Reboot your PS3 and check for any software updates. Sometimes a simple restart or having the latest firmware can solve the issue.

First off, try cleaning the disc with a soft, lint-free cloth. Sometimes it's just dust or grime causing the issue. If that doesn't work, give the lens a gentle clean using a lens cleaning kit. Worked wonders for me!

It might be the disc drive itself. If it's making weird noises or just not spinning the disc, it could be a hardware issue. You might wanna contact Sony support or a professional repair shop.

Hot take: Just go digital. Discs are so 2006 anyway.
