PS3 Start Error 8001002B

Hey,

Got my PS3 5 weeks ago and been having a blast since then. I was ready to play Uncharted this evening and whacked the disc in per usual and was hit with this message just after the PS3 splash screen and little jingle:

Now I did notice a very small chip on the very outside of the disc and I am guessing because its blu ray and the disc density is very high even a small chip can cause the disc to misread? I have tried RFOM and GT5P and they work fine. I did a google of the error message but found nothing of any interest as people seem to get that error message doing other things such as attaching USB devices If its the disc I will have to re-buy it I guess as I have got 34% in and am loving it, just fortunate I can find it for £23!
I will get a mate to try it on his PS3 tomorrow to see if his can read the disc. Anyone had this error message or know exactly what it means? I had a quick look through the master error list but could not find it listed.

Cheers!

Cheers for the replies guys! I tested the game in a mates PS3 and it started up and ran completely fine So that proves theres nothing wrong with the disc I guess. If the problem lies my end what could be causing it, as every other game works fine so I don't think its a laser problem.

Okay this gets stranger:

I took the disc round a mates and it played fine. I have borrowed his Unchartered disc and it works fine in my PS3. It seems like my version of the game and my PS3 do not like each other yet my disc will work in other PS3's and my PS3 will play other uncharted discs. How VERY annoying.

Just got off the phone to Sony Tech Support, Young Indian Chap seems to think its a disc problem despite me telling him it worked fine in 2 other PS3's. He was going to get me Naughty Dogs phone number but they don't appear to have it on their system.....
Bit of a joke to be honest, looks like I will have to re-buy it.
