I just saved my ps3 from the dead just now. Every time it started I got a frozen XMB with no icons. Thanks to recovery mode I chose the rebuild file system option and it went back good as new

Wiped out one season worth of jdrama on my hdd, backed up my savegames and cleared out my SFIV install. Selecting cammy from the list started the whole issue. I'm guessing doing an install on a nearly full HDD caused the SFIV install to be fragmented, and that made access time slower, screwing up the ps3 system

PS3 update runs fine for me, just that the glitter seems nice at first, but after a while I can't help feeling that it's a little gay. I've been socially brainwashed into thinking glitter = decoration favored by homosexual men.

I turned it to original.

I miss the chime very much

for 12 hengget for LBP theme baik aku beli KFC bukak puasa. Takpolah.

for some reason my ps3 decide to rise from the dead all by itself. I got no corrupted XMB when I turned it on last night. downloading 3.10 update.

hehe long time no see ajis

P.S ( I was considering to buy a PS3 slim already, I was THIS close! ) or maybe should have sent for repairs but mine is SG set, local shops here can repair broken RSX chips ke pun?

byk lagi game lain yg best boleh main, takde siksanya kalau tak pandang FFXIII.

bought a PS3 slim on new year last friday. (awal muharram) XD

I'm going to make malaysia PSN account my main one. Feel free to add me.Currently into :

1) Unchartered 2
2) Littlebigplanet


KZ2 is with my cousin for the time being.


PSN ID : Syed_Amir

of course bro XD

we can and we do. Problem is, when I tried putting in my savegame from my SG account (my phat ps3) to load from my MY account (my slim ps3) so far most games I tried refused to work. Seems like most savegames are locked to their PSN account that was created with.

Tested games so far :

God of War collection (locked)
GTA IV (locked)
GRiD (unlocked)
Littlebigplanet (locked of course!)

Worse still, some games refused to be copied to thumbdrives outright. (SFIV, CODIV).They live and die with your ps3. tough luck. If you wanna sell your savegames, people will either look on the net first usually or you just simply cannot use them.

yeah I won't be surprise if its YLOD. Sorry to hear that bro. My 40GB had funny color glitches before it crashes and I needed to repeatedly try and turn it on, sometimes it became okay after I made it stand on its edge. Most of the time, no.

All this seems to point to some defect that is caused by the motherboard slowly bending out of shape from being too hot, therefore making the contact area between the chip and the heatsink become smaller. That in turn makes the chip go even hotter and making it crash.

If you check the video on how to repair YLOD it basically shows you how to reflow back the contacts of the chip to the heatsink.

Guess I made the right choice to get a new one. Sending it to repair will just limit my gaming in some way again as well.Bernard said 5 hours per day gaming eh and cant play latest games?

it's ridiculous, end of last year also so many good games came out that I couldn't get. Batman, Assassin's creed 2, demon souls, MW2. haha I just wait till they get cheap.
