Are Blu Ray Lense More Fragile (My Main Worry With Next Gen)

Surely you are f**** then. But as the lense won't be stressed like this gen, this problem shouldn't be so often like ylod is now. Do other games work?

Well this is how my lense is right now, all dual-layered discs don't work, shame because those are some of my favorite games like MGS4, GoW3, and Uncharted 3.  For single layered discs, when I start up my PS3 it makes this weird ejecting noise then the game doesn't show up on the XMB, if I leave my PS3 on for like 30 min then turn if off and back on then it can read single-layered discs, but still can't read dual-layered discs.  Its really weird.

Try to play a DVD film. Usually, Bluray players have two lenses, one for BDs and other for DVDs, since it's cheaper to manufacture. If it can read DVDs, your Bluray lens is broken, if it cannot, may be other thing, like the motor on the lenses.

I don't know if its cheap to replace this, but it looks relatively simple:  https://www.google.com.br/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=ps3+replace+lens&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CDIQtwIwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DRC1HLdjATSM&ei=edcPUrrGHum32wXHm4CwDA&usg=AFQjCNE6U2zIdA3x0sUj_EsRml6kVRUBFg&sig2=wd_EcYakB9nC3Mkybwgx4A&bvm=bv.50768961,d.b2I

The price is dependant on if you have to replace just the lens or the entire optical unit (PS2 fat demanded that. The PS2 Slim allowed to change just the lens, so it costs like US$ 20, just for an example).
