The big difference while watching the actual films is that you need a constant downstream. When you're playing a game, on a DVD, the most it does is copy file here and there, which could result in slightly longer loading times if it can't read the track from the first try.

If the guarantee has run out already, try getting blowing the dust out with one of those. I advice against blowing on it due to the high moisture content in your breath.



You get bonus points if you can remind me what those things are called. I've been struggling for about half an hour now, but I can't remember.
