Choze Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I wouldnt use the word refreshing for Half Life series. Also console versions of Valve stuff is never worth it. http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/3437165/-/Product.html?source=0750113447&cm_mmc=Silverpop-_-Int_Games_wk27%20Jul%2009%20Vol%201-_-A-_-GAMES_OTHER_OFFERS_2&utm_source=SilverpopMailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Games%20Interest%202009-07-03%20July%20&P36=ETM74Q G25 racing wheel just £99 when you use the following code: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) I believe my PS3 may have finally fucked it About a month ago it froze during a game and after restarting it, it decided it wasn't detecting any discs. Eventually it cured itself, however since then it's not been 100%. Every so often it won't read games/blu-rays and tonight it seems that the only thing it will play are music CD's. Meh. [Edit] If i was to give sony a ring, would the 160gb hard drive in put it in affect it in any way? Such as getting a refurb one?

Its pretty minor. Call Sony to sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just rang them, apparently i am to do a full system restore, if that doesn't work (not that i'm expecting it to) i'm to pay £145 for a refurb one. The robbing bastards! Spending £300 on a machine to last 18 month is shocking. Edited July 4, 2009 by Strider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columnar Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 @ Strider - £145!!!! That's utter shite. My PS3's laser crapped out on Boxing Day last year after only 11 months. I phoned up Sony and spoke to a very nice chap who told me that it needed replaced and within a week a man came and swapped my PS3 for a refurbed one right there on my doorstep and I didn't pay a thing. I've just had a thought though... Has your warrenty expired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could even be the HDD as PS3 blocks the Blu Ray if HDD is malfunctioning. They are just spelling out worse case scenario, though your local repair centre might have issues.

The Lillster Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Strider, check out consolewerks and ConsoleDoctor They do PS3 repairs and it's a lot cheaper than sending it to Sony, plus you get to keep your original console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choze Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) If they are charging you £145 it seems like its not certain what the issue is or its serious. If its something basic it would probably be free. Lillster's links look interesting. They could prove to be useful. It could also be Blu Ray dirty lense. But odont rush out and use any Blu Ray cleaner. Many of them will damage the lense permanently. Make sure you use an approved cleaner. Regarding failed backup or restore. Make sure both drives are ok as you mentioned you got at least one used. You can run checks on a computer with free software. Reading the above i am not surpised the person on the phone is charging you. You probably have two problems.

It only has some art books and strategy guides in the "stop importing it" special edition version which, frankly, are available free online. Would have expected more really.

dwarf Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 inFAMOUS nowhere to be seen then. Not surprising because yesterday I saw the first Playstation advert since the original Heavenly Sword 'This is Living' ad. The recent one was for Transformers the game..... Why don't thy advertise the high quality titles. It's kind of cool being a relatively small member of the PS3 club but Sony really shoot themselves in the foot because no-one knows what the new playstation is capable of. As far as a muggle is concerned you can just play videogames on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrizkerr2 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Anyone which can recommend me some RPG's for the PSP? Disgaea seems to be out of the question, as I can't seem to find it anywhere. And I already have Tales of Eternia, just looking for some ace RPG's to increase my PSP collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
