Blueray movies will not play, games will freze, or not play at all
There are two optical drives on a ps3. One is for CDs and standard DVDs and the other is for blu-rays and games. The eye that reads the blu-rays is probably on its way out or shot. You can try cleaning it and I wouldn't recommend using one of those CDs with a brush on it. If you're savvy enough open it up to expose the optical eye and clean it by hand.
Do you have media on the system? Videos or music? Because if you can't play those, then you need to set HDD Playback or something. It's in the settings in system or video. Also if it won't play it then maybe the disc is scratched or dirty or maybe humid(due to heat).
Check the disc. Sometimes it can be damaged internally. Check the little ring in the center of the disc. Any crack or scratch may prevent it from being able to be read. Does the system sound like its skipping when you try to play the disc? If it does the disc is damaged.

I think it is because your Blu-ray laser is burnt out. If that's what's happening to your Blu-ray player, try using Blu-ray lens cleaner to have your Blu-ray player cleaned.
You can check on this article for this kind of issue:

Try using a lens cleaning disc. If that doesn't help your PS3's disc drive is probably dying. Time to call Sony support...

The reason you can't play movies is because dvd movies and blu-ray especially require more power from the laser in order to load them properly. Games don't require as much power from the laser so it loads quicker. The laser inside of the drive is going weak and the only way to fix that problem is to get the laser replaced. Heres an example of what the laser looks like: http://www.yallstore.com/ps3-laser-lens-kes410aca-two-lenses-p-4363.html You can do a search thru google and find more but at least you know what the part looks like. There is also instructions on how to replace the laser as well here: http://progamer.cc/blog/ps3-laser-kem-400a/how-to-replace-a-ps3-bluray-lens-guide.html/ Hope this helps.

YOur PS3 might be overheating, make sure that it is somehwere in the open, like on a desk, or at least has room if its in a cabinet. Also make sure that it is not on a rug, or any other heat conducting amterial such as a bed, rug, or even plastic.

It is region protected, so you can't play all type of Blu-ray discs, and the PS3 will not read all kind of media.
It is region for the games only.
