are pushing people to buy the slim so they can get the maximum profit out of the ps3 before the playstation 4 comes out…

I completely agree with ” Dylan Edwards ”
I agree it’s sony fault. I have a ps3 slim and it works fine with 3.01
but My brother in law has a phat ps3, we install the 3.01 update. the
ps3 will not read any ps3 games at all. for some reason, it reads
ps2 games. Same happen to my brother as well, which he also has a phat ps3. Not sure, but I think the 3.01 firmware is commanding the ps3 blu ray drive to not work on the older version. maybe the 3.01 firmware has something that older version of the ps3 can’t handle.

hope sont will try to help. if not, I really think they are pushing people to buy a PS3 Slim.

I finally updated mine, and mine seems to work just fine.

I think it all depends on what KIND if PS3 you have. I have the first edition PS3(I got the PS3 the first day it came out). People with newer PS3s, however, seem to be having this problem.

There is NO doubt that it is Sony’s fault. I mean, over 5000 people having the same error AT THE SAME TIME? That is NOT a coincidence, and I’m pretty sure over 5000 people didn’t self-inflict it. What’s worse is that they are CHARGING to fix it. I smell big buisness.

As per the update being optional: It is unless you want to get online. You MUST upgrade to 3.01 to get on the internet with a PS3. So pretty much, it boils down to this:

If you have a newer PS3, you have a choice:
1. Update in order to get online, then have no games/DVDs work.
2. Wait for Sony to admit that they made an error and for them to fix it FREE OF CHARGE.

Again, people with a First
