Try cleaning the inside of the disc tray get rid of the dust same on the disc. Then re-try.
If it does not work check that the game is the english version.
If it isn't you need to buy the english one. The english tag is NTSC, on the side of the box.

Let me know your results.

Does the disc have a scratch on?

Fallzak · 04-05-2009, 05:54 PM

no the disc is brand new

It sounds like as if the laser reading your disc is blunt or not present at all.
There is no possible way to check this without proper instruments.
Best advice - Take it to a hardware shop - Ask them to check it out.
Tell them the exact problem.
Wish I could help more.

Usually a hardware shop where they fix computers or mobile phones.
Your probably looking at about £15 to £40 depending upon the problem.
If you do take it in let me know what the problem was. See if I was foolish enough to let anything slip by me.
