That is a problem i had with my PS2 and DvD's.
I think this is how it goes. Game discs are certain manufacturer and the data is spread is different ways. For the most part games are fine and are the last thing to fail. You can see if it gets worse as your driver seems to start making more noise trying to fetch the data and failing a few times.
Movie discs, aswell as other discs are from several different manufacturers. The laser on your system will try to adjust to these new discs, but this comes at a price, as it will just de-adjust it further in time, the more different discs you use.
Eventually freeze ups come on games and eventually the system dies and cant read anything anymore without heavy strain and needs repairing. Unfortunely you cant send it to repair until the thing actually completely breaks.
That was the reason why i walked away from Sony after the PS2. It didnt leave me happy one bit. I thought they had worked their products out, but between you and what i see in a friends system, its depressing to see it still happens. That annoying slow death of the laser annoys me to no end.
I am planning on getting a PS3 and its gonna be a slim... but now im wondering if i should go for the super-slim...

I really hope my PS3 isn't dieing. My slim is only 16 months old!
