No pirated DVD because my son only watches a couple of original DVDs. The rest of the movies are in the HDD. Guess I'll have to send it back to Sony.

I read somewhere in the internet and it says that FAT32 has limited storage space. Let's say i got one 320G external HDD and it can be formatted into FAT32. Will it able to backup my ps3 data and games? FYI, My ps3 data + downloaded games has eaten up my ps3 storage around 200G.

if only save data you can actually subscribe playstaion+ can help you backup;of course can transfer to flash drive but not all games can help smile.gif OR ps3(your current) to ps3(new) with RJ45(lan cable) to transfer everything,however hdd swap you still have to format it became new user. smile.gif

All sifu. Need so advise ?

Recently my console auto shout down in t half way when playing. T closing sound is 3 sound of beep. Then need to manually press back t on button on t console.
Hav ask a game shop, she say it's time to change.

To clarify is it true ?
Or is it any way to repair it ?
My console is t big fat 1st ver with 40gb. Around 3years d.

YLOD symptoms. which mean overheat issue. its depends your ventilations ,what games you play and how many hours gameplay;very sure mostly phat unit user never really maintain like change thermal paste per year once. but your case already reached the YLOD stage so have to repair.

the only games can get overheat easily for phat unit.

- Modern Warfare 3
- Battlefield 3
- Uncharted 3 (you can actually read their forum)

any other games sensitive im not sure.

etc; any games start from firmware 3.70 to 4.0 problem it comes very common overheat for phat unit because the mobo gpu cannot reach the requirement for new games and i estimate after repair the console if keep playing new games most can tahan 2-3 month its consider very lucky ,yes,can repair but try the best remain go back to old games sweat.gif .

so its depends on your decision;some people wants to repair just to backup their data and shift to slim unit.this is what i can see my experience, so correct me if im wrong smile.gif

chipsets are different,so for me is stronger . but of course you still have to maintain; always remember every year service once at least.

play online even faster overheat,i got friend play BF3 in multiplayer terus dead (phat unit)

i missed the old times firmware version 2.0-3.0 repair once ylod is already considered permanent fix,but now shakehead.gif

I also have same symptom like u but only happen with my FIFA 12 bd..ps3 laying flat..then I try put ps3 in vertical, lessen the prob a bit..

after a while now my ps3 in horizontal position again and the symptom almost non-existence (still happen once a while) only on FIFA. other bd is perfect.

now I do hope the symptom is gone edy..I take precaution by turn on Aircond every time play

did u tried other games ?

edit:
i mean did u clean the disc ? sometimes small fingerprint let your ps3 lens stress keep reading will spoil also.

what i experience recently friend of mine same issue as your current now.just take out the hdd and plugin back then swith on the power(green light) leave it there blank picture like 2-5minutes estimate after that you will see a "format" thingy safemode . try your luck,just sharing experience smile.gif

additional notes: your hdd format must go for FAT32 .

My suggestion just send to sony, this is mac address error,

Bluetooth and wifi issue only Phat unit can repair but not slim .
So mostly sony can claim replace a new mobo for you.

2 options kena like this which is:
Internet affect and
Jailbroken ps3 smile.gif

Just remember do not touch sony warranty sticker.

bro, i just bought a 320G PS3, and notice HDD shows 263/298GB, is it like that? u also get the same?

Q) I bought a 40/80GB set but the HDD is showing less than 40/80GB available space, what happened?
A) Around 12% of PS3 HDD is reserved by the GameOS as system cache.
Here's some rough estimate of usable space:
31/37GB
46/55GB
64/74GB <- 80GB SET
98/111GB
130/149GB
205/232GB
263/298GB

today my console hang/freezes around 3 times within an hour. i was playing this game called Venetica... I restarted my console, i received a message saying that i did not turn off the console properly, and that there is some file corrupted... Then i play that game again, and it hang again, then i restart i got the same message again... any idea what's causing this problem??? And when i turn off my console just now, i heard 3 beeping sound...
*
1. try separate ur ps3 power plug also will cause like this beep thrice.
2. perhaps early sign of YLOD .

additional notes : please take note 3beeps not just overheat issue;power is also related please separate it individual 1 plug 1 device is the best.
