Unhappy Help with PS3 60 gig please.

What happens is, when i play a blu ray film the screen goes grey & choppy.The games are fine, no probs at all.What could it be ???.Anyone had the same problem ???. Could it be dust or faulty drive maybe.

The games are blu ray & can be downscaled i think.Perhaps the films can't.I'll see how it goes.

If your laser was gone, it wouldnt play a dvd, blue ray dvd or a game.
So dont think its that.

Change back to your scart or if u have another hdmi, try that first and see what happens.

It seems like the scart lead is a dud.I tried swapping with an hdmi lead, it works perfect with that.The screen only goes grey/choppy when i press play, with a scart lead in.The XMB is fine ( PS3 menu ).Nah i don't download blu ray films DOHC.
