    yes it could, the Samsung drive has a much high reading compatibility than the phillips, you can buy a samsung drive and stick in his box, if you like, anothre thing you can try doing, is when burning your backup, use high quality media, and burn at a very slow speed, slowest you can go is best.

    Yeah, I have a Phillips here that's doing the same thing! Easiest way around it is as suggested, use better media or change the drive!

    Straange thing about mine is that it will play most games just not a select few, and they're ALL on the same media!?
