My slim PS3 (CECH-2101B) is acting this way. I can load PS3 games but if I load a Blu-Ray movie it does some stuff but the disc never shows up on the XMB.
EDIT: So I did some more poking around and came across this. Lifting the PS3 the way it's described in this post does actually get it to see the disc in the drive. According to the post the problem comes down to the PS3's ability to read dual-layer Blu-Rays so I'm going to test it with a couple DL PS3 BDs.
EDIT 2: It does indeed seem to be DL BDs as some of my PS3 games act exactly the same way (won't show up on the XMB until the console is lifted vertically).
