Console. And if the scene is unskippable, you are screwed

Well if it happens at the same spot all the time, more then likely it is the game disc.
Try it out in someone else's Ps3 to confirm.
I had a bad brand new copy of DOA and it didnt work from a bad burn at the factory.

Try a lens cleaner kit off Amazon and buy a disk cleaner always worth it with old consoles and games

My guess would be that it's possibly the hard drive as ps3 loads games onto it & generally runs the game from there, only using the disc to verify.

Good news is changing the hard drive is pretty well documented now & it's just a laptop hard drive.

Wtf 😳
