Call Of Duty on PS3, disc read errors and Treyarch

By: Alan Ng | July 2, 2009 | 7 Comments

Have you suffered from the infamous disc read error on your PS3 console? An article we have found has stated that the cause for the error could be Call of Duty: World at War, which was developed by Treyarch.

The news is according to ZKG, who have written a detailed report on how Call of Duty, more specifically, Treyarch’s game is to blame for all these disc read errors.

Midway through their article, they state that they had contact from a former employee from Infinity Ward who had this to say on the issue:

They said that the way that Treyarch’s code is executed and organized causes the disc to spin too fast in the PS3 thus blowing the Blu Ray lens and that is what causes all those disc read errors.

    I have the same problem with that game, except it’s on the Xbox 360. Coincidence?

  • Gamer

    Guys, this is total BS. The reason this rumor was started was because of the massive numbers of people playing W@W. There are a lot of W@W players having this error simply because there are a lot of W@W players. Period. I can’t believe people propagate such ridiculousness.

    This is not BS! Just last week in the middle of playing W@W the game froze so i reset it. Then the PS3 didnt recognize the disc that was still in so i ejected and re-inserted it. That is when i got the infamous error. After numerous attempts to get it to read, it finally loaded and just 2-3 minutes into the game it froze again. I tried this 52 times! I also cleaned the lense with a cleaning disc and manually cleaned it. The lense still reads DVD’s, and Music cd’s but when a game is put in or a blu ray it wont load! I’d like to know what TreyArch plans are about fixing this problem. Will there be a download to fix this issue, or is it going to just get swept under the rug! Now I just yesterday put out the 100$ to replace the lense! SO WHATS GONNA HAPPEN?

    this happened to me, but while playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. i think it is a legitimate concern, since both Call of Duties probably share that same buggy line (or lines) of code

    I got the read disc error on my PS3 since this morning with Modern Warfare 2 after a freeze… Could it be that CoD really is a PS3 lense-killer?

    I have no idea if it is just coincidence, but my PS3 is now operating incorrectly, also.

    I spent the last 4 months working out of state and away from home and my PS3. I have today off and my girlfriend is at work so I thought, what a perfect opportunity to play some CoD: MW2! I get lazy so I usually set the game I play the most next to my PS3 upside down out of it's case so I can just grab it and insert it. I grabbed the game, glanced at it, and loaded it. I get the software update notice for the game which I was expecting granted all the time I have been away, so I click ok and let it do it's thing. After the download and install, the game restarts and begins to load. When it hits the main menu, I click start… that's when I noticed, wait a minute, this is World At War, not Modern Warfare 2. My girlfriend must have moved some of my discs and I hadn't noticed. to be continued…

    … continued.

    Anyways, I try to exit out and close the game app but I realize that my PS3 is not responding to anything I do. It is completely frozen and stuck on the main screen for World At War and it says "Reading HDD" near the bottom. After about 10 minutes, I have no choice but to flip the power switch off on the back and restart the machine. The machine restarts and I remove the disc and load Modern Warfare 2. The PS3 leaves the main home screen and goes dark as it normally does when trying to load a game… but after about 30 seconds, returns to the PS3 home screen. I cannot find a solution.
