Hey Guys!
I bought myself the new Scarface blu ray steelbook edition and wanted to watch it today.
And in the middle of the film the movie freezed.
Not only that, but the whole controls freezed too.
The only thing i could do, was to close the movie and go back to the xmb.
I checked the disc and there is no scratch i can find.
there is nothing wrong with the cd.
When i start the movie another time, it starts to freeze and the exact same time, everytime!

What is wrong with my ps3?

Thank you in advance!
 
Just cause their is no scratch on the disc does not mean a bad disc.

Does it not seem odd that it freezes on the same spot all the time?

How big is this movie?(you can put it into a PC/Laptop with a Bluray drive to find out)

What time does it freeze at.
If it is not the disc it could be that the laser is having issues refocusing for the 2nd layer(if the disc has one)
 
i checked the disc. i played it without any problems on my laptop.
it must be my playstation. and that sucks. my ps1 and ps2 work just fine and my 400 euro gaming machine doesnt even last 3 years. and i barely played with it.
 
Then I would assume it is the laser not focusing during the layer change(if it is over 25GB)

Means absolutely nothing. A guy yesterday bought a $50 000 car from the dealership I work at. Today he came back because the engine wasn't starting all the time.

Anything can go wrong at anytime, you just had some unfortunate luck and I'd think Greyfox knows what he is talking about here although to me it sounds like an issue more with the disc than he ps3. If I were you, to test the 2nd layer reading issue, find another Blu ray that is written the same way (I have no idea which movie) and see if it freezes later on in the movie. If not then you got a bad disc.
