It’s probably a regional problem. Although PS3 can read and run games from any region, playback of DVD and Bluray movies from other regions (PAL, NTSC) is blocked. For example, if you live in the EU, you won’t be able to play movies from the US or Australia.

Can a slim PS3 stand on its side?
Yes, you can without a stand. Unless there is a risk of it tipping over (pets, your fault, earthquakes, etc.), it will be fine on its side. I use my ps3 slim and my 360 as bookends.
