Strange,the ps3 certainly play's DVD's,if it's not a region coding issue and it is happening to all your discs then it must be faulty.

well, i think its time for a new one, it will only play Netflix and my 2 downloaded games

why doesn't the newer PS3 version play PS2 games ?

Because it looks awful anyway ?
Seriously, there is now more than enough PS3 games on the market and to save space, you need to make choices / remove options.

I hardly ever watch DVDs anymore, especially since I got the projector with the 106" screen, but I over the last few months, out of the about 3 DVDs I've popped into the PS3, 2 have frozen the unit, where I've had to unplug and plug back in. Strange.
