ps3 PS3 Will Not Read BD Discs

Hey everyone. I haven't really posted on here since early in the year, but I just recently bought my first PS3 and was hoping that everyone would be kind enough as to give me some tech support.

I bought the PS3 USED on Ebay, but the guy said it worked perfectly, and it did come out of the original packaging in perfect "looking" condition. However, it will not load Blu-rays at all, specifically games, as I don't have any movies yet. Many times, it will not even recognize that I've loaded the disc. When it does, it never makes it past the loading screen before freezing up the system completely. The kicker is that it plays DVDs fine. System is fully updated, and I even reformatted the HDD.

I've already filed a complaint with the guy who sold it to me, but I wanted opinions from people who have owned PS3s. Do you know what the problem could be, or how I could go about fixing it? Thanks for any help in advance.
