ps3 won't play games

Hi

I have a PS3 that will pay dvd's & ps2 games but it won't play PS3 games.

What could be wrong with it and how much will cost to repair it as it's out of warranty.

Thanks

Plays ps2 games? When did you buy this PS3? what model is it?

Contact Sony and see what they say. Other people have had success in getting their 60gb console repaired even when out of warranty.

sounds like what happened to my first one, the blu-ray lens was bust but did play dvds and music cds but not games

does sound like the bru-ray has given up the ghost, chuck a blu-ray movie and see if that works to confirm

Happend to me due to a harddrive error

Do a full format and restore if that dont work then it prob is the bluray

What is the error message?
Isn't it HDCP related in that your monitor does not support it?

Yea could be HDCP. If your screen/monitor isnt compliant then youll get a blackscreen trying to play Blu-ray media through a digital connection like HDMI, but DVDs etc will be fine.
