best way 2 kno for sure is to try ur disc in another ps3 and see if it works.
Im having troubles myself w my ps3 tho BoP works fine, but i get alot of freezes in pretty much all of my other games, so i'm sending it to sony for repairs.

There are many ways to reset, restore or format ur ps3, i pretty much tried them all (tho nothing really worked for me, hdd seems corrupted and nothing i can do will fix it)- i sugg restoring the HDD files this way so u wont loose all ur saved games. here it goes (this only takes 5 minutes):
1-first erase all ur game data - not the saved games so u wont loose ur progress in all of ur games
2- turn off ps3
3-press and hold the power button, u'll hear a beep, it will start and then shut down, then relase the button
4- press and hold the power button, u'll hear one beep then two, release the button after hearing the two beeps
5- u'll now be in the recovery menu, choose the 3rd option (i think its called restore files, not sure... its the 3rd one for sure tho)
6- after that make ur system updates, reinstall ur game data (just put the game in) and things should b fine... if they're not i'm afraid its off to the repair shop for u too my friend

...and btw when calling sony, they will ask u for ur store receipt, i lost mine so i had to go to great lenghts to try n have it printed again by the store if i didnt want to pay the 150$ (ps3 was barely 4 months old, sony warranty lasts 1 year). So when i finally got it i called back ps3 and the guy simply asked me for the date of purchase written on the receipt... so i'm guessin i couldve simply made up a date and it would have done the same, unless they want me to put the receipt in the box along with the PS3 - i'll get back to u shortly on this one: i should receive the box from purolator this afternoon
