Try messing around with the BD/DVD settings something may have gotten switched off, or if all else fails call sony, something bad may have happened to the laser, but I can't be sure. I hope the first choices has some results :).

well if you have a 40gb ps3 then try the "ps3 fan test". this test would get rid of all the dust in your ps3, some which would be on the laser causing problems to read the disks.

if you have a different ps3 like the 60gb then get a vacuum cleaner and go around the grills of the ps3.

I read somewhere that the old blu-ray players burn out. mine did and i sent it back to sony. My warranty was up so it cost $150. Since i got my new one my ps3 has only froze once. I remember when everyone was talking about GTA freezing their system. I, luckily, never had that problem and i think it was because of the new ps3 sony sent me back.
