I can play it fine in my friends PS3 (both 60GB launch systems) that is running the same update. I don't know why it screws up some systems and not others. I luckily do not have the audio issues or issues playing my Blu-Rays (that I have noticed).

I wish they would fix it already...]]>Sep 25th 2009 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/ps3-3-0-3-01-firmware-update-making-blu-ray-drive-unusable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/ps3-3-0-3-01-firmware-update-making-blu-ray-drive-unusable/Sep 25th 2009 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/ps3-3-0-3-01-firmware-update-making-blu-ray-drive-unusable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/ps3-3-0-3-01-firmware-update-making-blu-ray-drive-unusable/Sep 25th 2009 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/ps3-3-0-3-01-firmware-update-making-blu-ray-drive-unusable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/ps3-3-0-3-01-firmware-update-making-blu-ray-drive-unusable/Sep 25th 2009 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/ps3-3-0-3-01-firmware-update-making-blu-ray-drive-unusable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/ps3-3-0-3-01-firmware-update-making-blu-ray-drive-unusable/Sep 25th 2009 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/ps3-3-0-3-01-firmware-update-making-blu-ray-drive-unusable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/ps3-3-0-3-01-firmware-update-making-blu-ray-drive-unusable/Sep 25th 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/ps3-3-0-3-01-firmware-update-making-blu-ray-drive-unusable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/ps3-3-0-3-01-firmware-update-making-blu-ray-drive-unusable/

I purchased a a game, tried out another Blu-ray disc that I knew was fine and tried them out with the same results. Of course, it could play DVDs, PS1 games, and CDs but that didn't help.
Gamestop was much more helpful over the phone and emailing me a return label. The entire process of returning and replacing took just under two weeks.
