I'm on the PS3, and I'm trying to get Brink to work. I insert the disc, press on the disc icon to run the game, and I get a short black screen for about 10 seconds, then it returns to the XMB, and gives me a 'an error has occured during the start operation' followed by this error code: 80010017. Does anyone know a possible workaround/fix for this? Also, this is the only game that has this fault on my PS3. I tested my other games (Uncharted, Killzone etc) and they work perfectly. So, anyone else have this issue?

Have you tried playing it with your internet turned off?

When this happens to me I turn off the PS3 and leave it for like 20 seconds, turn it off on the switch at the back of the machine too. 

" I have to actually take the power out of the back in order to turn it off, pressing the green button (i've got a slim ps3) does nothing. "

googling the error code suggested this 

It's your Blu Ray lens, if it's on it's way out newer games tend to cause it issues. Although I'd go buy a cleaner for it before doing anything drastic.
