Hey guys..

There seem to be a problem after I downloaded a PS3 demo from the Playstation Store on my PS3..

After the download, (100%), it'll start to install.. But some games will have an error during installation (error code : 80010038 - Tried googling it, no results on that matter)..

I tried connecting thru wireless and on a wired connection (LAN), but sadly it still doesn't install.. (Only occured on Motorstorm demo, GTHD was fine)..

Anyone have this same problem ? Or anyone here knows how to avoid this annoying problem ? Wasted my time downloading it twice and unable to install and have to redownload again.. But I really want to try the Motorstorm demo..

Erm, I wonder if any LYN PS3 owners experienced this problem :

My PS3 has been acting weird lately.
I downloaded the E3 trailers, and none of them could be played.

It plays and lags, with the HDD indicator lighted up (not blinking).
And after about 5 minutes, it displays "data has been corrupted".

I tried copying the video file to my external HDD, and to my dismay, after 2%, the PS3 turns off by itself and a red light blinking.

Okay, the demos stored in the HDD, lags terribly.
GT:HD required 5-6 minutes to load.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma took longer. I don't know how long since I became frustrated and turned the PS3 off.

Motorstorm and other games work fine (which runs off from the blu-ray disc).

I tried reformatting, and now the games won't install at all.

Strange thing is,
I'm able to play videos which are transferred from my external HDD to the PS3 HDD.
Not to say, music plays fine.

Guys, could it be my PS3's HDD problem ?
I never had this problem for the last 6 months.

Thanks.
