The latest PS3 firmware update thing has killed my PS3. Sometimes when I turn it on the icons don't show up (the ones that have the spinny circle thing when loading), and even when it does, I choose to load WipeOut and it doesn't work. Fails to load.

 

What The Fuck...

 

Is this a wide spread problem?

This isn't funny, it is completely fucked up. When the icons do load, when I click on them it just freezes.

Why? Why do this just as the great games start coming out?

Apparently it has happened to a few people and after I searched GT forums I found the fix.

 

have a 60gb ps3 and after i installed the 2.5 update, it would freeze at the xmb and wouldn't load anything other than the main menu items. Here's what i did to fix it

 

My 60gb WAS locked up but i fixed it. Here's how.

Hold power button on ps3 to turn it on, keep holding it until it turns itself off. THen take your hand off and then do it again. Hold it until you here the third set of beeps. Then take your hand off. It will take you to the Options screen.

1 - Restart System

2 - Restore Default Settings

3 - Restore File System

4 - Rebuild Database

5 - Restore PS3 System

6 - System Update

 

Now here's what i did.

1. I resored Default settings...doesn't hurt anything, you'll just have to reset time, internet etc. (btw, i don't know if this helped anything but it's what i did so included it.)

2. Then when i restarted the ps3 i got a message during bootup that my file system on the harddrive was corrupt(or something) and needed to restore fily system.... so i clicked OK

3. It did it and when it rebooted i still got the same message. So I then did the process of pulling up the OPTIONS menu again and clicked RESTORE FILE SYSTEM manually.

 

This time when the ps3 rebooted everything worked fine. I went to check and 2.50 WAS installed. So its good now. I don't know WHAT part of the process was the fix, but SOMETHING did it. You can probably just get away with resoring the file systems, but i dont know. So you can have a go

I've been wondering...does anyone know when the PSP adhoc to PS3 update is due? Did they give any indication. For those who don't know basically lets you play any adhoc wireless PSP game online via the PS3's infrastructure mode...

The PS3 is fucked. I did that thing, had to re-enter online settings etc. But it's still acting weird. I can play games, but sometimes the icons freeze and when I try to quit a game I'm just met with a black screen.

 

I didn't do that RESTORE FILE SYSTEM thing because I couldn't see that option and secondly I think it might erase the data I have.

:(

Hello everyone, missed me? Probably not no...

 

Anyway, I'm not sure why I haven't posted on here for about 4 months, but here I am with a LITTLE BIG PLANET preorder.

 

Who else is going to get LBP? I didn't get on the BETA so I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Anyone know if the Resistance 2 Limited Edition is getting released in Europe?

 

And if not, would I be able to pre-order it from the states, and get it with no problems ?(Like would the unique MP skin work and everything.)

Apart from me as I never got to try out the Beta and the money I have needs to go towards debt payments. Although a few friends owe me some gifts though....

Oh yes, got it pre-ordered and everything!

 

The PSN update yesterday was pretty shit, apart from the Motorstorm 2 demo, there was nothing really there. I know there can't be top releases every week but when I had a shufty on the US store, there was SOCOM Confrontation available for download. I had enough of this shit from Nintendo..... *mumble moan grumble goes and orders socom from VG+* At least the PS3 is region free ;).

LittleBigPlanet release delayed in Europe

 

The release of Sony's highly anticipated PlayStation 3 title LittleBigPlanet has been delayed in Europe.

 

The game was due for release next week, October 24, but now some retailers are estimating the game may be delayed by three weeks until November 14.

 

However, GamesIndustry.biz understands that the title may not suffer such a long delay to retail, and a new date is expected to be announced by Sony shortly.

 

LittleBigPlanet has reviewed incredibly well in the specialist press and anticipation is high from consumers who have already had access to the beta of the game.

 

Sony has said that the game is a system seller for the PlayStation 3, and the title is considered one of the most important releases for the home console this Christmas.

 

More details to follow.

 

 

Ive just checked GAME and they only have the date as Oct 08 now.

The thing is if its the week of a firmware update we never get a good update....noticed Warhawk has gone down to £14.99 may be one to get early next year.

 

Other than SOCOM US store isn't that good, did anyone look at JPN?

 

EDIT;

 

WTF?!!! H-o-T just read your post that is BS, cannot believe it.
