Hi, I don't know if anybody is still looking at this thread, but I had similar "cannot copy" problems and I googled out this forum. Anyway I found a solution of my problems, which may work for you as well. Namely... I was recording via optical cable from my laptop to my MD deck and for almost 40MD's everything was perfect, but one day "cannot copy" on MD deck as well as on portable MD recorder. The problem was in the settings of optical output - before I started my first ever recording I changed default format to "2 channels stereo, 16bit, 44,1kHz" and everything worked fine, but one day my laptop changed default format to "Dolby Digital Live 5.1 surround" so the optical data became unknown to MD recorders. I changed it back to stereo 16bit, 44,1kHz and recording works like a charm. I don't know anything about PS3, but maybe there is an option for setting default format of optical output as well. Good luck!
