GLAD to know this and it is logical explanation. What about playing DVDs regardless of whether original or pirated on the PS3? Will that have an effect on the blu-ray laser?
As tempted as I am to say, yes pirated discs will damage your players laser, since I am against piracy, the fact is there is absolutely NO reason, technical or otherwise, that a pirated disc could damage the laser of a player. That is, not unless the pirated disc is physically of very poor quality and actually has a chance of breeaking up inside the player.What about playing DVDs regardless of whether original or pirated on the PS3?

Where have I sugested that it does?^^ Being against piracy is a Good practice, but that does not daviates form the fact that pirated discs have nothing to do with player's lense damage.....
Accepted. But, it might serve you well to read more carefully before reacting, in the future.^^ mmm maybe I misinterpreted your post then ..... In that case accept my apologies.......

PS: The player is a dumb machine and it has no way to know whether a disc is pirated or not.
I just realized that your question is whether playing a DVD on the PS3 will damage (wear out) it's 'blue' laser. The answer to it too, is NO, it won't. The DVD is played, using a seperate, Red laser. The 'Red' laser, is in fact, used to play all disc formats that the PS3 can play, except for Blu-ray discs. The 'Blue' laser on the other hand, is used to play only Blu-ray discs.What about playing DVDs regardless of whether original or pirated on the PS3? Will that have an effect on the blu-ray laser?

Thanks for elaborating that fact. The following should help determine what applies to one's PS3.That technique is not the defacto standard. In older PS3 models a single laser was used that used to adjust/change the wavelength according to the media played. Its only in the recent models they have come up with dual laser technique.
I have PS3 slim (not 160 gb) bought from Singapore around eight months ago. Does it have two lasers or one?
Please find the CECH number of your model - It should be located in the rear left in a form of white sticker. From the CECH number you should be able to find if it's dual or single
