PS3 Problem

[PhysX]

My borther has one, its about two years old now. It will only play PS1 and PS2 games, but not ps3. Any ideas ?

What does it do?? Errors, etc?

Maybe the lens is dusty ?

Try downloading a demo off Playstation Store, the hardware in the disc drive could be nakard if the game off Playstation Store works.

If it's just one PS3 game, but others work, suspect the disk.

If all (or many) PS3 disks don't work, but you can get it to play a PS3 game off the HDD (like a demo), then suspect the Blu-ray drive.

If PS3 games won't work off the HDD either, then suspect some other kind of issue (probably hardware.)

Hmm, if it looks like this, I might know what the problem is..

Sounds like what I went through with my PS3 BD drive, except mine would have issues loading DVDs at times too.

If it is the drive, then it would probably cost around $150 for Sony to fix it.

The demo "thing" or the demo "thong"?
Don't forget to play the thong song while you are at it.
