My Ps3 Won’t Play Blu Ray Movies :(?

I have a PS3 Slim (V. 3.10 update) and a Samsung LE22B450 [1], both are about 6 months old. I have played a few games with this set-up and there was no problem. However, today I tried to play The Bourne Identity on Blu Ray and it won’t work.
Firstly, i’ll point out that the TV isn’t full HD, it’s only HD Ready. But, if I click ’source’ on the TV remote and select HDMI, it will say ‘1920×1080 at 60Hz’ although this hasn’t affected the games in any way.
When I put the Blu Ray in, the PS3 recognises is at the a Blu Ray and as The Bourne Identity. So, then I click ‘X’ to play it and it starts with that loading symbol of a circle at the top right for about 2 seconds, then it changes to the ‘play’ symbol at the bottom left along with ‘Options’ and the green triangle logo at the bottom, this then disappears after a second and the screen stays black from then on. There is no video and no sound.
I first went on a forum and found that similar problems were fixed by going to Settings> Video Settings>
BD 1080p 24 Hz Output (HMDI) and turning it off, so I did and it didn’t work. So I turned the PS3 off and on again and that made no difference.
So… (starting to get pissed off a bit now) I reset the PS3 by the usual procedure (turning it off and holding the on/off button for a few seconds until it bleeps). I then got the option to ‘install’ the display from scratch. The PS3 recognised the TV as HDMI and it said the ‘optimal setting’ it could achieve was 1080p, so I selected it. Still, it won’t play the damn movie :(
I hope this is enough information for you to solve this issue. All help will be much appreciated! Thank you!

    The latest update is 3.15 !
    If the Blu-ray Disc does not support 1080p 24Hz video mode, the video output may not display properly.
    If a Blu-ray Disc movie is not loading properly or is freezing on a title screen, this may be caused by the PLAYSTATION 3 attempting to download BD-Live content from congested movie studio servers. If you experience this issue, you may choose to temporarily bypass the BD-Live content until the congestion at the movie studio servers has cleared.
    Go to Settings icon (Settings) > Video Settings icon (Video Settings) > [BD Internet Connection], select “Confirm”. Then reload the Blu-ray movie and the PLAYSTATION 3 will prompt you if you wish to allow the disc to access BD-Live content. Choose to not access BD-Live content to see if the movie will now load.

    For some reason you seem to think this is a PS3 problem. Why do you think this is a PS3 problem? If you can play PS3 games, then I will say it is not a PS3 problem, as all PS3 games are on Blu-ray, and if you were having problems playing PS3 games, then that could account for the movie not working.
    Since only the movie isn’t working, I am going to say you have a defective Blu-ray disc. Did you just buy this movie, or have you viewed it before using the PS3? If you have never viewed it on the PS3, then the problem lies in the disc, and you need to take it back and have it exchanged.
    If you have played the disc in the PS3 before (the PS3 you are having a problem with, not a different PS3 or Blu-ray player), or you still think it is a PS3 problem, then use the “Disc Troubleshooting” support page. Normally, if a Blu-ray movie will not play, it won’t play at all, and it is because the Blu-ray laser has gone out. It sounds to me that the disc is bad, but this is only going on the information you have supplied.
    Here is the Disc Troubleshooting support page mentioned above: http://playstation.custhelp.com/app/answ…

    Sorry, I just noticed you gave a UK link. Here is the support page for the UK. You will have to do a search on the site to find the Disc Troubleshooting page for your region. http://uk.playstation.com/support/

    Try the movie in another blu rau dvd player or PS3 if possible ! If it plays then you know it’s not the disc ! There could be a video setting issue as well ! Also try another blu ray movie in your PS3 if possible !
    Try resetting your video settings ! Make sure all of your connections are firm and secure !
