are some discs "slippery"? - Blu-ray Forum

TheTenth · 03-20-2008, 10:51 AM

it happened to me with some discs that the PS3 has some problems drawing in some discs (most of them DVDs, even more DVD-RW), I thought it had something to do with the thickness maybe or the coating ... It doesn't seem it's the PS3 as it's always the same discs causing problems
should I use some kind of "aspirating device" as it may be some dust that got into it? what kind? (a table vaccum cleaner?)

anyone had a similar experience?

Have you tried boiling them yet????

No, seriously though, I have never experienced this....maybe it just doesn't get the best grip on the leading edge every time.

Nope I have not experienced this issue either, not once.

I know that some discs, like Blade Runner sometimes, have rough edges. And some people have reported that the PS3 just won't accept them.

No issues so far with mine thank god.

I think i know what you mean by the disk being "slippery", almost like it has some sort of Oil on it, but i have never had a problem with my ps3 grabbing the disk..

One of the reasons I hate slot loads with a passion. If you have discs you use a lot, they often do get "slipperly", and the drive to remove them has trouble gripping the disc after awhile.

have the same problem with some of my discs... nothing too bad though.
