PS3 Need for Speed most wanted 2012 start button not working

Hi there, I just bought my son a copy of Need for Speed 2012 Most Wanted for PS3 (like new from Amazon). The disc does not seem to be scratched. I loaded it up on the PS3, but it seems to be stuck ...

Try booting the console with just the regular controller connected and see if you can get past that screen, thanks.

    Hi Barry,

    I tried that and it did not work.

    I tried uninstalling the game, shut down the system, restart the system and reinstall, and it still wont work.

    I have given the disc to my friend to see if he can get it to work on his system.

    I will let you know of the outcome.

    Meanwhile, any other solutions?  

    EA support sent me various trouble shooting fixes (like start in safe mode etc), but i dont think these will help, as this is a game specific issue. Other games seem to be working and DVDs are playing.

    Thank you, Ariel.

    Hi Barry,

    As a follow up to my last message, my friend check the game on his system and it did not work either.

    I tried also to change the controller number from 7 to 1 in the controller menu, but it did not help.

    Any more ideas?

    Thank you.
