Two Universal titles no longer working


Hi,

I've had the same slim-type PS3 since May 2011 and it always worked perfectly until a few weeks ago when I felt like watching Fast Times at Ridgemont High... I put the disc in the console, see the Universal loading logo and then... Nothing happens. The screen just remains black forever. I them tried American Graffiti because I remembered that they came out on the same day and exactly the same thing happens, loading screen then nothing.

I then proceeded to try at least ten of my Unversal titles (such as Carlito's Way; The Frighteners; Cape Fear (1991); Cape Fear (1962); Conan the Barbarian (1982)) and they all worked fine so my conclusion was that both discs must be defective so I tried 'em on my friend's old fat PS3 and they worked just fine. I think it's really strange because I've downloaded the most recent software update and every other disc in my collection works fine.

Any suggestions?


Thanks in advance

PS3s don't last forever! Nor does a standalone blu-ray player. My Sony BDP is exhibiting the same problems on some discs. Get the PS3 repaired or time for a new player, I guess. Amazon is selling blu-ray players as cheap as $49.95 if you don't want nor care about 3D or WiFi.
