When I try to play games it either freezes on the dashboard or starts to play the game, then freezes on a black screen, with both of these situations, if I'm in a party, I can still hear people and people can still hear me. I haven't done anything to my console to mess it up, and I cleared my cache to see if I was missing updates or something of the sort. None of it has worked, I even redownloaded my profile to make sure that it wasn't that. I can't seem to get it to work.

Sounds like it could be the laser dying. Its strong enough to recognize the game but when it tries to move the laser and read the security sectors its not strong enough.

I thought it was the laser, also. But even games downloaded to my hard drive don't work.

The hard drive may be slowly going out. Do you hear any whining/grinding/clicking sounds from the hard drive when doing anything with the hard disk (e.g. loading a hard-disk based game)?
