And why drag up a thread 6 months old to have a bitch about? Clearly a sad, sad individual. My money's on AssG.

Yes, my son is on his 3rd PS3 (last one failed the day before the slim line ones came out). So far, the slim line version has been more relaible and runs noticeably cooler, smaller power supply etc...

Although on key bit of functionality taken out is that they don't over heat and melt the internal solder joints like my first PS3 did

If the boot screen works without the game it's either a knackered disk or parental controls in the settings? Not sure how that works with a PS3 as I'm an Xbox man.

(The game is rated 18, and he is 9 - I guess kids grow up fast these days )

As you know, the ps3 will display a login menu on boot. If that screen is visible, use the menu to turn off the disk auto play then whack the disk in. If it doesn't recognise it the disk is knackered.
Or, perhaps you're trying to load the 360 version?

Have they tried loading another game and see if that runs ok? if the other game is ok then I'd suspect the tv set up.
Is the tv capable of playing this game? We had issues with a game on an XBox. Turns out the game ran on 50Mhz and the tv was set to 60. so wouldnt run the game.

Can any PS3 experts think of a reason or suggest a remedy? It seems odd that there are two models called the same thing, especially with such an evident difference in functionality.
